Cambodia diary, Days 18-19

4:33 a.m. EST | 3:34 p.m. local time | 5-22-16 Brown Coffee it is. I’ve already had quite a whirlwind of a day today … but first! Let me unpack yesterday. After scrambling back to the Khmer Surin for a 2 p.m. architecture tour, I hopped in another van and headed off for a view …

Cambodia diary, Days 16-18

7:58 p.m. EST | 6:58 a.m. local time | 5-20-16 This post should really be titled “why I’m thankful for journalism.” I know, I like to glorify the fact that I “made a mistake” and have found more satisfaction in customizing my own major than in pursuing just-straight journalism school for four years – that …

Cambodia diary, Days 9-11

10:25 p.m. EST | 9:35 a.m. local time | 5-14-16 It’s now Day 10 – but Day 9 was so stuffed with activities that I couldn’t possibly take the time to write any of it down. But now, with a seat by the pool and the sound of rippling water, I can tell the story …

Cambodia diary, Days 5-8

8:04 p.m. EST | 7:04 a.m. local time | 5-9-16 Yesterday, I experienced a new sensation for the first time: I was the minority. In a city as populated as Phnom Penh, there are mostly Cambodians. AKA there are very few white people. The first 2 days I didn’t really notice the stares, for with …

Cambodia diary, Days 1-4

9:29 a.m. EST | 6:29 a.m. PST | 5-5-16 I spy the Colorado It is still blue-black ink For now. I wonder how long it will stay – Like me. 2:10 p.m. EST | 11:10 a.m. PST | 5-5-16 We are waiting in LAX after our 6:44 a.m. EST flight landed (on time!) in Los …
