Greetings everyone, I'm here to show you what life is like living in a village - the natural atmosphere, but also we should talk about some of the necessities. How's your day going? I hope it's been fabulous! It seems like each day passes so quickly, making me unconscious how long it's been since I've seen the natural beauty of my village or caught up with friends.
Typically, Wednesday is usually my least busy day of the week. I've been advised to live in the present, not worrying about what lies ahead. Although, I can't quite keep this mentality 100%. I'm hopeful that things will improve over time and confidently believe that no matter what happens, there is always a solution.
To everyone dealing with their own issues, remember that you are not alone and to always treat yourself with love and care.
Living in village life is quite reasonable, for we think of the inexpensive and affordable goods, fruits and veggies. People make friends easily here in our village - they are my friends, a group of them are waiting for their husbands who also work closely to their house.
Some of their husbands make a fishing business in order to support the child in their studying as well as the demand for life, while others people also grow vegetables to sell at the local market.
I recall the day I first arrived here, when my friend's pet owner said their dog was so dangerous that it would attack strangers and end up biting them.
Following advice from the neighborhood, they chained the dog next to a tree whenever guests came to visit, and only let him out during the night time to alert them of any potential thieves.
I was looking forward to the salad garden when I stumbled upon two little girls who were kids of my friends. The kids here does my childhood thing. Watching them, the ways they speak and do the action triggered memories of my childhood - playing with friends without any internet devices, talking and joking with each other, telling stories and playing games together.
When I was a child, I had lots of friends in the neighborhood and from school, but now only a few relationships remain.
The kids here are so kind, always putting a smile on their faces when I pass by. They often try to approach me and greet me since I normally bring them snacks. Unfortunately, today I don't have any candy or other snacks for them. I feel like should move here and going to the lake, watching people fishing and kids swimming with their friends would be great.
From day to day, there was so much to do in the city, but if I wanted some peace and quiet, I had to come here and observe the locals tending their crops, bathing their children, watering plants, and fishing in the lake.
Sadly, today I noticed they are also producing pollution through burning their waste instead of disposing of it properly. I'm not sure if you have seen this kind of activity before, but in Cambodia I've seen more and more people doing this burning activity thinking like it's normal life. These actions can have a negative impact on nature and the environment but unfortunately many people don't think about that.
He was attempting to put the fire out and opted to hit the wood instead of using water, because water is scarce in this area and can be hard to come by. Unfortunately, his plans didn't turn out as expected when his child walked towards him and added more household waste to the fire, making it bigger than before.
