One week in Cambodia has passed all too quickly with lots of fantastic experiences. I have been staying with my roommate from Seattle, Joe and his host family in Kampot town, a "sleepy river side town" with lots of old French colonial charm, dusty roads and genuinely nice people.
We spent most of the week going to the school Joe has been working at for the last 2 years. In the morning we would drink coffee and then after lunch head out to help the students with their English lessons.
After class it was generally time for more coffee at the riverside bungalow in between the school and town (separated by about 6 km).
Then we went to a traditional Khmer wedding, with lots of food, music and a plethora of exciting wedding costumes. I think the bride and groom changed 5 times each, though the brides sister mentioned that there were 15 dresses for the whole 3 day ceremony. Lots of fun, lots of dancing food and toasting.
The food here is fantastic, and Joe's host mom is a excellent cook, I am really lucky to have been here for this, Joe's last week with his family (and last week in the Peace Corps).
We are off to the river for a bbq and some swimming. Photos when I find a better internet connection.
