One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1)I took 20 Cambodian kids on a hiking trip up Doi Suthep as part of their English class, to which I was a guest. The whole hike, I helped them with English while they taught me numbers 1-10 in Khmer . . . it was an incredible feeling 2) I stood on the Fanmile in Berlin during the 2006 Weltmeisterschaft and watched Germany defeat Argentina amid 700k cheering German fans in front of the Brandenburger Tor
