"Bienvenue, Vilkomen, Come on In"

So, here's the deal. I'm going to Cambodia for the fall to intern at the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam; http://dccam.org/) which is an non-governmental organization (NGO) that is supplying 90% of the evidence to be used in the international war crimes tribunal of the senior Khmer Rouge officials (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_Rouge).

So, the real purpose of this blog is to document my experience living and working there. I was in Cambodia just under 6 years ago and it was, in a word, intense. I thought I'd never go back. But now I am and hopefully this blog will provide me with a space to not only share some of my experiences there but also to help me work through what will undoubtedly be a crazy time in my life.

But first, I need to have some fun. That's just how I do. So, on the way, I'm heading to Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Borneo (Malaysia) to see some friends, family and do some scuba diving.
