It has been a rapid and frantic 36 hours in Cambodia. On our first morning we were picked up by an Asian Hope staff member and given the full tour of the entire city. As I tried follow our path on a map, our guide showed us all the places we will need to know to survive - the good restaurants, the best place for ice cream and pharmacy where we can purchase our anti-worm pills. We took photos for our drivers license in the back room of a roadside market and purchased helmets for our new moto. Leanne will look good in her bubblegum-pink and I in my replica Speedracer helmet.
This morning, we met Ming the Moto guy and purchased our scooter. In my mind, I would be driving a mean looking motorcycle, popping wheelies like a rapper in a DMX video. However, we purchased the more mundane and efficient Citi-Plus 100 cc scooter. Essentially it is a Prius on two wheels.
Our temporary housing is great. It has been without electricity for the last 24 hours but it gives us a place to sleep. This morning our water was delivered and as I helped the delivery man carry the jugs of water into the house I was sweating like a contestant on the Biggest Loser. Ridiculous. All in all we are doing well and are excited about what the Lord has in store for us here in Cambodia. Pray for our safety as we learn to drive our moto in this busy place.
Pictures will come once we can find a fast internet connection to upload them onto the blog. Peace - Chris
