Michael's Life in Cambodia

Michael Reporting

There are things I like about Cambodia, things I don’t like about Cambodia, and things I miss in the U.S. This story explains it all.

I like the beach but I have to many mosquito bites to go, so we haven’t gone yet. I like our VIP tuk-tuk which is driven by our Uncle Kosal. He takes us anywhere we want to go so we can save more money. I also like the TV here because it has Cartoon Network and new shows.

The think I mostly hate about Cambodia is we don’t have any internet in our house. We have to go to internet cafés, but we can only go like once or twice a week. I don’t like the home school very often because my mom and dad push me to do my work. Mostly I hate the bugs. We have a lot of cockroaches and mosquitos and ants in our house in Cambodia.

I really miss the air conditioning in my house in the U.S. I also miss the food in the U.S. like pizza, macaroni, chicken, and curros. I also miss the weather, because in Cambodia it is sweltering hot. But sometimes we get rain in the night in Cambodia. I miss the fast internet, my friends, and downtown San Antonio like the Riverwalk, the Alamo, the museum, and the restaurants.

I like Cambodia, but I just want to go home.
