    Another super video Julia ....fabulous to see how immersed you are with the culture and people . From experience I know how friendly Cambodians are and you’ve clearly been accepted as a friend and more so one of the family ! 😍

      Thank you so much for watching! This is my family here for sure. Since I started coming to Cambodia in 2015 I've been connected with Phany -- my sister and head teacher at the COC school. (as well as her twin sister Sophanin who also teaches there!). They have my back no matter what (if I'm sick for example) and I feel very loved.

    People that live in the countryside practically live off the land which provided by mother nature without destroying it and that's what I love about it. And as they say, the poor are friendlier and more generous than the wealthier. Lovely video, Bravo!

    Great video. Purple fruit is guava. Yummmy. I saw the PSB organic fertilizer next to the blue water tank. They're going green, healthy fruits. They can drill well water. Oh, they have well water. Yes, they eat bugs. Extra proteins. Abundance. Hahhhaha. Big beautiful farm. The tubers called yuca. U r very brave. Did u try the frog for breakfast?

    Totally love your videos, it’s my first time watching your channel. Your genuine any open mind personality truly exposing your being as a person. As Cambodian, that traditional flute song brought tears to my eyes missing my homeland deeply as well reminiscing of Cambodian dark past and the nightmare that I experienced as a child. Thank you and enjoy Cambodia.

    You are amazing, enjoyed yourself and you are lucky to experience this kind of life no stress, anxiety like me working all the time here in America from 9 to 5. I missed my mother land Cambodia and hanging out with my Khmer people lot. I used to catch frogs and fishing at night, brings back a lot good memories. This flute music makes me a teary eyes. I wish I am in your shoe and enjoy the experience. Stay blessed and stay safe. Thanks for sharing your videos

    • @juliahaw
      @juliahaw  ปีที่แล้ว

      Is there a chance you can move back to your home country? I find the quality of life is much better here than in America. In the US it's very focused on self, holding things close to the chest and that 9-5 you mentioned. While we still work very hard here, it's all about family, community and sharing experiences. I think it's what life is about. I hope to see you here soon. Sending love.

    looks like good family fun. that is what a lot of us are missing living here in the west especially in the big cities. we tend to live alone and it can be quite isolating even though there are heaps of people around. in cambodia you interact and know everyone, your neighbors, relatives, shop keepers etc

    • @juliahaw
      @juliahaw  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The biggest reason... the heart of this country and why I am here, is the people and community. When I walk home at night, I literally wave goodnight to all the shopkeepers and neighbors. In the states everyone keeps to themselves and it can be very lonely and isolating. I feel warmth here..... xoxo

    Nice video! I have wondered about why most dont have hot water in their bathrooms even when bathrom bathrooms are in the homes….im guessing hot water heaters are not readily available and not really necessary..just a convenience. I love frog hunting and frog legs! Yummy amphibian!!! It looks like they have made the pond…im assuming they raise fish and frogs? Its a beautiful land and its hard to think that as early as the 1970’s horrible atrocities happened there due to war.

    Hello, 🌼🌷May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED."
    God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
