Swiss Fondue, a traditional Cambodian dish...

We had a really good day yestrday. Both cases went very smoothly - after a week and a half here, we're moving like a well-oiled machine!! (OK, maybe not well-oiled, but we're getting SO much better now that we've got a "system"). What's funny is that we just troop into the ORs now as if it's home - so different from the first day when we definitely felt like Strangers in a Strange Land!

We had dinner at, yes folks, a Swiss restaurant - with the amazing Dr. Saran who built the village I discussed a little yesterday. He survived the Khmer Rouge invasion over 30 years ago, and shared with us his incredible and heart-breaking story. I'm going to do a whole seperate blog on him and his village with the clinic and school because I want to do it justice.

But here I want to catch up with a couple of randome thoughts (again!) and funny pics..

Assorted quotes from our trip thus far...

"I am SOOOOOO going to do that  Happy Feet Fish Massage thing!!!!" - Alida N.

"ME TOO!!" - Kris C.


"Give me four advil, a Tiger Beer, and a shower - and I'm good to go!!" - Kevin D.

"Remember, it's CamBOdia..." - said by any of us when we begin to expect things to go at the speed of the US..

"And the ladies will once again be scented with the intoxicating "Eau de DEET", with just a hint of "Eau de Beer" - Marilyn H.

"When you cross da street, be careful... Walk straight, don't look around - just watch for da cars. Motorcycles, bikes and tuk-tuks will swerve around you, but those cars will run you down..." - Van Driver  

"Oh, that's a good shot - you got FIVE of them on one motorbike!!" - John B.
     (That was the first day when we thought five was a lot - we now realize that's pretty conservative)..



Got to go to breakfast... I've got about a million more hilarious quotes from here...Two more cases today, pretty big ones. These will be our last since we got to the Killing Fields, etc. tomorrow before we leave on Saturday...
