14 days, 9 hours and 30 minutes...!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!
It seems that it's only just now becoming a reality. I'd like to say that I'm nervous, but I'm really not all that nervous... nor anxious. I actually more nervous about being away from the office for a month more than I am about Thailand. Cambodia is a different story though. Not too sure about that one. Not sure why... I think it's because, in Thailand, there is an established backpack culture. Thailand is a "safe" travelling country. Cambodia is... ... ... more "wild wild west". Also while in Cambodia, I'm probably going to see and visit some of the more intense things I've ever seen. Angkor Wat, will blow my mind in a "spiritual" awe-inspiring way, but visiting, Choung Ek and Tuol Sleng (the Killing Fields) will probably be one of the most intense and "humanising" experiences ever. Now you might ask why would I go visit such an intense and crazy place? My answer would be; how could I not? I can't just waltz in and take the good of Angkor and then merrily skip my way back to Thailand... that's not visiting the real Cambodia. It would be like I was closing my eyes and ignoring what had happened. That's not being fair to the Cambodian people. In my mind it would be like I was condoning all present and future genocides.... such as Darfur. It would be like pretending that human horror and tragedy don't exist....
ok.. enough heavy stuff....

Tokyo should be fun... I must admit, I'm kind of stressing about Tokyo as well. I think it's because I only have 24 hours... but I'm sure it's going to be a blast.
