In Phom Penh

We haven't been in the path of any typhoons, though sadly a lot of people in other areas of Cambodia and in Vietnam have. We did have an extremely wet day in Kampot, though, where we helped to build a simple pole house for a very needy family. We certainly hadn't expected goose bumps in Cambodia, but a few of us had them! And 2 hour's drive away, back at our homestay in Takeo, our washing was happily drying on the line. ( By the way, a few students commented on how much fun it was doing the washing, so parents take note!!) It's been full on since arriving in Phom Penh early this afternoon. Experiences ranging from the sombre to the hilarious. Dinner and the lure of cheap pedicures just around the corner from our guesthouse have probably put other bloggers on hold until tomorrow. The sight of a row of students reclining in comfy seats with their sweaty, wiggling little toes extended and being pampered was really something to behold.

We have a bit of a limerick competition going, that a few students have dabbled in. This one harks back to our time in Sapa, in Vietnam:
There was a H'Mong woman called Mi // who invited us all round for tea // First she offered us dog // then cat, snake and frog // and to wash it down hog-blood for free.
