Great trip.  Thanks for sharing your stories and photos,

I've got a few more things (plus some pictures) to add over the next couple of days....some fun stuff as well as some other things. :)

Please GET ON IT. 

TehBorken....I've told you before and I'll tell you again, you NEED TO WRITE A BOOK !  Please ?
Your stories and how you present them are priceless. 
I'll be first on the list to purchase your first edition.

As I often tell my wife, "Yes ma'am!"   lol

Okay, I added a short bit on some of the, err, "home protection" features with a few pics.

Also, a Special Bonus feature: Great Bars In Cambodia (http://discoverseattle.net/bars/).
These aren't necessarily the fanciest bars or the most well-known, but  each has a distinctive appeal all its own. We deliberately didn't cover  the "famous" Cambodian bars here, instead we wanted to visit and  experience the kind of places you might not normally go into or even be  aware of. Many of these bars cater to a more local audience rather than  tourists or foreigners.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

I'm surprised to see so much English signage. I like the Corruption Bar and the Happy Man Bar.  Is it a drive-thru ? LOL

Yeah, that's probably what I did. Doh!!

I'm very proud to announce America's newest United States Citizen.

Sakha passed her US Citizenship Exam this morning, April 30th 2012, and was sworn in a few hours later around 12:30pm.  :)



To get to this point we fought our way through the State Department, the California Immigration Service Center, the National Visa Center in Vermont, the Department of Homeland Security investigators, the Phnom Penh Police Department, the Cambodian Records Center, the Cambodian Emigration Authority, the United States Embassy in Phnom Penh, US Customs & Immigration Services, and finally the US Customs & Border Protection. We turned in over 1,000 pages of documentation, had her fingerprints taken 4 times (at $680 a shot), sat through multiple interviews and jumped through numerous other hoops. After almost 4 years of this sort of thing, she is now a full-fledged United States Citizen.

And believe me, we are soooooooooo done.

Wow, what a lot of BS. However, my congratulations to both of you.

And by the way, here's what you get for  ~$5000 in USCIS application fees:



They spared no expense, this thing had to cost at least 10 cents.
