Things I will miss about Cambodia (no limit, no order):
• the silence of illiteracy (not speaking or understanding Khmer)
• banana bud
• losing the responsibility of housework
• funny Khmer sayings (“choose me,” “scrab,” “moto, lady?”)
• Rue Pasteur
• curry chicken rice soup
• the confidence of crossing the street
• Comme a la Maison
• tiny Thai limes (Khmer lemons)
• the transient joy of the Little Sprouts
• passion fruit cocktails
• fresh seafood
• the beach
Things I will not miss:
• litter, trash, poop, dirty air
• hearing “moto, lady?” and “tuk tuk, lady?” every five seconds
• Dude, the deformed rooster that lived at the internet café nextdoor
• sour-smelling laundry
• sleeping on double-knit polyester sheets
