2 Unforgettable Stories That Made Me Love Cambodia
▶️ Watch on 3Speak
The family and I have been feeling a bit nostalgic for Cambodia lately, so I thought I would share two particular stories that made me realize I had to give my heart to this country.
Hold Up, These Aren't Heartwarming Stories
The stories I share in this video are beautiful by my definition, but not exactly heartwarming. I am not your average guy, and I enjoy the social aspects and human beings I meet while living in a foreign country much more than the scenery or places to visit.
I hesitate to call myself a world traveler, cause I've only ever worked as a migrant in foreign countries, never traveling far from home on the weekends. This has never bothered me though, because when humans are what you're traveling to see, you never have to go far.
Two of the first and most memorable Cambodian sights I still have burned into my memory are the the child-like play of a security guard and his friend, and a very casual and somewhat injury-free 1:00am solo motorcycle crash that I saw unfold.
It was actually the fellow Cambodian witnesses to these events and their total lack of interest that made me realize Cambodia and its people are mystical, and that I need to spend however many years it takes to figure out what makes them tick, and what drives them. This is at the essence of human existence and curiosity, and a good sense of humor goes a long way.
🙏 THANKS FOR READING/WATCHING 🙏

Hope you guys can get back there one day.
That desire to go back has caused us so much suffering and stress, and that is why we are trying to change our vision to make a life in a new country, which is likely going to be Albania. I just hope all these experiences give our daughters great resolve to create a world different than the one my generation is responsible for handing them. !ENGAGE 5
Lovely anecdotes @justinparke haha that security guard!
Thank you for sharing these with us.
I totally hear you about the pain of wanting to go back to the place that feels like home.
If I could go back to Sark or my land in Spain I would in a heartbeat. I agree though, that sometimes you have to change your mindset and allow what the universe has in store for you and your family.
Now that I am making a life here in the UK it is certainly becoming easier.
Hope that your dreams and aspirations manifest for you and the family soon.
Sending you guys hugs 🤗 💚🙏
For me it's all about the humans these days, and beautiful scenery is just an added bonus. We have certainly had to change our mindset to adapt to life here in Suriname. Give thanks for the kind words, we remain hopeful. !ENGAGE 40
ENGAGEtoday.ENGAGEtokens.You have fun stories a lot in your life B. We will come back to Cambodia someday and we will be happy again. !wine

ENGAGEtoday.Man this is awesome and very good
Inspires me a Lot to share some histories of My travelings too.
I think that if You are in a place in a present time is because a mission and a learning experiences. So maybe your future is in europe but all of your memories and travels make that awesome visión to share with others in the university of life. So, some people are blessed with that kind of experiences and is an amazing for develop a strong soul with better karma and restored energy, so, the presente reality matters cause we are in this tome in a mission, l can fight against nostalgy with that thoughs in my mind. I make The present times valuable cause I need to become a part of a change and helps others in My comunity for changes theirs life in a good way (if I can do it) so, we have an amazing oportunity to give our Beats energy to others in a new land, New people and places (or maybe same old people that we met in past lifes).
Blessings

I upload a vídeo about a ritual that i Made with sacred plants Yesterday. And i Made a 25 English Speaking vídeo in a tutorial for everyone in the world could do that ritual. Is sacred from here and i was teached in the past for chamans here for cleans souls and open paths. I cannot upload the 25 vídeo in 3speaks cause My Internet conexión here is imposible (the dictatorial goverment here control the Internet so was soooo slow - i spend more than 52 hours for upload a single vídeo sometimes. So... In this post i upload a 1 minute reference vídeo in 3speak but the 25 mins vídeo is in Youtube (i put the link in the same post) i really wanna share this ritual beyond the blockchain platform. I wanna that a Lot of ppl knows about heal theirs own souls with this post. I don't care about money or votes in this post only yo share the info (here in Venezuela by the way Youtube videos don't monetize never, cause we have a restriction (same with spotify too.) Blessings and take care My friend
ENGAGEtokens.Totally get it! Great video. Enjoyed it a lot. I love the way people in this part of the world walk through life with ease. Where we are from, everything feels so black and white, right or wrong, serious, and proper, compared to how things are here. I feel like it's a very up-tight worrisome vibe back home. You really feel it after you've been out of the the US for a while then visit.
I remember when the police showed up at a house party I was at in Vilcabamba Ecuador one time. They were on duty and in full uniform. It's like 11pm at night with salsa music blasting, weed being smoked and everything. It turned out they came just to hang out and have a beer! Small town, the police probably had three different cousins and a sister at the party.
You have me thinking why I'm not posting to threespeak. I gotta get on that. I even met @theycallmedan in Bangkok steemfest 2019, who built 3speak.
Also just put you on my auto voter to give you a little extra support as I often don't have time to catch every post.
But I must say nothing like seeing a security guard grabbed by the balls when you enter a new country! hahaha
Thanks for the support, seems we've been in a lot of similar places and situations. Looking forward to any 3Speak content. Not too many of the Hive folks I follow make video content, so I'm definitely excited to see more people giving it a go. I've been using 3Speak to get over my on-camera fears. !ENGAGE 100
I've got to get on it, just been focusing on networking and keeping my photo content coming out at the moment. Hopefully in a few weeks I can start on that. Keep up the great work.
