		<title>Back in the &#8216;bodge&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monnnnnnnnsssssssooooooooooooooooooooonn! The rain pounding my tin roof is deafening and drowns out all the other city-center sounds I am usually surrounded by. It’s actually a welcome relief, though makes listening to music or talking on the phone nearly impossible. My cheaply built illegal apartment is full of cracks and gaps that let water in. Not [...]]]></description>

		<title>8 months!?!?!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time, whoa. I don&#8217;t even know have I&#8217;ve been here for 8 months without posting anything. I guess&#8230; work got super duper intense and was all I could think about, yet couldn&#8217;t write about. Still don&#8217;t feel safe enough to, really&#8230; articulate the crazing that went down. Then I transitioned out of my job, then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rooftop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been almost a month since my last post&#8230; What happened? Life. Life happened in a big way. Establishing new routines, language classes, new friendships, work. Ah yes, work. So much I want to say, to write about. When I stand on our rooftop, I am filled with an enormous sense of peace and calm. [...]]]></description>

		<title>one month and counting&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We met at Korsang at 6:30 am to take a tuk tuk to “Russian hospital” (the commonly used name for the Khmer Soviet Friendship Hospital). It is here that the new methadone clinic will be located, on the first floor of the Mental Health building. There are 7 of us from Korsang who will be [...]]]></description>

		<title>a 12.5 cent reminder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As some of you know, I have been professing my love of all things coconut to anyone who will listen or is within earshot (or reading my FB status updates). Today at work, during one such episode, one of my new colleagues said – “well then, have you tried the new coconut shakes? If you [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Story of a Korsang Peer Educator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just came across this story in one of Korsang&#8217;s grant requests. (Korsang is the organization I moved to Cambodia to work for.) It really captures the heart and spirit of Korang. As many know, one of Korsang&#8217;s long time peer educators, Sok Mop, was HIV+ and needed a kidney transplant. I am sorry to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Motos and tuk tuks &#8211; essential elements of Cambodian Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite being mildly annoyed at times with the near-constant shouts of “Hello Tuk tuk Lady!” (I am not a tuk tuk!) or “You Sir! Hello! Motobike!” (I am not a Sir!) that follow me around wherever I walk – I am still consistently amazed by the vehicles that are the mainstay of daily life here [...]]]></description>

		<title>Funny, funny barang lady&#8230; all eyes on me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn’t know how funny I was until I moved to Phnom Penh. It seems that everything I do is humourous to all. I’m sure this will be a theme of many posts, but for now… The perils of walking: Barang lady walking down the street – funny. Most people don’t walk here… understandably, it’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Pink Palace: a palatial size, and palatial amount of work!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday marked three weeks since we moved to Cambodia. We found the Pink Palace the day after our arrival (see 17 reasons&#8230; for more details). It really was a fixer upper, more so than we let on (or even knew at first). But we were looking at the potential, and the sheer funkiness of it, [...]]]></description>
