Cambodia reverie..


″A traveler without observation is a bird without wings.” – Moslih Eddin Saadi

“We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us”.-Marcel Proust

Cambodia is a place of wonder. If you know how to see things with open heart than you can truly feel its charms. For some it might be lacking comparing to others countries but it is how you made of things will determine how good it will be to you. If the purpose of you coming here just to endure it, finish up your internship period, get a good grade then move on, Cambodia might not really suits you. You might just as well as doing your internship in Malaysia but if you want to learn through some amazing experience this is totally the right place. Cambodia can be a good teacher if you let it be. It teaches you not to take things for granted, how to see good in everything that you seem as bad and also patience. When coming here you should open up your minds to everything. To the people who is terrible in English but never mocked our attempted in bad Khmer, to the usual mode of travelling, motodup and tuk tuk that makes you vulnerable to dust and dirts but it reveals you the Cambodia that can never be seen through the interior of air-conditioned vehicle, and to their food (just try the halal one please) which might seem weird but is a taste you never had before. Leave all your arrogance thinking of Malaysia is a better place and you might be humbled of what Cambodia can teach you. So once you are here, greet everything with a smile and positive attitude and Cambodia can be a quite fun place to live. This is just a little piece of mind I would like to share with you and I hope your journey to Cambodia will teach you as much as it taught me. Till next time.Bye.
