Hi kids, We are in Siem Reap Cambodia where we have been for almost a week. We have been teaching English at a rural school each afternoon. Mornings are spent visiting temples, potteries, and the market place. The night markets are vibrant and the restaurants inexpensive. Tomorrow, Saturday, we are taking a five hour boat ride to Phnom Penh and moving toward Vietnam. We may go to the beach in Cambodia and that would be our last stop in this country. The weather has ben very hot in this supposed set and coolest season. Travel has been difficult this last week because of Chinese New Year, south east Asia is filled with Chinese and expats who teach English in China. There are many twenty somethings from English speaking lands who are working in China in part because they can't find work in their own countries. Also, Australia is on it's summer holiday. So, we can't seem to get seats on any overnight buses or trains and the hotels are jammed. This will change when China goes back to work on Monday. The level of poverty reminds us of central America, not any worse. Got to get going to visit more runs this morning. Love to both of you. Please write. Dad P.S. Our tuk tuk driver calls us mom and dad.
