Hi Sweetie, I'm sorry I've been so out of touch...so much going on around here but only one more week of French school left! I'm happy but yet sad since I love our teacher and the class has been so much fun. Oh well...school will start agin in only two months!!!!
So anyway my sweet girl, it's so good to see you and Anna (what a beautiful girl she is!) having such a good time. I miss you so much it made my heart warm to see your pictures. Even if you don't have the time to send much dialogue it's wonderful to get your pictures! Thanks for sharing your trip...keep enjoying yourselves and stay safe.
P.S....have to tell you when you said you were traveling with three flat tires...I thought you had three flat tires at one time but then the pictures explained you got three flat tires in one trip! What a visual of thinking you were on a bus with only one good tire!!!!

Bonjour Emilie,
J'ai regardé ces images et j'ai eu des frissons... d'horreur évidemment. Des centaines et des milliers de génocides ont eu lieu dans le monde et, dans notre confort du 21e siècle nord-américain, on l'oublie trop souvent. Dire que c'est arrivé il y a si peu longtemps... lorsqu'on était bébé... De voir ces images me fout la trouille... le monde est si laid...
Merci d'avoir partagé cela avec nous... mon petit samedi de congé vient de prendre un autre tournant...
Je t'aime fort !
Annie

L,essentiel est invisible pour les yeux... wow,juste dans ton dernier courriel ,on peut sentir la difference ,la transformation qui te donne une ouverture avec les yeux du coeur...,ce n,est pas les peripeties d,une touriste que l,on peut lire mais bien le voyage d,une personne qui change au gre des rencontres et decouvertes quelle fait,hallucinant,keep it coming...xxx,Jean

Mais bon je sais pas si ca te branche et tu sera probablement deja au laos? Bref, have fun, ouvre bien tes mirettes et oublie pas de raconter tt ca!

et maintenant le bonheur en Thailande... Bravo pour avoir su mettre des mots sur toutes ces emotions, c'est si joliment raconte et "le cambodge qui pleure ton depart", j'en ai eu des frissons. Content que t'es fait une belle rencontre avec Sanith, c'est sans aucun doute ca qui t'as fait aimer Phnom Penh. Maintenant amuse toi bien a Samui! pour info, il y a une full moon part
Surf classes... sounds interesting! Hey mate, you sound like a real Australian already... How are you dealing with 'no phone, no internet'??? Hahaha!
I'll definitly think about surf classes... don't think I would be great, but it's worth trying!
You WILL kiss me because it WILL work, you're so close, I'm here...
Keep it in mind, it's just of matter of WHEN!
J't'embrasse beaute! Mimi xxxx
Thanks to Rene and Michele It's very sweet of them; tell them I totally agree with their friend, Cambodia changed my life too.
On a beach all week end doing the lazy girl, and then on the road again... Laos for 3 weeks!
Hope everything's fine; looks like spring's there... you will get rid of the snow! ;)
Love you, xxxx

La bouffee de fraicheur vient d'arriver! Oui, oui, toi, Marie! Que je suis contente! Toi qui a de l'experience en la matiere... ;)
Oui, cette insecurite qui me colle a la peau... Je la perds quand je m'installe quelque part pour quelques jours; elle me reprend aussitot que j'attache mon sac a mes freles epaules, freles mais capables d'en prendre!
Je me surprends moi-meme, a plusieurs niveaux...
Je t'embrasse fort Marie! Merci d'y etre, avec moi!
Chevre xxxx
Que je t'envie.... Allo beauté des îles,
Je suis tellement contente pour toi que ce périple prenne forme. Tu sembles vivre des expériences uniques tout en portant une insécurité stimulante propre aux voyages.
Je t'envie d'avoir la chance de te mettre en danger, de découvrir de nouvelles choses et de nouvelles personnes à chaque jour. Profite bien de tous ces moments précieux.
Je vais suivre tes aventures avec intérêt.
Bisous
Marie-Alexxxx
Jerome!! Contente de te lire; j'ai pense beaucoup a toi. T'en fais pas, j'etais tellement mal cette journee-la que je n'avais pas d'energie pour penser a grand-chose... La semaine a ete dure, une journee je sens qu'enfin, j'ai repris des forces et voila que le lendemain, je repasse mon temps aux toilettes et au lit.
Je suis a Phnom Penh; le trajet d'autobus a ete horrible, mais voila, j'y suis arrivee. Pas de mal de coeur du tout depuis jeudi, c'est le plus etrange...
J'espere reprendre assez de force pour repartir vers Bangkok dans les prochains jours. Si je ne me sens pas capable de le faire en autobus, je me tape un vol vers Bangkok vendredi matin.
Heureuse que ton retour se soit bien passe! Merci pour l'invitation; tu peux etre sure que je passerai; ecoute, j'ai tout mon temps!
Ce fut un plaisir que de partager cette aventure du Cambodge avec toi, merci beaucoup!
Je t'embrasse et te dis a bientot! xx
Pictures and memories forever Dear Fred, thanks so much. You are definitly right; it is the adventure of a lifetime and I feel so proud to have left the fears behind and decided to try it. Just like in a rollercoaster, it's not always easy but fulfilling and fun, after all!
I'll turn 27 this year, thought I should do it now...
Keep travelling with me! Oh, and I'm being careful!! xx
A warm note Thanks Inge, brought a big smile to my face when I read your message. It brings a lot to me to know that I'm far from being alone on that road.
I'm getting better, hopefully in a couple of days I'll be strong enough to hit the road again.
Thanks again, xx
Life is such a blessing... Tina, your message touchedme so much... I'm happy to read that you feel my stories when reading them. I so often feel like I'm missing words... there's so much to say, yet so little time... I'll have a lot to say when I come back, that's for sure...
Tina, you don't know how much your support is helping me, and the fact that all your friends and family is following me too, it brings tears to my eyes every time. Thank you so much.
Still weak; probably had some bad ice back in Sihanoukville. Getting some rest in Phnom Penh right now, when I'll feel strong enough I'll go back to Bangkok.
Keep you posted! Love you so much, xxxx
back home in thailand sawas'dei!
Je me sens tout desole d'etre parti alors que t'etais malade. mais si il y a deja des nouvelles sur le blog c'est que tu t'es vite remise. de mon cote, j'ai mis 2jours pour rentrer chez moi. j'ai pris le bateau et j'ai passe une nuit a trat qui est vraiment une petite ville tres agreable. Hesite pas a passer chez moi a nakhon ratchasima, j'ai plein de place, j'adore faire visiter le peu qu'il y a a voir et tu pourrai t'y reposer au bord de la piscine sur ton chemin vers bangkok.

Brother-in-law of Tina Hello Emilie!
This is Fred. I am the brother-in-law of Tina, hubby to her sister, Helen.
I am enjoying your trip with you. Thanks for the updates. Sounds like you are having the adventure of your life. You are wise to take advantage of your young years and travel. It gets harder as you get settled down. Go, see, photograph, and remember it all. You will travel back in your mind for years to come. I lived in Genoa, Italy for a semester in Architecture school and I still enjoy the fun memories.
Have fun and be careful!
Love, Fred
Thank you Hi Emilie,
I am one of Christa's(Tina) sisters. I so enjoy reading about your travels and the pictures you send. Thank you so much. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Inge
Hi sweetie...again, I messed up just now... Hi sweet Emilie,
Sorry didn't mean to send that comment before I could finish...
What I wanted to say was how your "Cambodia update" brought goosebumps to my body, tears to my eyes and yet a big smile to my face.
I am so proud of you that you are taking in as much as possible! Thank goodness you are not shy and ready to "participate" and "experience" everything you can.
You didn't have to take pictures of the "family" experience...you described it so well, I could see it in my head and you made me feel as if I was there with you, watching you dance and everyone laughing not at you but with you!
Your positive upbeat attitude is just one of the things I love so much about you...
I do hope you feel better soon, I hope it's nothing serious and just maybe too much "fun"!!!
I love you, I thank you for your updates. My niece (in Georgia) told me she is feels like she's making this trip with you...I do too! Thanks sweetie...kiss kiss, Tina
I've traveled for years now, in my dreams... In my head... I got so good at it that I don't even have to close my eyes anymore!
Little Frenchie who has always wanted to see the world, feel the world!
I can finally say, almost 2 years after I left Montreal to work in Alberta, that I'm making the move. Can feel it... So excited, but, I won't lie, totally scared too!
Hopefully, this life adventure will open my heart and soul to a dimension I've never thought could exist... and maybe touch yours at the same time!
Welcome aboard!
