What did you have for breakfast today? Here there is a choice of two things, marinated pork and rice or noodle soup with meat or meat balls. I chose noodle soup. Once you loose the idea that the meal you are eating is breakfast then it is fine. I had a cup or two of hot green tea as you see from the picture.
When we are here we are almost never in hotels, restaurants or place that tourists go. I love the fact that we get to see, hear, taste and smell the country as it really is. It is an honour that I don't take for granted. There are lots of small things that remind me of that each day. One example is cutlery, there isn't any as we know it. Whether it is soup, rice or meat we use chopsticks and/or a small broad Asian-type spoon. Here is Sunniva in full control of a pair of chopsticks and a peace of meat at breakfast time. When we are hungry we learn to used them very effectively.
It was our last day in Tboung Khmum and a group photo taken. I particularly have struggled with the heat this morning. The room was very small and the air so heavy with humidity that your skin was always damp, not just arms and legs but every bit of skin was constantly hot and wet. We had only two fans for all these people.
Never the less we had a good day with teaching for us and group-work for the participants. Then we reviewed the last two days with the organisers and the last two years before coming to some conclusions about what happens next. Agenda 1 is in principle only two years long.
We then headed back to Phnom Penh to drop off the Ravnås family before continuing to Kandal province where we will spend two days holding Agenda 1 for church leaders and their leadership teams there. The journey to PP usually takes 4-6 hours but this time we were back in the capital in just over two hours!
