Goodbye Phnom Penh

On the work front, we've come to do what we intended to do. Lots of effort has been put in to complete this event. That's been done properly. The meetings have been productive.

On a personal note, I've concluded fruitful discussions that seem to take forever to do over emails. Projects have gotten off the ground and to a good start. That is the depth of my commitment. I'm not based in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, so it'd be difficult to see it through. May it sustain through the efforts of other volunteers.

Now, there's more work to be done at the office and handover to be done for the side projects. I must return to share the load.

Very glad that I slept so little on this trip so that more time could be spent with the friends checking out the cool spots in the city. Thrilled that I snucked away from the colleagues too. Wahahaha. On every work trip, I've a really 'bad' habit of sneaking off elsewhere afterhours. Time alone does enrich one's perception of a city. No matter how rough a destination is, it doesn't quite trouble me. (See, tell your daughers to acquire self-defense skills.) Of course I don't stupidly walk into dark alleys either. Anyway, I had a great time. This city is really best discovered on foot.

So now, it's time to say goodbye to Phnom Penh.
