Canada with a Cambodian lining
I was asked to help out at a multicultural parish which hosted multi-lingual communities of Filipinos, Polish, Spanish, Iraqi, Indian, and Lao.
On May 6, 2013, I arrived at my new assignment in Canada. As I was going around the premises of Our Lady of Good Counsel (Surrey, BC), my pastor showed me the Church,
the School,
the Youth Center.
Then my pastor invited me to cross the street and showed me something that surprised me across it.
It was a Cambodian pagoda - tent version.
Outside we met the Cambodian monk who was with another Khmer. After almost five years, I got to make some small talk (sontanea) with them in the Khmer language again. Gosh am I missing this language, its people and its land. Nik git haoy!
