Kathmandu: Wednesday, April 23, 2008

I am hoping that today is a turning point and that the political situation in USA will now get better. Of course, I am really happy Hillary won in Pennsylvania and I hope she wins the White House too. In a certain sense, the situation seems totally lost on Obama and his minions; they are so intent on winning for themselves, they have forgotten about the world out there. He is spending so much money; and not a paisa is going for something poor out there. I suppose it is against campaign laws to donate to Charity, but he donated a lot to Charity when he got the money back from his friend who is on trail. He sure has come out with a parade of people that if the rest of us had befriended, we would be in the dump. But not him. I guess he really is out there promoting a better democratic world for tomorrow.

I looked back on my Cambodian pictures, which are the best that I have ever taken. In some of the pictures, I can't believe the quality of the light. I am toying with the idea of going back to Angkor Wat to do a photo study and maybe it will be book quality. I should be back in Cambodia around June, 2008.

In July, 2008 I am registered to go to a Conference in Kuching, Sarawak about some of the volunteer successes. This is the first time I have been back to Sarawak since I left in 1966. I thought about going back off and on since the elapsed time, but never quite did it because I did not know what to think about my boyfriends that I left there. Now, after this last trip to Thailand and Cambodia, I feel alright about going back to Sarawak. Somebody told me that Malaysia is like the California of SE Asia.

So, these are my thoughts for today.
