August 27, 2015. Karaoke in Cambodia Same Same But Very Different. How much is it? We are trying to figure out the price of renting a private karaoke room known as KTV in Cambodia but so far, we’re not having much luck. So six dollars each or total? Okay Now we’re getting somewhere. The other Champs-Élysées…. Where the hell are we? 8220;What, we’re here to sing! Finally, we arrive at our room. Our escort pulls out a key and unlocks the door. Here Small room, he says proudly and ushers us in. He says loud...

Is Grad School For You? The Answer Depends on How Much You Hate Yourself | Chris Travels
https://christinepickering.wordpress.com/2015/10/16/is-grad-school-for-you-the-answer-depends-on-how-much-you-hate-yourself
October 16, 2015. Is Grad School For You? The Answer Depends on How Much You Hate Yourself. Just a few days ago, I handed in the last bit of paperwork required to complete my grad program in International Development. Upon dropping off this last package an employer evaluation into my supervisor’s in-tray, I felt like crying. A year of sleepless nights, endless assignments, group conflicts, and no income was officially coming to a close; now I can finally retake my life. From my personal experience and ke...

Visiting a Cambodian hair salon, or how I almost melted | Chris Travels
https://christinepickering.wordpress.com/2015/09/14/visiting-a-cambodian-hair-salon-or-how-i-almost-melted
September 14, 2015. Visiting a Cambodian hair salon, or how I almost melted. Cambodia hates my hair. I discovered this the second I got off the plane. As soon as I stepped into the 35-degree heat and 74% humidity, my hair exploded into a giant ball of frizz. The small elastic I’d been using to force my hair into something resembling a ponytail struggled to contain the unruly strands which were now fighting for their freedom. Elastic bands, bobby pins, extra-strong hair gel for men, hair spray. I’m at wor...

Fred, my friendly bathroom cockroach | Chris Travels
https://christinepickering.wordpress.com/2016/04/05/fred-my-friendly-bathroom-cockroach
April 5, 2016. Fred, my friendly bathroom cockroach. Fred lives in my bathroom. He’s quiet, sensitive, and doesn’t like lights or loud noises. He’s not a big fan of rapid movements, and he’s as antisocial as they come. Fred is a cockroach, hailing from Cambodia and existing apparently to add more colour to my nightly bathroom visits. A different Fred…. I discovered Fred for the first time a few days after I moved into my new apartment in Phnom Penh. My air conditioning had broken. Having likely anticipat...
