Today we had breakfast down at the Club Lounge. It was buffet with fresh fruits, American style food and even fresh fish! Then we took the MTR train to the Filipino church. It was mostly made up of females and I saw only three males there plus the American pastor. The service was in English and afterwards they had a small potluck. We got to fellowship with some of the ladies before returning to our hotel to relax. While my three companions relaxed and caught up ...

We got up early again to eat breakfast and our taxi arrived at the house at 8am. We were at the airport by 8:30am and couldn't check in for another hour. So Aunti Elvie waited with us, supposedly we could check in by 9:45 but it wasn't until 10am that the sign changed and allowed us to check in.

All the things you could imagine they had it there and from what we herd it was a popular tou...

We left Siem Reap at 8am this morning to go to Phnom Phen. A taxi picked us up and the trip took 5 hours. Fortunately the road was paved this time and a little bit smoother than yesterdays ride!

Cows are mostly white and I could see the bones sticking out. I was warned n...

Today we left Poipet early at 6am so we could get to Siem Reap which is the city right near Angkor Wat. The taxi picked us up at the house and we just had coffee before saying our goodbyes. Who knows if we will ever see the people at Poipet again unless it is in Heaven? But the time of fellowship we had was very memorable. Aunt Marylou had warned us about how extremely bumpy the ride was going to be, with the unpaved roads as the main highway. I saw plenty of ver...
