It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough, kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife

-Dead Kennedy's- In case you didn't know.

I'm reading up on Cambodia and Laos. 5 weeks until I'm packing my bags and then.... going going gone and back again! It looks stunning. What is it about a place that can make your heart beat faster? Do you have a place that calls you? A place where a deep sense of peace takes over you, a place where you realize everything is going to be alright, no-better than that- everything already is all right. Perfect even. South east asia does that for me.
I sometimes wonder if I'm running away. Away from life, away from here. Maybe. Who knows what I am looking for on these long journeys. A sense of purpose. The meaning of life... Or maybe just a bowl of hot steaming sticky rice with fried chili and chicken. Yes sirree!







Enjoy your weekend. xoxo

Ik wil gewoon eerst even kijken hoe het gaat, maar op mijn werk weten ze ervan dus het is geen probleem als ik eerder wegga. Ik ben alleen bang (gezien het feit dat ik nog in mijn proeftijd zit), dat ze me er zo uitschoppen, maar dat zullen we ook wel zien. Morgen iig voor het werk eerst even met mijn baas praten hierover.
Ik zal Robi zeker bellen, heb gezegd dat ik wel kwam werken zaterdag, maar donderdag zal ik even bellen of ik definitief kom. Jammer dat je ziek was afgelopen zaterdag, het was wel erg gezellig!

Dikke knuffel

The first thing I want to say when I read this is that I am so bloody jealous. How horrible of me! But at the same time I am so happy for you.. that I am so jealous means that I understand how ace this is for you (did you see how I turned a bad thing around just like that, haha). My friends went there too and loved it. Cambodia was pretty hard, they only went to see the killing fields and the remeniscence of the Pol Pot regime. And fuck I even cried over the photo's. And Laos.. so fucking beautiful. Angkor Wat.. oh my. Yes, in the end I am more happy for you then jealous. Also because next winter I will do the same, try to get away for 4 weeks (if possible) probably to Bali, Indonesia, but maybe not because a ticket to Indonesia is twice as expensive as one to Malaysia or Laos or Cambodia or South India or Nepal or one of those other places I would love to go.
How long are you going? And how did you manage to save that kind of money; again? My new tattoo will cost as much as a ticket.. but I don't have the possibility to leave this season anyway.
Lots of love!
