day 8

sorry that I am so late... But we have not had Internet till Now. We just arrived in Thailand.

back to day 8...

Day 8 was a sad day, it was the day we had to say goodbye to the orphans and Batdambang. We woke up extra early so we could meet the kids at the orphanage before they took off for school. Basically we just played with them and hung out for a little bit. Then came the sad part, the goodbyes. It was so sad! All the kids started to crazy, even the orphan mom and dad, Savey and his wife, it was so sad and hard to leave.
Then we proceeded from the orphanage to the bus station for our 5 hour drive back to Phnom Penh. I was kind of expecting a really crusty bus, but we got a stinking nice coach air conditioned bus. There was even a plasma screen on it playing Cambodian movies. We got back to "the big city", Phnom Penh, and got to the guest house where we were staying. It was nice and air conditioned as well. we were really living in high class in the Cambodian culture because many homes do not even have a roof, let alone walls, so every thing we had been treated to while here is really their best of the best. The funny thing is even their best of the best in many areas is mediocre at best for us Americans. But we've truly been blessed while in Cambodia.
After we had unpacked and gotten settled Sivorn picked us back up and we went to "lucky market" which is basically a little chunk of American in the middle of this town. There was a 6 story mall that was stinkin' nice! also we shopped at the American style grocery store connected to the mall. After this quick adventure we returned to the guest house and slept till the next day...
