Orientation Week

Plane ride was 2 hours not counting the slight delay - immediately took a van to BABC (Bridges Across Borders Cambodia).

Day 1: Had a really nice breakfast (french toast and fruit). Went to the Russian market (got some towels!), visited Tiny Toones - saw them doing breakdancing. Can't wait to get started on Monday - will probably be doing art and english classes there. They are relocating in October because some of the rooms are molding - the smell is unbearable. It is a bit of a shame as there is a lovely wall painting of a Cambodia landscape done by an art teacher. We went for dinner at Khmer Kitchen, I had some yummy stir fried vegetables. We all got new phones and simcards as expensive phones could attract unwanted attention.

BABC: Nice place with a tv room on the top floor, two rooms on the third floor, the kitchen and more rooms on the second floor, and the offices on the first floor.

The Rooming: There are eight of us on this trip. The four girls stay together and same goes for the guys. The room is quite large (will post picture later) with two beds and a bunkbed. Each girl has their own cupboard frame.

Helpful Notes: 

- females shouldnt touch male student's heads

- always decide a price before getting in a tuk-tuk
- 4000 riel to one U.S. dollar, but they use U.S. currency as well.

Photo: My bed frame broke so I decided I should document the moment. It was immediately fixed but we all found me falling into my bed quite amusing :)
