So I always thought David Bowie sang “Time to face the change, ch-ch-changes”, but it turns out the lyrics are “Turn and face the strange”. Equally applicable in this case, because that is what we have been doing!
There have been ch-ch-changes aplenty!
We’ve packed up our house and family, left one city (goodbye Wellington), sojourned in another to farewell friends and family for 3 weeks (goodbye Christchurch), and finally took 3 planes and a truck to land us here, in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, our home for the next 3 months or so. After that we’ll be heading north to Siem Reap and then finally back to Sihanoukville. Estimated time of residency in Cambodia – 9 months, subject to change 🙂
For why, you might ask? Many reasons, the simplest being that K was asked to come over and help build two multi-purpose church buildings, one in Sihanoukville, one in Siem Reap. But also, hello old home, hello cultural immersion, hello family and cousins we barely know.
The purpose of this blog is simply to keep those who are interested abreast of our movements and building developments. It might be interesting, it might not be, but you’re welcome to have a mosey around. There’s probably some sort of place you can subscribe to receive notification when I post, so if that’s of interest to you then fire away. Feel free to leave any comments or questions… I love me a bit of friendly interaction 🙂
