Boat trip with the college students

We took the college students on a dinner/boat ride the other night... bought some chicken, bread, rice (of course) and some other things, and then rented a boat for a couple of hours... they had a good time, and as you can see, a little too much fun with the karaoke...





















What a friend

This character is always running around where Seda lives and crowing as loud as possible at all hours of the day and night... someone finally tied him up...

New Style?

Someone will have to tell me if this is a new style in the States... I did not see it there before I left... I have seen so many shirts like this in Cambodia... letters that are jumbled up to look like words, but spell nothing... wierd...

Water Festival: The Aftermath

This is a LOT of garbage... too bad, that many of the people really don't care at all...

Gospel Commission Fellowship/Asia's Hope Student Center

Here are a few pictures of the new facility for Gospel Commission Fellowship as well as the student center for Asia's Hope... I believe the first services are there this weekend... Savong and Narin and several workers have been hard at work...




A drum set

A drum set seems to change the atmosphere of a room instantly, no matter what continent you are on... I set this one up the other day for the church... (Sopheap was laughing at me - he said, "You are still a music teacher!")... it needs to have a few adjustmemts to it so that it does not ring so much in the very open room, but it is a good addition...

One of the most patient men on earth

Here is a picture of my Khmer language teacher, Nara... he has been a tremendous help in learning the language... we have developed a good relationship, and I know that I have A LOT more to learn from him...

The new Honda

I may have changed continents, but not transportation companies... always stick with Honda...

Water Festival: The Police


Water Festival: The Sellers

There is ALWAYS someone selling SOMETHING...
you never know what you will see... these are just a few pictures...




Water Festival: The Boats

Here are a few pictures of the boats during the boat races... or competitions (a word that my English I students learned this past week)... they are really just huge canoes with about 50 guys paddling and one guy blowing a whistle so they will row all at the same time...

This is one of the famous 'light' boats that they pull into the water at night for everyone to see...

... Seda noticed that even James Bond had his own boat...
