Do I belong with you ?

I know that it has been quite a long time since my last post, but I didn't had much to say or didn't wanted to.

Being in Phnom Penh for 5 months now, I feel like this place is starting to absorb me, in all the possible meanings this word can have. I feel more comfortable and start to have my marks in this city. I love Phnom Penh for its freshness, its promises, and the lovely people I've met here. I can picture myself living in my own apartment, riding a moto to work, or having evening drinks with friends at the riverside; but I also feel exhausted and bridled sometimes. I'm still wondering if I could possibly belong here (meanwhile humming myself Sweet child O'mine last verse hahaha). I want to extend my stay a little bit longer, but I have to leave for school reasons. Of course I can always come back and I have plenty of reasons to do so. In fact it's a good thing that I have to go home. This will allow me to think about what will my project be if I want to move here and prepare myself if I decide to give it a try.

To sum up, it has been all except a love at first sight, but we all know that many stories begin with that ambivalent love-hate feeling ;).
