First day is finally over and we have all had a taste of Cambodia both culturally and literally. The theme for dinner tonight was "Royal Banquet" and the fact that dinner even had a theme lets you know how amazing the team has already been. They have helped each other with their luggage, shared nush and funny stories and when it came to dinner tonight, Alex and Dylan decided that everyone should have a rolay themed name card so that we could start to sit next to different people. Doron tried his hand at table decoration and took on the role of apprentice chef to help prepare the mushroom spring rolls that were a part of our first Cambodian meal experience.
We spent part of today at the Siem Reap Artisans' colony where our lovely guide explained the work being done to help those injurred by the Pol Pot regime could be helped to learn a skill that would help them provide a livelihood for them and their families. The work being done inspired our team to sart shopping and some beautiful gifts have been bought for family back home.
After dinner we had the pleasure of a tuk-tuk ride aroung town before we sat down to write in our journals and arrange the things we needed for our first service project tomorrow.
Stay tuned for our next blog that will be brought to you by some our team members.
Goodnight - finally
Adina and Braham
