*todays day started with... yep you guessed it...OMLETTE !!!
took a van ride to the village called "ummmmm" because nobody seems to know whats its called, only that it is pastor sythes village. we travelled into the village on a motorbike track . Our translator Lina had to get out and measure the front of the van with a stick and then measure the space in which we had to squeeze thru, we only just fit and nearly took out the mango plantation on the way! (oops)
*We set up our stations in record time as we now have this down to a fine art. The villagers appeared in reasonable health in comparison to previous clinics. Lots of gorgeous children to play with, juggling, wizzy dizzies, hairbraiding, nursery rhymes and stickers with lots of cuddles and giggles. and one particular old lady with the gummiest smile won over our hearts, we dont think she had seen a picture of herself in a photo before , her reaction was priceless.Lots of large families of seven and eight children presented today, about 350 people seen today. Didnt seem so much though as our environment was so beautiful and the people so jolly. Carly made the mistake of not urinating pre clinic today and was the first to visit and rate the facilities 1/10.
A wonder around the markets when we got back today "fried frog anyone" ? i think we have found the cambodian childs freddo frog!! A few of the girls had skirts made by a local taylor. The tailor was quite happy to give her gorgeous baby away to Simone who thought that a skirt and baby was a food deal for $9.
some good video footage was taken of them doing traditional cambodian dancing, although this quickly turned into the 'Nutbush'.
So as we get ready to lay our weary heads down to prepare for our 3 hour trip to Battambong tomorrow, we bid you farewell and wish you all well. Until the next exciting installment of the NKIC blog
