Susade! Ive been in Sihanoukville for over 10 days now. In this time ive been to a Khmer wedding, seen the Russian Mafia, learnt to ride a moto (semi auto :( been sunbaking, taught at school, in the process of getting my open water scuba license, painted a school, attending a memorial service, made acquaintances with a doctor and scored free sleeping pills and eaten a lot of delcious food! The kids here are super terrific -as you can see by the photos. I let them paint their school yesterday.

It looks more like graffiti than a mural but hey, its ... read more
