These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

So each night at dinner we each share our favorite thing from the day, one thing we are most thankful for from that day, and the worst thing for that day.  Today my favorite thing was quite funny and I just had to share.  So I figured I could throw in a few more favorites to give you a little taste of our time here.

Do you speak English?... Today the translator, Ratanak tells Tim that one of the disciples had asked if Cody spoke English.  Apparently Cody is a man of so few words that the locals figured he couldn't speak English! I'm still chuckling at that one :)

Tuk Tuks and Traffic...  The roads are a mess, but it's all great fun if you're not in a hurry and you're riding in a tuk tuk.  Driving on the wrong side of the road is totally fine as long as you give a courtesy honk, road signs and painted lines are only suggestions.  Five on a moto, no problem

Punch-A-Monk... No we are not harming  the men in orange.  It's a fun new car game!  Whenever you see a  monk getting. Ride on a moto or in a tuk tuk you yell punch a monk and lightly hit the person next to you.  Don't sit next to Shawna, she's not so good at the lightly part of the game.

Bal teat...  Soccer! (It's a big thing here) we get to play with the guys and kids after kids club on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Just like home for me.  Well except  the field is an actual field  and the goals are two logs sticking out of the ground wth a string tied across.  And keep away from Justin and Cody, they're a little intense.

Mexican food in Phnom Penh...  There is food everywhere.  You can't walk five feet without running into a food vendor!  Okay that may be a bit of an exaggeration, more like eight and a half.  Restaurants, cafés, carts, converted motos, you name it.  And it's anything you  can imagine.  Frogs, bugs, coconuts, durian, popcorn, cotton candy and the ever popular baby chick in a hard cooked egg.  Who would have thought you could get a taco in Cambodia?  Not me.

Rock A Bye Baby...  Mary found the nursery and  has secured herself  a position there.  She helps out first thing in the morning until lunchtime everyday.  The babies are handled a little differently here though.  For example diapers  seem to be optional and  Mary's pant leg fell victim to a stinky surprise.  We stopped by a market on the way home that day and Mary bought two packs of diapers for the nursery.

This list could go on and on, but I must get some rest.  Can't wait to see what's in store for tomorrow. Because as we were told when we arrived here, "everything's written in jello."
