I think tomorrow, I'd like to walk around town for a few hours with a camera to show you what sorts of stuff I look at every day. Some of it might be very different and third-world looking. Other things might be eerily close to home. But it depends on whether or not I get another spell where I just want to lie in bed with my eyes closed and my body aching, like I did today.
You know what else I'd like to do? Take some karate classes. I am seriously aware that it's only a matter of time before someone tries to rob or attack me. Also, I saw some asshole abusing a woman last night, and there was really nothing I could do. This must change.
You know what else I'd like? A motorbike. I plan to buy one, eventually...but it'll be so nice to be able to go places quickly, or without having to argue the cost or just walking along with every moto- and tuk tuk driver in the city trying to solicit my patronage. I'm trying to save money for this.
You know what else? I'd like to rearrange the planet so that Washington DC is right next to Phnom Penh. The only thing that would make my life more perfect here (besides an end to dengue-fever-bearing mosquitos) would be if Washington DC were on the other side of the river. Also, that you had to ride a balloon to get there.
These are my grand dreams. I hope one day to realize them.
Even just a dream, it makes me excited with its possibilities already!!!
