Cambodia Pt 3

As promised,the third episode of our Cambodia Adventure...

We started the day by having breakfast as usual. Azmi and I were the first to go to the restaurant for the second time in a row! Doesn't anyone wake up early these days? Anyway, we started the day's tour by taking the bus to the orphanage where we were supposed to do handicrafts and cook for the children. (I won't say orphans as it's damn hurting)

The children from the orphanage

But first,it was Contribution Time as we gave sweets and stuff to the children and like what people say,yes you do feel a sense of goodness when you do something like this. Then we were off to the market. (well,except for Azmi and Jia Hao as they stayed with the rest to do the handicrafts first) During the bus ride,Brennan did a stupid chicken imitation in front of my video camera while I was using it for no reason. We also decided what to buy at the market.

The market. It was HELL. The place was wet,cramped and the placed smelled of guts and other dead animals' meat. I almost became a vegetarian when I saw the people ripping the guts out of the dead,"de-feathered" chicken. I heaved a sigh of relief when we left.

Back at the orphanage,we gave the ingredients to Azmi and Jia Hao and basically said "Good Luck cooking,bye!" and went to do the handicrafts. I tell you the children are SKILLED. If this is not "pro-ness" then I don't know what is.

After doing the handicrafts we left the orphanage and went for lunch. After that,we went to...

A secondary school where we had to teach them English. The main teachers...Azmi and Adam!!! Yay!!! The rest of us mainly slacked. Then we went to look around the school and came across this...

In case you are wondering what the students were doing,they were playing a game in which the rules were something like this:

1. Form two teams.
2. Make a whip like thingy out of used cloth and tie them together with rubber bands.
3. One team throws the whip to the other team and whoever catches it can whip one person from the opposing team.
4. No winners. Just for fun.

No,the whip does not hurt. ONLY if you hear a cracking sound. If not,it's going to be a little painful..

We then went for dinner and of course,had more pillow fights and HALO. It's kinda like some ritual we go through...

Cambodia pt 4 coming up in about a month or so...
