A couple of days ago Katy and I met up with these three guys (one Australian and the other two were from London) and went to visit an orphanage. We took a tuk tuk to the ACODO (Assisting Cambodian Orphans and the Disabled Organization) Orphanage and spent a couple of hours playing with the kids. Let me just say that now I know why Angelina Jolie adopted from Cambodia.
These were some of the cutest and sweetest kids I have ever met. The moment our tuk tuk pulled up to the orphanage we were bombarded with hundreds of little hands wanting to hug and hold your hands. All these kids want is a little attention and affection. Which we were more than happy to give. They especially liked getting their picture taken and being able to take actual pictures. I ended up giving my camera to one of the girls and told her to go wild with and take pictures of whatever she wanted. I got my camera back with some pretty sweet pictures on it.
The day after we visited the orphanage we wanted to check out the Floating Village and the Flooded Forest. Both of these places were
fascinating an unreal. The water is about 10m deep. It was crazy riding in a boat next to the tops of trees and not being able to see the bottom of them. The water in the Floating Village wasn't as deep as that in the Flooded Forest because in the dry season there's an actual road that you can drive on. I don't really know what else to tell you about these insanely beautiful places so you will just have to check out the pictures to see what I'm talking about.
