Not so bummed?

Chan mi quam sook, jing jing! (I'm happy, really!)
Just kidding! This Sunday *two days from now* I'm off to Aranyaphated, CAMBODIA! The trip is still on...Andrew and me went to go get our visas for Laos (thinking our trip to Cambodia was a for sure no) but decided to just stop by the embassy and ask how things really were on the other side of the border...just curious. Surprisingly while we were standing outside the gate waiting for it to open there were several other tourists there, a guy from Nigeria, a man from India, a pilot from Bali and a couple Thais! We were shocked! The guy from Nigeria lives in Bangkok and told me he was also just going over for his 'visa-run' too. When we talked to the embassy they basically just told us that the fighting was really centralized on the part of the border with the temple, there were no more problems (than normal) within the country and they didn't forsee any issues for tourists. Mai mi panhaa! (no problemo)! The fact that even Thai's were braving it and going over was super reassuring actually, we're still not completely confident enough to have Goi come though :/ Its probably better if just the tourists go...Americans are kinda known for being naive travelers (I think brave sounds better) apparently...and a good source of business. I guess that's the latest on THAT.
We said goodbye to our first Missionary headed back last night :( :( :( WOW! Have I been here that long?! The fact that we're starting to say goodbye to them already kinda hit me and it feels like we're leaving SO SOON! Sandrina is a German missionary teaching English at Tomburi, a really special church plant here in Bangkok. One of the churches with the largest and newest Thai attendance. It could be said its in the 'slums', but lots of people have said its one of the nicer slums around here. We had a surprise (sorta) gathering of her friends near the Mission here at Doug's house and had MEXICAN FOOD last night! Sanook mak (Super fun)!
