Thought Valley

Being born and raised in this world for 20 years, I finally have a better picture of how the world really is. When I was young, I always thought that the world is so beautiful a place to live in and that I was so lucky to be a human being who can embrace the intelligence, as well as the fruit of the intelligence of our ancestors. What's more, I always thought that those "make the world a better place"s are goals that keep people working constantly. Maybe if I stay naive like that, I could have a happier life. But no. I have seen so many ugly relationships, in which everyone is trying to get benefit out of the people they are with.

Standing from here, a railroads system in Tuol Kork area, I could see the skyscrapers, Vattanac tower and Canadia bank, standing side by side; their glasses was reflecting the light of the sun beautifully.

Standing in front of the trains were lines of houses made from zinc roof. A small brick building which seemed to had once been the train checking point of the railway was used as a storage. There was a community there. A group of kids and teenagers were playing around that area so energetically and cheerfully when all their toy was just a ballo...
