I have FINALLY been able to upload some pictures from the past two weeks, and since I haven't posted in a while, I'll hold off on the long, detailed stories for this post. Here's my past two weeks in pictures (and short descriptions :P) :
Beautiful Cambodia Sunset...
,,,and a window look at part of the Phnom Penh night skyline
This corner I would call Phnom Penh's 'Party Central'.. clubs, bars, pizza, and lots of tourists.
This little guy (NOT...he was probably 12 inches long from head to tail!!!) surprised me on my way home one evening...
My wonderful friend Hallie, a former Intern with COCD...
...and another lovely friend I have made here, Sophorn!
Last Thursday was a holiday here in Cambodia (yes another one) and I was in the car with some staff from COCD driving through Phnom Penh. We drove by a large group gathered outside of the French Embassy and at first glance we thought it was a mob of protesters. As we passed we realized it was actually a peaceful gathering in celebration of the holiday, the anniversary of the Paris Peace Agreement.
Later that same day, I joined COCD's Executive Director, Mr. Pola, on a trip to check out a couple preschools for a new project I will be assisting him with. The moment I stepped into the doorway of the second preschool, I was swarmed by the students. You can barely see my head peaking out in the picture! The little boy on the left really wanted to stand right in front of me during the picture and wouldn't move. It was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing!
Had the chance to explore a couple of the famous Phnom Penh markets. Here's a look inside and outside the Central Market (Psaa Thmay).
...And I also, for the first time, explored inside the Russian Market (Psaa Toul Tom Poung) which is right down the street from where I live.
My friend Rachel spotted this sign at the Russian Market and we all thought it was hilarious... not sure why "House" and "Road" are in quotes...seems like there's a hidden message..
