Unit of measurement

US and Cambodia have 2 complete different system of "measurement". If you have asked yourself  "how cold is 60 Fahrenheit?", "How far is 3 miles?", join the club. I have to pretend to know what people around me are talking about, and secretly use the converter on my phone to see the value in Celsius or in Kilometer.
Supposed that you are asked, "How hot is Cambodia?", don't answer in Celsius. American people are not familiar with that "odd system".
Try this and tell them the result.
  degrees Celsius
equals
degrees Fahrenheit

Packing to America


Packing your stuffs to another country permanently is a huge different comparing to packing for a 3 days trip to Thailand or to the beach. For a short trip, you just pack some clothes, some snack, probably your laptop, or maybe a hairdryer, etc... In my case, this is more than moving to a new house, it's moving to a new house in another country.
