| Learning to cook Fish Amok |
Today we set of on the bus to visit the National Museum of Cambodia. It was a great place and there was a lot of old artifacts to be seen. After looking around the museum for a while we decided to leave and we went for a second visit to the Russian Markets. Later on we travelled to the slums where we could see a lot of the poverty that was happening in Cambodia. We visited David Bryce's T-shirt printing business (Just Tees) where David has given the kids job opportunities to get out of drugs and crime and earn money to continue their schooling.
One lucky group of students and three teachers went to the Cambodia Cooking Class for the morning. Our instructor, Heng, was a great guy - good english-speaking and funny. After a full immersion sensory experience buying ingredients in the local food market, we then worked together to make Chaio Yor (Fried Spring Rolls), Fresh Spring Rolls and Amok Fish (Red curry steamed in a banana-leaf cup). It was great to sit down and eat what we had cooked - the best Amok curry in Cambodia!
We then spent some time this evening reflecting on our devotions times throughout the trip. Everyone has been changed in some way; changed for the better.
Tonight we went to Romdeng restaurant. It is a training place for young street people. One of their specialties is fried tarantula! Some students and teachers ( Mr Swibel, Dr Skillen and Mr Williams) had one each.
Tomorrow is our last day. A long journey ahead of us; we will treasure our time in Cambodia.
