Cambodia 5/10/2013

Very tired. Havent recovered from the 24 hours journey from Geneva yet and losing a night of sleep and rest after full on VC OED autumn season. However the visit to Cambodia has been a great adventure so far and definetly worth it. Breakfast was interesting. Lots of hot meal options like noodles, rice with vegetable, sausages and omelets. No cereals or yogurt so i went for healthy fruit plate option. Got a ride to the village with a cart pulled by oxes. However seeing that all the cows and oxes have a string pulled through their nose which people use to guide and stop them makes me wonder how they do this to these poor skinny animals. Not sure if I want to ask. Today we started to build a house out of bamboo and palm leaves. The main 3 working groups are framing, leafing and flooring. Looks easier than it really is and the heat from the sun doesnt make it any easier on us. Walking a path flooded by water up to my knees is everyday reality for the local people and kids that have to push their bikes through the water to get to school (if lucky) or to work where they earn about 3USD a day.

Favorite meal: spicy noodles with shrimps or spicy mango salad. Yumm!
