Fun things I learned in Cambodia...

• I never knew how much I would miss toilets. (Most places have these things we call “squatty potties” which are kinda like a toilet, but more just like a hole in the ground that you have to pour water into to flush)



• Always carry toilet paper (you have to carry around your own or you are out of luck, wish they would have warned Leah and me)



• Tuk tuk's are a fun way to travel, and sometimes the only way!



• Don't touch the monks



• I LOVE fruit here especially pineapple. America just doesn’t do fruit justice.



• How to take a dip bath. Pour quickly or you just might freeze.



• That shower curtains do have a purpose. The showers here are just shower heads on the wall next to the toilet…so pretty much the bathroom is your shower and EVERYTHING gets wet.



• You’re weird if you don’t sweat, and by sweat I mean your whole body is dripping. I have never sweat so much in my life… the humidity here is crazy!



• Air conditioners are a wonderful gift from God. A gift we don’t get to experience quite often.



• I like driving on roads that are paved. Driving hours in old bus down a dirt road with lots of insane pot holes leads to much nausea.



• That rice is served with every meal, even breakfast and dessert. Glad I like rice!



• I love AGGIES! The Aggie group we spent this week with was AMAZING… I could go one forever about how much I love them!



• I miss clean streets. Not many trashcans or street cleaners. So pretty much just trash…everywhere.



• Don’t ask what’s in your food, you probably don’t want to know.



• It is smells horrible it’s probably not going to taste wonderful.



• Just because its looks disgusting doesn’t mean it tastes disgusting. (only most of the time)



• Keens are my new favorite shoes.



• I actually like living out of a backpack… I should try it more often. It’s a lot better than rolling around luggage.



• Mattresses are nice.



• Crickets are pretty tasty, roasted crickets actually. (well maybe not tasty, but not horrible)



• Pancakes just taste better here!



• Sometimes I wish I didn’t have a nose…walking through streets you smell all kinds of crazy stuff



• Never buy anything in America…again. North face backpack - $12, cute skirt $3, T-shirt $1. Everything is crazy cheap here.
