Since day 5 I have met so many people I can't keep track! It's just a domino effect. I meet one person, they introduce me to their friends, who introduces me to their friends, ect.. After just a few minutes of meeting one person I was invited to see a movie! We went and saw "The Maze Runner"(interesting, but not the best) in 4D (weird experience). For those who are not familiar with 4D, it's more of a ride. The chairs move, air is blowing in your face, lights flash, and there's smells! It was definitely not something I expected to do here in Cambodia, but I have already started to learn that expectations on this trip rarely sync with reality.
I also started my internship with COCD today! My first day was very low key and began with meeting most of the staff. I brought some Oregon taffy with me as an ice breaker and I hope it did the trick. I mean, who doesn't like some good salt water taffy?
For the lunch break I joined a couple of the Cambodian staff members... and do you remember me mentioning the Russian Market and how there is a maze of stores inside that I had yet to venture into? Well, for lunch today, we went straight into the heart of that maze! In the middle there appeared to be dozens of food stalls, so we sat down at one and I had a fried noodle dish with my new colleagues! I'm going to disappoint you but...I didn't take any pictures. I was just overwhelmed! But do not fear, I will be back and I will make sure to take lots next time!
So I have some exciting plans this week, especially tomorrow and possibly this weekend, but I don't want to throw out any hints so you will just have to wait and see what happens next!
