Baking in the Cambodian Cooker

Hi Everyone,

We have arrived in Cambodia today and settled in. We've had supper with Kalyan Tith (our Cambodian director), her family and the Cross Current students and had a wonderful evening. We've got a full day ahead with church and several visits to follow-up programs.

This morning we woke up in Bangkok to find ourselves surrounded by some beautiful Thai architecture. My dad and I went exploring (since we couldn't sleep anyway) and found a neat Buddhist temple just across a small canal from our hotel. The trip from Bangkok was semi-adventurous and pretty non eventful. As to be expected everything cost us probably twice what it should and the "police" were satisfied with a $4 "service charge"... what a joke!

I just noticed that there's a easy access slot for a usb key on this computer and I'll do my best to update you with some pictures tomorrow. However, for now, I think I'll hit the hay (I've been working hard to get on to a "local sleep schedule" and am very ready to crash!)
