24th September

Goodbye Japan!
This morning, we had to get up at 5:15am because we had to get on the plane to home. Damn, I didn’t feel well. I got fever again as the first day I arrived in Japan. Maybe I got the heat from the noodle last night. I shouldn’t have eaten that. It’s not time for regret. I must do something to lower my body temperature. Putting cold towel over my forehead was the solution I did every night, so I must try to do that continuously.

We went to have body temperature checked as every morning, and I got 37.9oC, almost breaking the record. I wouldn’t have returned home if it had reached 38oC. Sister Danich, Yuki, and Yamada were worrying for me. All I had to do was keeping cold tissue over my forehead, neck, and arms.

Under the 9 days of burden, I felt nothing but tired and sleepy. Sunmeng held my baggage for me at the airport. Thank you! We checked in and waited in front of the gate for 1 hour. We bought some water and snack with our coins. They would be no use when we returned to Cambodia. At 10:50, we departed. Goodbye Japan. See you again!

Waiting at Bangkok Airport again
On the plane, I tried to sleep as much as I could. Now, I got used to sleeping on the plane. It’s not as terrible as the first time on the plane to Japan. We arrived in Bangkok at 15:25, but we had to wait till 18:10 for departure. Oh! Waiting at Bangkok airport again! I couldn’t forget the first time we waited at Bangkok Airport till midnight. The sky got darker and darker, while our anxiety for home got stronger and stronger.

Cambodia Phnom Penh International Airport
Thank goodness! It’s 18:10. Getting on the plane and taking off was no longer anything interesting for us. All we were hungry for was the reunion with family immediately. Home home home! After one-hour flight, Cambodia Phnom Penh International Airport, we saw you again! We missed you so much! We didn’t want to waste even 1 second to meet our family. We rushed to check out. Bellin and Virya seemed to be missing their family more than anyone. I had no one to see me off and now I had no one to pick me up at the airport, but it’s not important. Now we came out of the airport. Some of our friends had already gone. I only saw Bellin and Sunmeng with their family. I got on the bus with Mr. Ros Keing, Sovann, Sopheak, Sereyroth and a few university students back to Sunway Hotel. It’s over 8:00pm when we arrived at Sunway Hotel. I saw my father and brother waiting for me out side. It’s time to say bye bye to Sovann, Sopheak, and Sereyroth. Eventually, home I returned!

That’s all for my JENESYS in September 2009.
