We left Phnom Penh on Monday morning and traveled to Sihanoukville. It's the third largest city in Cambodia and it's on the Gulf of Thailand. We traveled by 2 buses and a van. We started at the hotel and traveled on one bus. Then we made it to the bus stop in Phnom Penh and transferred to another bus. It was intense. The first bus was a party bus and the second was not even a little bit a party bus. The first bus had karaoke. It was unreadable in Khami but still fun. The second bus was a public bus. There were lots of friendly natives on the bus. We watched the movie Wanted with Angelina Jolie and my new BFF Morgan Freeman. Good flick, kinda dirty.
We got to Sihanoukville without incident and made it to Life University on Monday afternoon. Our living conditions are less than desirable. The bathrooms are windowless and the lights don't work. The shower is a hose and a nozzle. No drain, no tub. And there is no wireless. Well, there is in the teachers lounge and they close at 8. Its kind of sucky. Oh, and the stairs are not level. Any of them. And yeah, it makes it hard to walk.
The kids are AMAZING! I am so in love with them and I have felt a huge sigh of relief that I chose the right profession. I will never forget this experience. I have so many stories.
The beaches are phenomenal. It's ridiculously gorgeous and my words will not do them justice. Not even a little. Yesterday, while I was swimming in the Gulf of Thailand, there was a rainstorm, I was already wet so I kept swimming. It was epic.
I come home in a week. I am ready but will leave a tiny piece of my heart in Cambodia. Love you guys.
