A final whirlwind weekend. Seeing the royal palace, saying goodbye to friends and "family" (when you are close friends, Khmer people call you their brothers and sisters), going to my first ex-pat house party, and packing.
It's a boiling day here in Phnom Penh: intense sun, a light breeze, and slower movement.
A wonderful older American couple had me over for a drink, and we watched the boats go up the river, and talked about the future.
Things look promising.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
