shhort, gold teeth, a lot of excitement, and crazy cambodia
Wow what a week Ive had since last time...the week went on pretty normal and teaching was quite okay as well but Ill get back to that in a moment, first i wanna talk about the weekend :).
Im getting more and more convinced of the fact that Cambodia is totally... dont even know what word to use to describe it.... unbelievable(?)...
Friday was ehm.. fun.. hehe Michael threw himself a good bye party on a boat.. yep you can rent a boat for about ten dollars an hour to go up and down the river and have a party on it... and well... i met some pretty cool people but for the majority of people here it is actually really hard to get in contact with them.. (and it was even worse on saturday when we went out on a bar- im used to people being interested in making contacts when they go out but here nope...) its like they have thir little group of friends and thats enough for them... we'll see what happens... at lezast im glad i have the other five here so im not totally alone.. well anyways back to the point.. after the boat we went for pizza (YAY PIZZA! yumyum) and then back home... but okay so heres the real event of the evening worth telling but i will need to give you some background facts.. on Wednesday i think it was michael told me about this project hed gotten in touch with... let me start of with these three words:
really cool....
Saturday was cool had a nice morning, went for a bikeride to a book shop (books are more expensive here than they are at home ) and then teh evening as rather dull to be honest... went to a bar and then to another one and it really didnt gice anything.. oh welll
well sunday i didnt really do much but other people did... our neighbours were having a party and they had it not only on their driveway but on the neigbours next to them and our driveway as well.. this means that in order for us to get out to the street we had to walk right through the party.. and then next to the party were our driveway is extended kind of they had set up a provisional kitchen and i saw them cook a live fish about the size of my arm (OH MY GOD) but its funny hey cause well this is the general thing about cambodia they dont really think things through... oh okay so we're having a party and we need space therefore we will set up our party tent so it takes up like four peoples driveways but they dont realise that by doing this they are totally locking us in and that this is quite an inconvienance for us.. it really is interesting to how different their way of reasoning (or lack of it ) is compared to western standards... hmm...
osh gosh... sorry for being so sloppy in y writing and for tormenting you by writing this long..ill blame it on it being late and me being a bit too excited.. i think ill kleep the teaching part for tomorrow and then ill fill you in on what happend with the gangstas as well :D (super pschyked about it!! :D)
anyways... joum reap lear (bye in kmer... its coming along slowly..)

Dejligt at du skriver igen. Også dejligt at du ikke er syg mere, så nu kan du danse break-dance ;-)
