10 things I (Bren) love most about Cambodia
1. Smiles. Even if someone looks grumpy as soon as u smile at them their face lights up.
2. Fresh fruit stalls! Cut, peeled and fresh!
3. Fresh coconuts! For some serious hydration after a big night or anytime really.
4. Lotus flowers! Ponds, streams and polluted waterways are full of these beauties.
5. Bikes! Get to ride a motorcycle or be on the back of a moto every day without the need of a licence, registration or even a road worthy bike.
6. Kids! The cutest, most beautiful little beings. 30 percent of the population of Cambodia is under 12. The children of this country are it's future.
7. Family! We are so blessed to have a khmer family that has adopted us as we have them. They provide us with love, support, friendship and fun, away from our own people at home.
8. Adventure! Everyday provides an opportunity to see, smell or taste something that you could never had imagined.
9. Cheap, cheap! The cost of living is so small. Your not paying any big bu****it taxes to the government for every day items.
10. Mountain View Veterans Retreat! We have been able to buy land and start a project that would have been impossible to do in Australia without a million bucks. It has mountains, a fresh water stream, a natural swimming pool, native wildlife and plants, the ocean close by and most importantly, no neighbors!
