Definitely not ideal circumstances, but we didn't want to jeopardize anything by de-masking indoors because it's technically against policy. As migrants, rules that locals often ignore are rules that we strictly follow because we live in such a precarious state.

The main thing is that it finally, officially happened. Hopefully, as they say, this too shall pass.
In an ideal world, what would your plans be for the future, where are you wanting to go from here?
We'd love to return to Cambodia, but the COVID-19 bureaucracy and red tape I'd have to go through to get in, plus the plane tickets would set us back at least $10,000 if not $15,000, money we don't have and not sure we'd spend all that just to go back to be broke on arrival. We also would like US passports for the family, so getting to the USA before the girls turn 18 is a priority too, and living there at least three years so they can get their power passports.
Other than getting passports before they turn 18, we really wanted to buy land on the Thai border in Cambodia, maybe an acre, and build a small house, but that dream is dead thanks to this new strange world we live in.
We have to be realistic now and and go where the doors are open, and that seems to be Albania, a place I have lived and love only second to Cambodia. We could get there and pay our first month's rent with visas included for only $4,000, plus the US Embassy offers immigration from there, allowing us a chance to go the USA when the door opens.
Fingers crossed....
Fingers crossed for Albania. I hope you can make that work and get the girls to the US.
Thanks, we'll take all the crossed fingers we can get.
