an awkward process

just got an email from my brother titled 'leaving is mental'...indeed it is bro.

when you are a kid wherever you grow up its always the first place you want to leave. fact. ive found the older you get (not that im old) and the longer you spend away from that place the more it becomes the only place you want to be. except for me its not about a place but about the people. the only reason i want to be in that place is because that places is where those people are.

well it seems like the entire expat community is leaving cambodia in the next cuple of months. almost all the foreigners from our church are leaving for different lengths of time. and already a few people have left so we are all getting used to saying goodbye to people. as im sure most of you know this can be an awkward process if you dont know the person that well.

i went out for a drink with my friend isaac last night who i havent seen in about 2 months, it was patentially incredibly awkward but fortunately he brought a friend so we shared the responsibility of starting and holding converstion.

off to the beach on sunday, will be nice not to have anything to do but sit, read and drink beer on the sand for a few days.

Ben.
