Saying goodbye to Siem Reap

Our last few days in Siem Reap meant we had a lot of people to say goodbye to. We had our last trivia night. This time we made a team up of a girl, Amy, who was teaching at CDO for the last few weeks and an Israeli couple, Mica and Ariel, who would be doing two weeks of teaching once we left.

Nicole and Amy at trivia night. We are drinking the San Miguals that Nicole won in the charity raffle.

We also used our last bit of time to help those missing limbs from land mines who were trying to make a living in Siem Reap. Here you can see one land mine victim who does drawings and paintings about the local temples and sells them to tourists. What we found particularly endearing is that he paints himself into many of the pictures. If you look closely, you can see him in his wheelchair following a monk at Bayon temple.

We thought our suitcases would be a little overweight, so Nicole brought a lot of items to CDO to give away to the girls. They immediately kicked all the boys out of the house and had a "girls only" meeting (with Stan allowed to come take some pictures for a few minutes).

Meak shows off a new top, Sophy is wearing a new Sarong and Kounthy has just jumped up for the photo leaving all her goodies on the ground.

Kammah is showing off a fan nearly as big as she is!

Everyone (boys and girls) got a new toothbrush. The girls also got some make up and perfume to share.
