holy shit dude... this is terrible news. Your property in Cambo is destroyed? How? taken over by locals?
I would offer some advice but man oh man, I have none. I think getting out of USA and heading back to Cambodia is the best move but I would imagine you and the wife are likely thinking more along the lines of what is best for the kids.
I'm sorry to hear that things are bad. I expected them to be less-than-awesome but not this bad.
I have been meaning to post an update, but things keep changing. At this point the town where my daughters studied has been leveled. My village up the road which is also a military outpost, my family being only one of three civilian families allowed to live in the base, is under attack from F-16 strikes. Our military outpost has only a tin roof, so I have offered our unfinished lodge with a reinforced concrete rebar 2nd floor as an alternative outpost if/when our base is destroyed.
Not much information is coming out of the village. The bridge has been bombed and destroyed, so now there is no longer a way for us to go buy produce even if things return to normal some day. Hard to believe the Thai PM got off the phone with my president and them bombed our town and bridge, still doesn't seem real.
I haven't been able to post because we feel so paralyzed. Friends and neighbors are dead, but we don't know the extent yet.
