It's Saturday so no classes today...just a bit of shopping, blogging, friendship-bracelet making, and a visit to the the Wat Damnat neighbourhood of Siem Reap. Tonight will be Cambodian barbecue (Blaise's choice) and the regular Saturday night live Beatocello Concert (a Swiss doctor plays the cello every Saturday night by donation for children's hospital, and seems to have been doing it forever...)
This voluntourism holiday is turning out to surpass my expectations (not that I knew what to expect). The little girls at the dance school who make up Emi and Blaise's classmates are adorable and for some their English is such that real relationships are being made. Same at Sangkheum orphanage... we are having a lot of fun but we have come prepared as well and we are all exhausted by the end of the day (Kids fall asleep at about 7:00 if we are not still at a restaurant).
Of course I want to adopt all these kids and can't... but I do have plans...
