Leaving the Thom

I've gone!! Kompong Thom is now no longer my home, and I'm not sure if I'll ever get back there again. My last week was spent packing, throwing out and giving away my things; I had accumulated an amazing amount of "stuff" over the last two years.

Two recent Barang arrivals to Kompong Thom took a lot of my big things by motorbike truck to their house.

I've been round the town saying goodbye to many friends, including the family who run the internet shop where I spent so many (often frustrating ) hours. On my last night, I gave away small possessions to the waiting staff at the Arunras restaurant, where the staff had treated me like one of the family for so long.
My friend Rachel came for the weekend to give a hand, and she helped to keep me sane with all the Cambodian beating of chests going on around me! The CoDeC staff threw a second leaving party for me, and a delegation came to my house to escort me to the bus stop on my last morning.

Now I'm left wondering if the last two years really happened!
