So it may come as a surprise to many of you that I'm flying back today, Monday March 1st. It's strange. Even though I didn't end up doing what I had planned to do here in Asia, I answered the questions that I came here to answer.

I came to Asia, with the intent of doing volunteer work in Cambodia, to find out whether or not I should go get a degree in international development and/or humanitarian assistance. And the answer is no. Cambodia is a beautiful country, and I definitely plan on returning and visiting again. I feel like a chicken, but all I needed was to be in Cambodia for a week to know that working in a place like that was not for me. I think it was a combination of factors, the strictness of traditional gender roles, the instability of the government, and the scary sense that comes from knowing that if you get hurt in Cambodia, the nearest hospital you should even consider going to is in Bangkok.

Plus I've spent a TON more money than I anticipated. So I need to go back to NYC and find a job while I can still afford my rent!

But anyways, please keep checking back here. I have a bunch of journal entries I've been working on that are not quite ready to be published, but soon will be when I finish them. Also, I WILL be posting pictures once I get them developed at home.
