Wherever I live, whether it is my college dorm room, Casa Bart in Phoenix, or my apartment in Ottawa, my parents always inevitably ask me to send pictures so they can see the place where I am living. This time, I thought I would pre-emptively strike and post some pictures of the volunteer house and office where I am living and working in Phnom Penh.

View from outside the volunteer house/Bridges Across Borders office. The main office is on the first floor, the balcony on the second floor is outside our conference room, and the third floor is our rooftop balcony.

My lovely room, my bed is on the right. I normally have both the A/C and the fan blasting at night...that's how hot it is here.

The conference room, also known as the "social justice sweatshop." This is where we do most of our work, where the best wireless signal is, and where I am writing this post. It can get a little cramped sometimes, though, so interns will often escape to the roof to do work or to stealthily watch episodes of The Office as "team building breaks."

The volunteer house kitchen

The rooftop, which is the best place in the house to hang out, day or night. A great place to have a beer, watch the lightning, read, listen to music, sit in a hammock, complain about the inefficiencies of Bridges Across Borders,.....

....or play a game of chess, as Abi and Stanley demonstrate, with Brian looking on.
