The snacks between sessions here are fruit or a something, I write something because I have no idea what to call it. See the picture below. It is rice with some sort of fruit for flavour which has been steamed while wrapped in a palm leaf. The leaf is not to be eaten but the inside is.
More teaching, then making plans to present to the other groups. We finish with prayer for each church team. After that it was lunchtime. The food here tastes good if you just close your eyes to what you are eating. On the picture below you see fish soup, green beans with pork and chicken with noodles and ginger strands. All is fine but every part of the animal is eaten, even the toes of a chicken and the entrails too which means every mouthful is potentially an unexpected texture or flavour.
After we finished lunch it was home time for the participants while we had a review of the two days with the local organizers. Here is a team or two heading home in a motorbike trailer.
The village shop was just by the church gate.
Before leaving the area we stopped to buy a durian fruit to taste. For more about it follow this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian Neither I nor Anne Kate liked it but Steve and Tom Kenneth thought it was nice.
The next thing today was the journey down to Chhuk which meant 6 hours bouncing along in a minibus. We went over the famous Mekong river, for more about it see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mekong
We crossed it on this impressive new bridge.
As a snack on the journey south we were able to try roasted crickets. Tom Kenneth wants to try everything which is new, we ladies are not so brave! He said they were nice, we believed him but weren't tempted to try.
Now you see it... now you don't!
Although the drive has been long there has been lots to see, here is a taste of Cambodia:
But now it's bed time what a lovely bed too. It's a shame I will have to destroy the towel swan when I take a shower.
