It was 4am, when both our mobile phone alarms went off simultaneously. I managed to grab mine and switch it off. Nan was still sleeping so I tried to shake her awake. She finally came too, sat up in bed, yawned, smiled at me and promptly fell back onto her pillow again. She wanted more […]

In the car were myself, Nan and two of her aunts. And they were all chattering away in Khmer […]

We got some food into ourselves, and managed to relax a little bit in the afternoon. When it suddenly dawned on me that my folks would probably appreciate to be notified that their first born son was about to get married.
If I was scared out of my mind when I asked Mae for permission to […]

After consuming a delicious breakfast consisting of omelet, rice and some pork, I was sitting there and watching Nan as she fluttered around the place, singing some happy song, and looking very content. The kids where getting ready to go to school, so she was fuzzing over them a bit, making sure their uniforms where […]

Next stop was a small […]
