Random things that make us feel like we’ve made progress:
- Getting a tuk into town
- Paying a semi-fair price for a tuk ride or anything for that matter
- Finding our way around the city to specific areas/shops
- Accomplishing almost everything on our ‘to-do’ list
- Studying Khmer
- Learning to relax
- Finding Coke Light (that may just be me)
- Purchasing materials to teach English
- Communicating with even a very few Khmer words (emphasis on the very)
- Getting a tuk home (with clear directions to where we live)
- Catching people on skype or facebook and getting to talk to them
Random things we do that make us laugh:
- Attempting to use new Khmer words we’ve learned
- Linking arms to cross the street (we feel safer that way)
- Dodging traffic on the sidewalk
- Getting sleepy enough to go to bed before 10 pm
- Waking up before our alarms go off at 6 am
- Only having to charge our phones once a week
- Realizing that almost everywhere we’re the loud ones… we’ll work on it
- Having entire conversations via facebook posts with our family and friends
- Being here and absolutely loving it

my personal fave linking arms to cross street to feeel safer, if you've never been on street corner in PP with 50 motorcycles at every corner all moving at same time you might not see the picture of this quite so vividly. i think you are just playing red rover with the motorcycles. :)*
