2.) We spent Tuesday visiting the Temples. Some were really neat. One is just covered in massive tree roots.
3.) For lunch we ate in a Khmer traditional home.
4.) In the evening we took them to a buffet which featured Aspara dancing (which is the cultural dance).
5.) On Wednesday morning we toured a silk factory and saw how they make silk from the worm to the beautiful scarves. It gives a new definition to hard work and low pay.
6.) In the afternoon we went to the Cambodian Cultural Village which featured a series of dances about Khmer history and culture.
7.) For lunch on Thursday we ate at KFC...notice that rice is a part of the KFC meal here.
On a different note, this trip was an awesome experience for me. I learned to have a shower with a bucket and dipper, go to the washroom on the floor in an outhouse and then rinse it out of the house (there was no hole), and practice Khmer with the kids and help them with their English.
In the mornings we took turns leading devotions and some of the kids shared that they are not sure what they believe right now. So please pray for them as they go through this phase. Now we are all home safe and sound and it is time for life to go on as normal. I will post more pictures on facebook when I have access to a better internet connection.
Thanks for your prayers!
