The city of Phnom Penh traces its origins to the fourteenth century.

I came because my son and his family invited me to try life out here, and that was motivation enough for me. I live in Phnom Penh, and what I enjoy most is watching people, far more than monuments or any of that.

We left Cuernavaca, my cousin and two of her friends and I, to pick up the son of one of them in Cholula.

We fairly often walk back from the Condesa neighborhood. As many Mexicans already know, la Condesa has become a sui generis corner of the city.

For me, a Mexican woman, not exactly in a position to boast about how advanced we are, this trip to Cuba made that very clear.

It turns out they shut it down every Sunday, so people can enjoy themselves skating, cycling, or just walking.

It just hasn't gotten better. Why do I say it so bluntly? Because at 51 years old, having spent most of my life in this country, and after living in Thailand, I'm back here for a stretch and the evidence is everywhere I look.
