The Cambodians understand better than us Americans that the way to deal with the 90 plus degree weather is to 1. stay inside 2. stay by a fan or 3. just stay in the shade. Today the silly Americans did none of the above as we did the Siem Riep market and then the Cultural Center, their attempt at Disney World minus the rides. It involved lots of walking and lots of sweating. But it's been nice to see the town and ride on the tuktuk taxis - carts pulled by motobikes.
The group has changed dynamics drastically with the addition of Emily and Jonathan and their 4 short termers. Traveling as four people is very easy but getting 10 people around is hard. Elias, Nat, Stan and I do a lot of stuff on our own like in the market, since we find no reason to buy anything since we'll be here for 7 weeks.
Tonight more short termers arrive and tomorrow will be church and orientation.
So far, no sickness, sun burn or homesickness (at least not too bad). Pray that will continue!
