A Kenyan in Cambodia

So today was the official mourning day after the terrible stampede, and the mood is different here in Cambodia...well in Phnom Penh..well in my neighbourhood atleast. The Cambodians have a funny way of expressing themselves..they laugh at anything and everything (or am I the only one who has noticed this?) and I talked to some people,you know just to see their take on that many people dieing..and i was kinda surprised that some of them still used jokes to express their feelings.Well am sure i could detect some sadness in their voices so that's ok.  Now,one thing you need to know about Cambodians is that they are very,very,very superstitious people.When it comes to spirits,ghosts,death...trust me..its ridiculous.Since the stampede there have been stories and rumors allover.Some flayers have been photocopied and are being circulated everywhere...it's times like these i wish i could read Khmer. Today morning as i left my apartment to go to work,i noticed that my driver's m...

 Hey everyone,well i promised I was going to update you after experiencing the crazy Water Festival!!Well i have good news and bad news... The good news is...... This weekend has been magical!!like seriously i have had enough fun to last me a decade..My friends and i went down to the riverside to check out the huge crowds and to watch the boat races and oh yeah how can i forget the fireworks...it was amazing!!One of our friends has an amazing apartment at the riverfront and we all just hang out watching the events unfold from the balcony,it was really cool,especially when one of my Angolan friend and i just started waving at random Cambodians passing by...hahahaha that was goood.Most of them came from the villages and had never ever seen black people..so we gave them a story to take back home "We saw black people!!!and them black people are crazy...they were smiling and waving at us." "Did the black people have fingers like us??" "ummm am not so sure..you k...

Hey y'all,I have no idea what I want to write and i have already used the title Random before...so clearly am out of another cool title!!Oh well...so i have nothing in particular to talk about but yeah i just thought to check in lol.I have been enjoying myself at work really..which is kinda a weird feeling because in my other place of work i was just used to stress,deadlines and policies that did not make sense,designed specifically to make sure you had the worst time ever at work!!Wow am so liking my new job,relaxed and very very nice.My only problem at the moment is this annoying co worker i have..arrrgh!!its like someone please shoot him!!(Well that's a little strong..but seriously..)anyway ill figure out how to deal with him but in the meantime my mission is ignore him until further notice!! Ok so in Cambodia there is this very big and important festival called Water Festival...ooh its soo good because we get like 3days off work and that is just excellent!!!They hav...

 Hey everyone.Its been a long long time since my last post..i just kinda got too lazy to write..plus av been busy with work and stuff. So i have been feeling kind of down lately and yesterday i was rally sad for most part of the day.So there is this colleague of mine who will be travelling soon and so we decided to get together and just hang out for the last time probably.We all go to this place in Cambodia called Lakeside(well there is a lake so..)and its a really cool place and all the backpackers stay there because they have some cheap guesthouses (and weed).We are sitting around talking and just having fun,there was like 11 of us, and we realise that we all actually come from different places(i like it when that happens..am always representing Africa!!!)and it was so cool,really diverse..Kenyan,Brazilian,Australians,Irish,Americans,Dutch..it was really interesting.So this guy called Josh was probably the most interesting...you will know why in a minute.  One thing you sh...
