Better late and free then pay and soon!
Okay so it is Friday again and I know that I said that I would update my journal sooner than this but honestly... This is the first time I have had a chance to do it. The weekend went well, Friday I went to a friends and we just had a quiet night of things. Then Saturday was Leslie's birthday party. It was fun we went to a french place for dinner Comme La Maison. It was yummy! Then we went to Rubies which is a nice little pub like bar. I started with a Sprite and Redbull Then moved to red wine. Then off to one of the three dance clubs Riverside Lounge. Where I met a charming Khmer fellow who is not only the bouncer at the club but Leslie's trainer at the gym... He is sooooo yummy! Nice eye candy! I call him Dom even though that is his last name it is the easier to say and remember. He was the second runner up in the Mr. Cambodia body building competitions last year and is hoping to be first this year. Then Sunday we had plenty of black-outs (which are very common here) so I slept. Even God took that day to rest so I figured... why not! Then again it was Monday and school...Mondya wasn't that bad, and I am working with my grade one's on Hello, Hi, Good Bye and Bye. My Name is... and the phrase of the week is 'Can I go to the toilet please?' I love my grade one's but some are too young to be in school yet let alone grade one. I do have my favorites (eventhough I'm not supposed to) I have one little girl Hay Pichharopon (and I though Jacqueline was a cruel name, Hay BTW is her last name) she's about 3 or 4 years old, and someone yesterday was bullying her and she started to cry. It was my first crier as we the grade one teachers call them. I don't really like my grades 4,5,6,7,8 class they're just aggrivating. Although my grade 10's are suprising me! Their all pretty cool, I got in good with them today as well as wel talked about Footie, WWE wrestling (which is HUGE here!) , Music and pool/snooker. There are definatly a few in that class though that are just going to fail... then their parents will pay and they will pass. Sigh. But that is the way things work here, if you have the green you can do anything! I got myself a helmut and a good moto-dop driver. He is an older fellow who not only drives slow, has mirrors, and a working light... but speaks french! Alot of the older Khmer speak french here, not many of the younger generations though. So I am more relaxed on Moto's now. I figure I might as well relax instead of being tense, because if we get in an accident I would rather be limp then tense and broken! I'm up to 9 moto accidents seen now, still only 3 fatalities. It's just another part of Khmer life that I am adjusting to. Anyways I need to cut this off now as class is about to begin... so I'll write more in my spare before I go home... I have plenty more to write about. Love you all!!!
