We arrived on Thursday after a 20 hour flight to the heat and humidity we have never experienced before! VSO have accomodation above the office for 10 people but as there are 15 of us we are staying in a guesthouse 5 mins away by tuk-tuk.
Friday we attended the start of an induction course in the office. Sat. we went on a rickshaw tour of the city Phnom Penh - PP. So hot and sweaty all the time it is hard take it all in but Emily; we saw our first elephant in the temple. Last night we walked to the Independence Momument and watched all the teenagers dancing in the main square from 6-8pm and then went to our first eating experience on our own! The first place we tried had 3 pages of the menu devoted to various types of frog so we went to another! I think I shall be living on fried rice with either egg or vegetables.
Today is our rest day and we slept until late - even though the temp in our room has not dropped below 30C day or night and we have no a/c. We sauntered across the road to breakfast at the Asian Star and now I am writing a blog. I feel like a back-packer, but wish I was 30 years younger too.
