We flew into Phenom Penn, and our driver took me to a grocery store to stock up!!! There is no grocery store in Kampong Thom. This province is about a three hour drive from Phenom Penn. So it is waaaaaayyyyyyy out in the countryside. The local market has fruits, vegetables, and meats for sale. The market is quite an eye opening experience........it's not easy for me to shop there. Sometimes it is difficult to even find TOILET PAPER! WHY??? This is a third world country in Asia! It's amazing that as Americans we don't realize what "luxuries" we have that we take for granted!! In America, we really do HAVE IT ALL!!
We have a cook that will cook our dinners for us while in Cambodia, for $25 a week~~you can't beat that!!
About Our Family
- Art On A Kart
- In April of 2012, I began relief teaching at EtonHouse International School, in Singapore! (The school where my oldest daughter, PE, attends!) I began relief teaching to earn extra spending money for my upcoming trip to China!! One day the administrator came to me and offered me a job......TEACHING ART! Not READING, not MATH, not WRITING, not SCIENCE, not SOCIAL STUDIES......but ART!! I was excited and overwhelmed. WHY????!!!! I had never taught JUST ART. How do you begin to teach art? What do you tell the children? What do I teach other than painting and cutting paper? What a challenge I was about to undertake...... A dear friend had recently told me, "Good teaching is good teaching. If you are a good teacher, you can TEACH ANYTHING!! You have the skills and the experience, and you understand best teaching practices." "Ok", I thought......maybe I CAN DO THIS! I decided I would engage in this challenge and it would definately be a HANDS ON LEARNING EXPERIENCE!! I was just a little scared......
I hadn't even thought about the toilet paper! So glad you had a cook. Huge help!
