I've stayed in Siem Reap longer than planned because I'm more comfortable than I thought.  But that's only because I'm not really seeing Cambodia.  I'm kind of scared of it.  Luckily, I've made a friend.  Brendan from Ireland has been my travel buddy ... Read more >

Right now CWF is on the one week mid semmester break. It's hard to believe that my commitment with CWF is halfway over. I am still working out what I will do when I am finished with CWF but I will get to that later. I decided to spend my week break ... Read more >
