Today I start dismantling my room in preparation of leaving Siem Reap. Over the past 12 weeks I've collected a few odds and ends, bits and pieces that I've saved. I started putting them on top of my T.V., to hide the thing and it's turned into quite a lovely shrine.
There are:
Seeds from jackfruit, longuns, custard apple and mangosteens
A rose that I received from a friend
Flowers that I used to decorate my hair one day
A paper boat from the day we made origami boats in class
A drawing of balloons that one of my students did
A shell from Sihanoukville
My name, written in Khmer
Packing up my room here is almost as bittersweet as packing up my room back home was. :P
