Home with the family for the Holidays for the first time in several years. Christmas here was indeed much whiter than what I am accustomed to, on account of both the snow and the people. I feel homesick for quirky Asian queries like “What you do this year for Merry Christmas?” and “Where you go this year for Happy New Year?”
Last year I wrote a local version of “The Night Before Christmas” that began..
Twas the night before Christmas
And all through Phnom Penh,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even Hun Sen…

where will you be going? If you make it down to Juba in the south, PM me and I’ll give you contact information for my old friend Tom, who runs the area’s only independent English language daily. Cheers, A.
