Getting comfortable with the familiar and the unfamiliar.

As we began our day, we decided that we needed to keep busy in order to overcome Jet Lag.  We found sleep left us in the middle of the night, so we should stay awake during the day.  The familiar coffee shop, Joma, was welcomed with a good breakfast and good coffee.  Then we needed to pick up some items that we did not bring with us, so did a little shopping.  Then the unfamiliar hit us.  We forgot to bring our map with us and were not sure how to get back to the Best Center.  Most Tuk Tuk drivers now have phones or tablets that they can use to get us where we need to go.  The vehicles they drive are also different than in the past.  We will try to get a picture soon to post.  Just one of the changes we see in Phnom Penh each year.  There is no better way to adapt than to get in the middle of traffic in this huge city.  

SAFE AND ENJOYABLE ARRIVAL

Our 2 month stay in Cambodia has begun.  After over a 30 hour trip by air we were greeted at the Airport by Dara and Julie at about 11:00 pm.  Needless to say we were ready for the  bed that had been prepared for us.  It is evening on January 5th and again we are ready for sleep.  I do hope that the sleep tonight will prepare us for our mission here and that Jet Lag will not hinder us. We are now unpacked and have been greeted warmly by our former students and a few new ones.  We look forward to beginning our study with them on Monday.
