Katie in Cambodia: June 2009
http://katieincambodia.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Two Months in Cambodia! This week marks two months since I packed my life into two 50 lb. suitcases (as well as a compact carryon and a computer bag) and moved to Cambodia. One forth of my stint here has already passed by! So, how am I doing? How is life in Cambodia? I am doing very well! And I am really enjoying life here on the other side of the world! I do feel homesick occasionally, but I've only cried myself to sleep one time! Fun friends at the Hope staff retreat in May].

Katie in Cambodia: July 2009
http://katieincambodia.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 23, 2009. A Day in My Life. Some friends have told me they really want to hear about my day to day life in Cambodia. Well, yesterday was such an interesting day that I'd like to share the whole thing with you! It's pretty detailed, so if you want the good part, skip to the afternoon! Here is the story of Wednesday, July 22, 2009:. Call the volunteers coming back to Phnom Penh to see what time they might arrive. Work on balancing a cash advance for the ESL program. Talk with Ashley, our ESL...

Katie in Cambodia: April 2009
http://katieincambodia.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 26, 2009. Let the Adventure Begin! This is my 4. Day in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I'm still in the process of overcoming jetlag. I'm adjusting to the heat (or at least learning to live with it). I'm learning about the city and I'm proud to say that I can find where I am on the map! I know how to say "thank you" (akun), "no" (ah te), and "yes" (jaa); but honestly I haven't been focusing on language learning yet. That will come soon! The first few days in a new place come with lots of stories!

Katie in Cambodia: September 2009
http://katieincambodia.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 30, 2009. 6 Days in Vietnam: Arriving in Hanoi. Never in my life did I think, or dream, of coming here. Yet, here I am. Hanoi was beautiful. So green. So alive. So…different. Choosing Hanoi was kind of random. A couple of months ago I found a great deal on the discount airline, Air Asia. My roommate and travel buddy, Kerstin, and I made a quick decision and bought tickets that weekend before the deal expired. Then, we started to research Hanoi! Please let us in? After running around ...

Katie in Cambodia: I Ate a Cricket...and I Didn't Die
http://katieincambodia.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-ate-cricketand-i-didnt-die.html
Friday, November 13, 2009. I Ate a Cricket.and I Didn't Die. While I jumped at the chance to eat a fried spider. (Okay, I didn't exactly. I was much more opposed to eating another favorite treat in Cambodia: fried cricket. Just something about all of the little parts: legs, wings, head, skeleton- you can see them all (as pictured below)! Victor, for all of his maturity and blessing to the team, is very much a 12 year old kid- and he really wanted to eat some crickets! And I didn't die. :). Note: This pho...

Katie in Cambodia: Languages I Love
http://katieincambodia.blogspot.com/2009/10/languages-i-love.html
Monday, October 19, 2009. I really enjoy languages. The more I learn, the more I love them. But because I enjoyed discovering how novels in French communicate differently than novels in English; how individual words, when translated, take on whole new meanings; and that I am able to express myself in a totally different way in a foreign language. For many people it would be a no brainer- they would much rather spend a year in Italy than in France. But, I was ready for France! That I heard before! Usually...

Katie in Cambodia: From my plate...
http://katieincambodia.blogspot.com/2009/11/from-plate-of.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2009. I love food. And I like variety in my food choices. I've found some really great restaurants in Phnom Penh that have assisted me in need for different kinds of good food. I really do like Cambodia food, too, and get to have it fairly regularly at friends' houses and when I travel. And, thankfully, I don't tire of rice! Anyway, back to good food. I was looking through some of my photos from the past few weeks and realized I had photographed quite a variety of tasty treats!
