BACK TO SHCOOL ISSUE
“
PARIS vs PHNOM PENH ”
Woke up in the morning, not a sound at my window.
Monks, street vendors and tuktuks, how I miss you!
Got expensive and bad lunch at the supermarket.
Ming’s bai cha, how I miss you!
Time to go - Scarf, coat and hat on my head.
Cambodian sun, how I miss you!
Went back and sat on my chair all day, waiting for
the evening.
Afternoon fruit snack, how I miss you!
Dived into the subway, surrounded by people.
Joy of driving alone to work on my scooter, how I
miss you!
Took the subway again, it was crowded as usual.
Evening traffic jams on Norodom’s, how I miss you!
Arrived at the office, talked to no one.
Smiling colleagues, and morning good mood, how
I miss you!
Arrived home.
Same person was waiting for me, no need to miss
anything here!
