Wow, today was the hottest and one of the longest days. It started off with me getting up at 6:20 and not being able to find my important bag. This bag had about $40, my debet card, my membership to the VIP Sports Club, and my room key. By 7:00 still hadent found anything...7:40 everyone has left the room and eatin their breakfast and we are leving in 5 minutes, i still havent found it. 7:43, Lisa-Marie walks in to help and finds the pack in less the two minutes. I feel like a total idiot. We start off by going to the internet place were we attemp to skype, i say attempt because only one of the seven off us had skype actually work. Oh well. After the internet cafe we head to the orphanage, we arrive and everyone says to me "Hello brother"," how are you brother?''. Then i get poke and chased for about 10 minutes and all of us have a few laughs. We hung at the orphanage till about 3:00. this was the first day that i was upset to leave the kids, this was the first day that i really got attached to them. All of the kids are so nice and are really awesome. We gave each kid a set of new clothes and they were sooooo excided. My two personal facorite kids are 14 year old THONG, and 13 year old BONLU. Both kids are really cool. BONLU goes to privet school, he is one of the three kids at the orphanages that get to do this. It cost $500 for a kid to go to privet school, with no extra costs, BONLU is sponsered by someone who pays fo his school... if you would like to sponser a child to get a good education go on to http://www.childrensglobalallience.com/. this would change a kids life.
After the orphanage we came back to the hotel to be picked up for our city tour. We saw the olympic stadium, the monument for the woman that founded phnom phenn, and the building that marks the highest part in the city of phnom phenn. It was a great day and i was happy to be back to the hotel and go to bed. The trip has been a great success so far and i am looking forward to the end of the trip... I hope you will be able to sponser a child!
