It's Tuesday! We arrived in Poipet in the early afternoon after a 4-hour minibus run from Bangkok, along very good roads. It was a bit scary; there's a space on the road so the driver just goes into it. The trip from Edinburgh was ... eventful: a plane that was delayed by 90 minutes; a half-hour connection from Terminal 5 to Terminal 3; the result: we made the flight, but 7 pieces of luggage didn't! we're told it will arrive from Siem Reap tomorrow!
Tonight we've eaten sticky rice with bananas; had a coffee ice cream smoothie; been given a trip round Chomno's new vision, the Hope Transformation Centre and met lots of other volunteers who are here.
IT IS VERY HOT! By 4pm this afternoon, it was raining, with thunder and lightening and the streets turned to mud and the group of boys playing volleyball gave up as their court turned to a giant puddle.
Despite the problems, we're all excited to be here and are looking forward to seeing CHO's work tomorrow.
