So admittedly I am not the best about keeping an updated blog. I guess part of me is stuck between living my everyday life, which is somewhat boring, and all the new and different things about living in a foreign country. And...the other part of me is pretty lazy.

So in the past few weeks I have been continuing to teach, when there isn't a holiday, which so far seems 50/50. I've learned a few more of my students names and been assigning very regular homework, much to their chagrin. Of course that leaves me with a pile of grading which I still have to go back and finish after this week-long holiday. Hopefully by this point I will be able to better know what their ability levels are and whether they are understanding anything I'm saying.

Over the long weekend a while back Christa and I headed out to Prey Veng in an effort to relax and ward off onsetting culture shock. We went for a bike ride in the afternoon and luckily didn't get rained on. I also got to go out moto riding with Scott and practice driving on unpaved, muddy roads. Quite a different experience than driving in Phnom Penh traffic.

This past weekend Christa, Amy and I headed up to the provincial town of Koh Kong. It is a pretty small town, but we were able to get out on motodupes to see some very nice waterfalls and beach.

Since then I have been back in Phnom Penh but have apparently come down with some kind of bug which prevented me from getting to see the boat races at the beginning of the week, but hopefully I'll get to see some later.
