Well, what can I say but in Cambodia, I very often encounter the sceneries that takes my breath away.
Of course very much often it takes my breath away with another reason as well. Such as the site like this “low-rider-van-with-heavy-load-of-eggs-driving-bumpy road”. As they load more eggs, it lower the van and there will be more broken eggs. You see this great logic?
Well but anyway. Life in Siem Reap of course is different as a life in Japan or U.S. where you can have anything you want. But living in the place where world heritage monuments are scattered around my house is actually quite valuable.
I can visit Angkor wat ruins with inexpensive but great tasted red wine and foie gras that I buy from a french restaurant close to my house and on the way to there, I see gorgeous site of rice terrace with sun shining down. Then I say to myself “how beautiful Cambodia today as well” then I go back to my house seeing magnificent sunset view. I don’t know what you say but I can say this life is “very rich” in a different level as we live in Tokyo or New york or Paris.
Sometime people ask me if I’m ever going back to Japan or live in Cambodia rest of my life. But in fact, I have no idea. I don’t think I will live in Cambodia for good. However I don’t think I’m going back to Japan either. Ideally I will be living in the new place where I can feel new level of “rich”ness that are different as I felt in Japan or Cambodia.
Um… but for now I just want that wine and cheese picnic basket I saw on Amazon.
