If you could sit down and talk with that Cambodian jungle woman, what advice would you give her?
Assuming you could find a common language, what would you tell her about the world and what advice would you impart?

2. Wouldn't tell her a thing
but I would try, probably through meditation, to give her some semblance of peace of mind and try to communicate to her that her family loves her.

11. I would say run, don't walk....
...back to the jungle. And furthermore, I would go with her.

12. Jungle Woman?
'Take a shower' most probably and 'brush your teeth' wouldn't hurt either..

16. Tupperware will stretch your food dollar, particularly in the monsoon season.
And of that didn't work, I'd say, go back to the jungle and take me with you.

19. I would tell her...
That people are often self obsessed and will do many irritating and unnnecesary things entirely to get you to see them. When I came out of the woods after only months of being alone I was shocked at how shallow and vain people were. How they create stress for others and try to dominate and manipulate others. I might even add that 'go back' If it's really sustainable.
