Expat Talks About How Adjusting to Life in Phnom Penh Has Been Hard for Her (Travel Lush)

Post by General Mackevili »

Adjusting to life in Phnom Penh has been harder than I thought, but I can’t really put my finger on why.  I still love this city just as much as I ever have.  But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I keep finding myself daydreaming about living near the beach, yearning for colder weather and wishing for peace and quiet.

There are a few reasons why I’ve been having a bit of a rough time.  Remember how I suffered from some sort of mysterious tropical malady/food poisoningafter traveling to Bangkok a couple months back?  Well, the sickness lingered for well over a month!

For the record, by simply sharing her blog, I'm not endorsing it. I thought she was boring as shit.

Serious question: why does every single American woman feel she has to create a travel blog? Is it something they learn in ICT at school?

Hi, I'm Justine! I'm a camera shy California native who just can't stop indulging in all things travel. I seem to have a knack for taking the road less traveled in life, which I argue is far more exciting than being "normal." This blog is all about my (mis)adventures as I navigate life as a newbie expat in Southeast Asia, and, of course, I kinda like to talk about travel too!
"LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! DAMMIT I'M ENTITLED AND IF YOU DON'T LOOK AT ME THEN YOU'RE A SEXIST BIGOT! Oh, but I'm camera shy and 15 months in Cambodia has been difficult. Poor me!"

Fuckoff back to California, moron!

Oops. Was that non-politically correct? :evil:
I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.
