The family and I have been feeling a bit nostalgic for Cambodia lately, so I thought I would share two particular stories that made me realize I had to give my heart to this country.
The stories I share in this video are beautiful by my definition, but not exactly heartwarming. I am not your average guy, and I enjoy the social aspects and human beings I meet while living in a foreign country much more than the scenery or places to visit.
I hesitate to call myself a world traveler, cause I've only ever worked as a migrant in foreign countries, never traveling far from home on the weekends. This has never bothered me though, because when humans are what you're traveling to see, you never have to go far.
Two of the first and most memorable Cambodian sights I still have burned into my memory are the the child-like play of a security guard and his friend, and a very casual and somewhat injury-free 1:00am solo motorcycle crash that I saw unfold.
It was actually the fellow Cambodian witnesses to these events and their total lack of interest that made me realize Cambodia and its people are mystical, and that I need to spend however many years it takes to figure out what makes them tick, and what drives them. This is at the essence of human existence and curiosity, and a good sense of humor goes a long way.
