Values of life.
Values of dream.
Values in everything.
Things change around us every day like flowing water.
Since you cannot control the flowing movement of time, why not appreciate what you have in your hands right now?
Sunny smiles of people in Cambodia reminded me about the happiness and beauty of life in very rudimentary form.

“We (people of Cambodia) are poor but happy”.
This is the exact words that Ban-san told me as he parked his motorbike and start preparing the freshly killed chicken for our friendship feast that he invited me after 3 long days of very hospitable and amazing road trip in Siem Reap.

Sure, even the breathtaking views from the top of grandiose stone temples can get old for city slickers — but the heart of appreciation and welcoming attitude these people in Cambodia demonstrate to strangers like myself was genuine and more real than any corporate tour guides you will meet in highly developed cities.
Nothingness proved to be fathomless and most spectacular.

As Japanese traveler, I also had particularly pleasant interaction with locals who still keep gratitude towards Japan for action of philanthropy that helped the development of country.
I was thanked by the policeman guarding the gate of Angkor Thom for visiting Cambodia, and also Ban-san told me a story about National Highway 6 that connects Siem Reap to Phnom Penh which was built by Japanese road workers.
One good act from heart will influence positive causes.
I’ve met a lone traveler from France at Beng Mealea who has been traveling around Southeast Asia for quite a while.
Because I forgot to purchase my entrance ticket prior to visit at Beng Mealea, the park keeper did me a favor and motorbiked to the ticket vendor to get me a ticket. While I waited for the park keeper, French traveler and I had a chat about traveling. He told me a story about his visit to Philippines immediately after the storm that struck the country last year. He was volunteering for disaster recovery at one small island that was hit directly by the storm; he sacrificed his sleep and tackled the wall of language barrier to help the people who he never met before.
This story influenced me positively and stayed with me long after my traveling has ended.

To me, the reason why I like to travel is not only because I want to escape from ordinary. Traveling is the medicine for mind-numbing day to day life that helps you release tensions of your mind and soul. Sadly, just like every other medicine it will not kill the root of problem entirely.
This is why the idea of “getting away” is always appealing.
