VISA, SHOTS, and PREPARATION

I am filling out my VISA right now for Cambodia and figuring out what shots/vaccines I need to get from my doctor. How exciting! The trip is less than 2 months away!!! I cant believe I am really doing this!!! Especially since after yesterday my mom sent me a warning posted by the US Embassy:

The U.S.Embassy advises U.S. Citizens to avoid large public gatherings and crowded public areas. Land mines and unexploded ordnance are found in rural areas throughout Cambodia, especially in BATTAMBANG!!

Cambodia has a high crime rate, including street crime. Military weapons and explosives are readily available to criminals despite authorities' efforts to collect and destroy such weapons.Armed robberies occur frequently in Phnon Penh. Foreign residents and visitors are among the victims. Victims of armed robberies are reminded not to resist their attackers and to surrender their valuables, since any perceived resistance may be met with physical violence, including lethal force. LOCAL POLICE RARELY INVESTIGATE REPORTS OF CRIME AGAINST TOURISTS!!

Medical Facilities do not even meet international standards, that's real scary should you get sick or worse get the "bird flu." Check with your health insurance before you leave to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and weather it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.

"Are you absolutely sure you want to do this ???? i for one am beginning to panic." (THAT WAS WRITTEN BY MY MOM)

The U.S. Embassy is located at No. 1, Street 96 (near Wat Phnom), Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The telephone number is (855-23) 728-000

I guess Uncle Tom and Aunt Karen were right... I am a little nuts... but GOD IS GOOD everyone and so there is no need to worry too much. My team and i... we are in his hands for this 2 weeks when we are over there. I AM SOO EXCITED!!!!

PS: Thanks for EVERYONE who is sending their prayers and support back to me... I most have the MOST gracious FAMILY and FRIENDS!
AMEN!
