$4 Massage

On the weekend, Erica, Ida and I went for a $4 massage across the road. It lasted 1 hour 20 minutes and was what we agreed to be the most interesting massage we've experienced so far. They started with the legs - a fairly normal beginning...until they began lifting us in the air on their knees, walking on our backs, and doing the knuckle slaps on the edge of our faces. We had a really good time and a laugh, twas a bit more strenuous than imagined! We also changed behind what we thought was one sided glass only to find that the people outside could and were watching what we were doing. Good times..

Hanging Out At Tiny Toones

It's really nice to be building a friendship with many of the kids at Tiny Toones! I have a group of little homies including Chomrong, Thong Thong, Chun Lei, Meng, Srey Pov, Borey and others :) Even though they hardly speak any english we are able to communicate and make jokes.

Pontoon with Tiny Toones!


We met the Tiny Toones breakdancers at a club called Pontoon as they performed with rappers and breakdancers! Great night :)

Community Outreach Tiny Toones


Tiny Toones runs a community outreach program that Nick and I were fortunate enough to participate in today! Everyday a few volunteers from Tiny Toones take a tuk-tuk to rural villages, they bring along educational materials and inform the youth about issues such as HIV/Aids, daily hygiene, drug taking and the volunteers also bring medical aid to clean any wounds the children may have. It was a great experience but I wish I could of understood more (as they were speaking Khmer)! The kids are also given notebooks and pens to encourage learning.
