BALLOONS!
We love your comments! Please keep them coming! It reminds us that people at home actually remember who we are....
Today is Sunday and the internet lines seem a little faster. So we are going to take advantage. Jake and Charlie are making this post... finally. We know you've been waiting.
So last night we went to this concert. We encourage you to Google Beatocello. He's a swiss classical cello player/doctor who endorses hospitals in Cambodia that work with children. Every Saturday night he holds a free concert to promote awareness on TB, Denghai Fever and other diseases in the concert.
Afterwords, a few of us went to a carnival down the road. There we could pop balloons to win SWEET prizes like fish sauce and ginger wine!!! =) Charlie won three candy bars! He didn't pop enough for the sauce. Emma and Jake rode a ride... it was very safe. Johnny, Charlie and Gabe spent that time convincing the locals that they were street boxers from France. This led to our invitation to a kick boxing match across the lot, Cambodia VS. Thailand. We stayed for two rounds.
Today we ate lots of Crepes! After that we went to the market to find presents for Mon Men's class. It was sort of like Supermarket Sweep but harder because we weren't in a Stop N Shop or a Toys R Us.
Obstacles included:
-Children clinging to our legs
-Overwhelming stench of fish
-Language Barrier
In spite of all these we ended victoriously! We mounted our bicycles with 17 backpacks, 17 notebooks, 37 pencils and 17 pencil sharpeners and 17 pens!!!
yayyyyyyyy!

Great post, guys. It's wonderful to hear different voices on the blog!
Steve, you are looking pretty tired and scruffy in this most recent batch of photos. I never thought Charlie would come home with a crew cut and you would come back with HAIR! What are they doing to you over there?!?
It sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Keep the posts coming; I love keeping up with your trip.

i'm going to want a kickboxing demonstration when you guys get back.
the picture in a previous post of you all in front of the temple (the one being consumed by trees) is one of the coolest things i've seen—the temple, i mean. i hope you got more shots of that. the picture of gabe with the fish is priceless, and steve with the goat may be more than i ever wanted to see of him!
so glad to hear "directly" from jake and charlie—ALMOST every word spelled correctly . . .
keep the posts coming.
