Hey everyone
Wednesday lunch time I went to a beauty salon near my work to do girly stuff and when I left it tipped it down, I have never seen rain like it, not even when we went to Sihanoukville!I only had my umbrella on me and I walked back to work in water that was nearly knee deep!I was so drenched when I got back to work, they found it hilarious!!
When I got back from work me and Charlotte went and did some shopping at a place called Elsewhere which is also a bar/restaurant, we bought a couple of things and then went to another bar called Gasolina for a salsa dancing lesson. It was quite good fun although the teacher aparantly wasn't all that great, Charlotte has been going for 6 months at home and she said he was doing everything to fast and the music didnt fit with the steps, so we are going to find somewhere else to do it next time
On Thursday I started helping out a lot more with English as more of the girls are starting to practise with me, they read some short stories to me and their pronounciation is actually really good!
After work me and Charlotte went and got a manicure and pedicure at a salon called Bella which only cost like £2.50, so cheap! We then went to a quiz at a bar called the lazy gecho which was good fun even though we lost!!
Work on Friday was a bit more interesing as they taught me some new techniques and I cut all the card designs out. Kim Tha and Thai Ly are going to take me to the market next weekend to where they buy the silk and also soon will take me to see where the get their silk weaved which will be really interesting!In the evening we went to Friends restaurant and then to the Elsewhere party, they have one every 1st friday of the month and loads of back packers go, it was a wicked night!
On Saturday morning we went to the JCA orphanage where Steph and Charlotte work and painted the walls, it was really good we got all the kids envolved and they loved it, we did a really good job, it looked great. In the evening we went to Lemongrass which is a really nice thai restaurant and then to Pontoon a really nice bar which floats on the river, v.nice!!!
Today we went early to the Russian market to do some shopping, surprise surprise!It was so hot today its disgusting, you spend the whole day being drenched through!
We then went to the Royal Palace and Silver pagoda, our first real bit of sight seeing, it was absolutely amazing, so beautiful!! There were loads of monks walking around and they let us take pics.Loads of the Khmeres took pics of us, they are so amazed by westerners, its really funny!
Any way will go now its 10:30 here so need to go back to bed have to get up early to go to work!!
Bye for now
Lots of love and hugs
