It's almost 7am and here I am wide awake.... thought I might have gotten over the jetlag when I slept from 1am till 4pm but I guess not.
Anyways, I am back!! It has been a good trip... not great because as most of you know, Joey had appendicitis on our last day in Cambodia before going to Vietnam overland, and had to be evacuated to Thailand for surgery. Stressful day because I had to deal with insurance company to see whether they will pay for the evacuation... took them bloody 6 hrs to say yes. Can you believe the evacuation cost more than the surgery itself? And the insurance company haven't even agreed to pay a penny for the surgery yet.... now that I'm back I get to deal with all of that too!!! Woohoo!!!!
Overall, the sites and places I've been too have been a lot better than last year. I'm talking about Ankor Wat, Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Museum in Cambodia... as for Vietnam it was getting to Ho Chi Minh in the flesh and the garment factories.
现在是大概差不多早上七点,刚起来, 不想睡的。 我回来的第一天晚上, 就是这边的星期天晚上,从一点睡到第二天的下午四点呢!因为我睡了一整个晚上,我想说我已经没有时差了。想得太好了, 今天睡得少。。我今天还要上班呢。 我的朋友问我可不可以帮他上他的班。
今年出国我感觉比去年没有那么好玩。 那是因为有压力 (压是个简体字,看得懂吧?),弟弟在高棉生病的时候,在高棉的医院等了一整天,等保险公司说要不要帮我付飞机钱,从那边到泰国。 为了这个,我们到晚上八点才坐上飞机,到了泰国就马上开到了。
除了这事情,我感觉今年看的东西比去年看得比较有意思。 今年看的古迹比较有意思而也欣赏。
我妈还没有回来的时候问我说看可不可以把电脑弄说可以打台湾用的中国字,我是说没办法,除了说把整个电脑都弄成中文。 这样的话我电脑就看不懂了,而也不能用拼音。 我跟我妈在去一些中国店问一问吧。 我也感觉说台湾用的中国字比较好看呢!
舅妈,我这次回台湾有加了三到四镑! 好可怕。 没关系,我们吃的牛排太好吃了,比北美的牛排还好吃呢, 又便宜!台湾吃得太好了。
Hope you get over the jet lag soon. I actually updated my blog Jay, so there, be happy!

今年出國肯定讓你刻骨銘心,永難忘懷吧!阿姨佩服不已,身處異鄉能臨危不亂,處變不驚,值得大家鼓掌與效仿.
你好像很喜歡四處參觀歷史古蹟,不錯呢!除了能增廣見聞亦能雲遊四海,阿姨以為外國環境長大的年輕人,較喜歡喜哈一族.
你媽媽肯定手很癢,想與我們姊妹聊天,因她蠻有情的,讓阿姨想起之前她在板橋工作時,可是非常照顧阿姨的,代阿姨跟媽媽說聲謝謝!我回想起心裡還很窩心呢!(收到你媽媽8/13的email,阿姨慢慢才回,因為是一項挑戰--english letter)
牛排:黑胡椒.菲力的.牛柳的...配上各式各樣的沙拉,再來杯 ice-`cream簡直是棒呆了,阿姨流口水了,你呢?
Thank you for the beautiful photographs. I've always longed to visit Angkor Wat, but that's impossible for me. So next best is pictures, which are magnificent. It's impossible to reconcile such beauty with the character of Kmer Rouge.
