| PIC and I chilled out and watched the fireworks over the Independence Monument from our roof. |
In 1953, under the reign of the late King Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia declared independence from France. Cambodia's horrific and tragic past is well known, and I wish more people knew about all of the good and beautiful things that happen here everyday, and about Cambodia's optimistic future.
I feel so lucky to live in this country. Every day I see things that make me think about the way I approach my life, I get to talk to people who have a completely different past from my own, and I get to learn more about the intricacies of the culture of Cambodia. My friends and family in Canada keep asking me when I'm planning on moving 'home', and I just have to tell them that I'm so in love with where I'm living!
It's true: Cambodia, I love you.

Hey! We have been also celebrating the Independence day in Siem Reap, it was kinda fun and great experience. We moved out from Cambodia to Thailand. Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteGreat post :)
I can't keep up with you guys! I love how you're always on the go. And now you're not even in Thailand anymore...! On that note, I hope Europe is treating you well, Agness! Stoked to continue reading about your journey over there.
