Arrival in Cambodia

Yesterday we arrived with the group in Cambodia and we greeted by some K3s and other PC staff AND the Heat. Now all 50 or so of us know that no one was exaggerating about the heat when it comes to Cambodia. It's hot, you sweat a lot, and use a hankerchief almost constantly to mop it up :) That's how it goes in Cambodia.

Once we arrived and took a bus to our hotel, dropped our bags, and then headed over to the Peace Corps Headquarters. Its a nice compound with air conditioning where volunteers can recharge so to speak, there's internet, a library of books, and clean bottled water.

Then it was time for shots... half of us got our first series of shots yesterday: typhoid, Hep. A, Japanese Encephalitis, and Rabies... Awesome. After those- we got juice boxes. It was the highlight of the afternoon.

The food is awesome... spicy but cool... I'll write more when I get a chance but I want to let someone else use this computer because we don't know when we'll get internet again.

Lots of love,
Mads

  1. I'm so glad you you have air conditioning and a library! That's fantastic! Two of my very favorite things as well.

    Glad you made it safely!
