What a fun Friday night! 4 of us took the staff van into the city at the end of the day, and met up with our other guy Andrew who was already in town. We met at a sort of public square per se - people were doing jazzercise and playing makeshift pickup games of badmitten and soccer – it was too cute. Unlike our potential plan for pizza, we ended up going for Indian cuisine. It was in what I would have considered an ally, full of motos and tuk tuks, but there were cute hotels, guest houses, and shops. We ordered 4 dishes - lentils, eggplant, fried cheese, and potatoes - discussed life, politics and political atmosphere, organ donation, drivers licenses, and watched some Cricket on TV in honor of our friend Rob from Australia.

We had a little time to kill until meeting up with Rob, so we ran some errands, drove past Olympic Stadium, and stopped by a bakery. Even after a long absense away from sweets, the consensus was that everything looked much better than it tasted. We contemplated massages, but decided it was going to take us a while to find Rob anyway, so we headed for Monivong Blvd.

His flat was also back an ally, but super-cute. His roommates just finished their teaching term at a prosthetics school, and they and a few friends were getting ready to leave and travel. They were all super friendly, and all a little bizarre in some way – but hey, maybe we all are :) It was so good to talk to other 20-somethings led to travel. We've concluded that other nationalities travel so much more than Americans - they like history and adventure, whereas Americans may just like.. comfort and relaxation?

There is so much more to people than where they live or what they look like. As diverse as that balcony was tonight, I truly we all want the best for people and understand there's more to life than climbing the ladder.
Very cool night.
