homework

well its been a productive week here. for several reasons you soon realise that it is only possible to pencil in one serious activity per day. everything takes twice as long! especially if you are in the back of isaacs tuk-tuk going to pick up some school desks and he randomly decides to pick up these two tourists walking along the road. nice girls though turns out they are from israel and are tavelling around asia, they said meeting us was the best thing they had seen in what appeared to be a fairly small and uneventful city. there was a lot of truth in what they said, it can be uneventful! if i ever go to israel i have a contact now...though i dont suspect i ever will.

ive had a really positive week and have been in good spirits, which i admit is not often the case. it seems like time is flying by and that the new year will be here soon. i cant believe nearly a third of my time here has already passed.

My sister mentioned how impressed she was with that little line of khmer i put into one of my blogs a while back so i thought id show off a bit and show you my homework...

i get up at seven o'clock and have breakfast.i like toast for breakfast. i leave the house close to nine o 'clock and i arrive at work at nine. for lunch i eat rice and meat. usually i am hungry. in the evening i like to play football but usually i am late because i have to eat dinner. when it is night i go but it is a late night!

stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Ben.
