Poipet

sorry to keep you all waiting for these blogs and now there will be one great rush as we are all in an internet cafe writing!!! we have tried to get on the internet but we were either too late or it wasnt working!
so far everything has been amazing! we arrived on tueday afternoon after a very long uncomfortable journey however we did get to know one of the cho workers, Kosal, who told us about his childhood, that man is a miracle of God! I'll explain another time.
when we got to poipet we went straight to the restaurant where we met Chomno and his wife Kim along wth the other resteraunt girls all of whom are fantastic, lovely people!
then yesterday we visited 8 diferent projects that cho has they are all equally wonderful and again i will go into detail another time!
then in the afternooon yesterday we were invited to Kim's neices wedding in the nearby cit of Batambang! It was a 2 and a half hour jouney on a VERY bumpy road i can't even begin to describe how bad the road are here but it makes it interesting! Dada and Dave had their kilts hoever us three wen were absoluitly ortified at the wedding as all the women looked perfect where as we looked like tramps but were also honoured guests and the only people to get up and dance with the bride and groom!! (It was an honour and a pleasure but also soooooooooooooo humiliating)
Then today we went to a tiny village to the school with tons of absolutly gorgeous kids where we spent the day acting out bible stories and making paper crosses with them and giving them sweet whch they couldnt have been more appreciative of!
Anyway we better go as we are now going to another school, mch love thanx for the comments xxx

What an amazing time you're having - spoken to a few people who've been reading the blog, so it's good that the technology's cooperating and we can keep up. Trying to picture Dad and Davie in their kilts at the wedding - did Stuart feel left out? These photos better be good! We're having gales here - I'm trying to stop the trampoline taking off again...feeling not a little envious of the Cambodian heat. Love Mum
