My photo's unfortunately are not in order, but this basically is the street scene in Cambodia, busy busy streets where moto's outnumber cars by heaps no one bothers about helmets and it is not uncommon to see three or four people on one moto!
This little girl's name is Pot she is the daughter of Mr Sim Kalayman who is the director of REDA where I will be working, he kindly invited us to dinner on Thursday night, which was very nice we had beef and bean with peanut sauce salad, whole fried catfish, fish tom yum and mango's for desert, with lots of Anchor label beer. Everytime a new can was opened everyone would say Cheers! and drink a whole lot!
Here are the people at the dinner party, unfortunately I can not remember names but the man standing is Mr Kalayman the REDA director and his wife, the man in green is the financial director and the man in white on the right is the assistant director.
Yesterday Anna and I took a cyclo tour around Phnom Penh for $US3.50 two men pedalled hard out for 2 hours and toured us around everywhere, this is Anna in front of the Buddhist Institute in Phnom Penh, the tour was amazing we saw an elephant, monuments and markets. It was great to be able to get our city bearings and make friends with the cyclo drivers. Sambo rode my cyclo, he is 18 and just left high school has some English so was nice to chat we exchanged emails and he will take me ANYWHERE i want!
This is a common sight in Cambodia, lots of poverty, lots of begging I don't think I will ever get used to seeing starving children, it makes you appreciate life so much more...
