The first day in Cambodia is normally a slow-paced, jarring experience as your body tries to make sense of what you just put it through. The sun is up at the opposite time, you're hungry but not sure about it, and sleepiness is around every top of the hour.
This time, I had to fight it hard. I had meetings at the Provincial Teacher Training College (PTTC) to coordinate work for next week, needed to check into the New New Riverside, and even worked in an introductory class in the afternoon at PTTC to refine the topics.
Somehow I made it through the day and enjoyed about 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep. We will probably spend some time going to villages and doing more assessments for activity next week.
Oh, did I mention it was the New New Riverside? Our wonderful hosts are putting the finishing touches on their new hotel. It's not ready for guests but they were nice enough to let us stay with them during the construction. The building practices here still amaze me, as evidenced by the way they do work between two balconies by carefully placing a ladder held only by some thin rope...
