Day 3
So this morning we got up and we had the usual noodles. Roger was waiting for dropped food. We kept throwing food for him and Jeff said that if we kept it up we would be eating Roger. Then we got on our five hour bus ride to Battambang, but it was longer cuz we had so many stops. Ashley had her first encounter with the squatty potty when we stopped to change buses. Kelse' was really freaked out about it. Jen gave us all a lesson on how to use them. Then Randa and I switched buses. The other bus had all the luggage and it was really hot! We listened to the CD player for most of the ride. Steph and her husband were on our bus, so she allowed us to call home. It was really awesome to hear our parents voices, but they freaked out when they first heard us, because they thought something was wrong. Randa's call was cut short, because the phone went haywire and had no service. Halfway through the ride we stopped again and had to use squatty pottys, the girls on the first bus did a squatty potty dance for the camera while Steph took Ashley and I to get cokes for 25 cents. Then we got to Battambang. Our hotel was a lot different than our first hotel. The rooms were a little smaller, but they were cozy. The bathroom didn't really have a set shower, but it had a hose like a shower head. There was a internet place right next to the hotel and a phone to call home. After unpacking and resting a little we were going to the Rapha House. As we stepped off the bus the girls were lined in a row passing out flower necklaces. They called it the ""tunnel of love". We greeted them, hugged, and started talking with them. They were just like normal girls, just as Steph and Jen had said. Then they started the welcome party. They danced Khmer dances for us. We also got to celebrate National Children's Day with them, which was awesome too!! Then we had supper with them. We ate the rice just to be safe and some of the salad. Then we danced the night away with them. This was when Randa and I met our friends S and S. They were the ones that taught us to dance. They were such sweet girls. When we left they hugged us and said "sista u come back tomorrow so I see you". Then we got on the bus and headed back to the hotel. We had our devos. Then we went to our rooms. Randa and I got freaked out cuz our door shook some, and we thought it was a man trying to break in, so we got really scared, but it was just the wind. Then we could see the people walking by, or there shadow, through our curtain. We finally went to sleep and got some rest.
