Hello from Siem Reap!!

Made it through customs alive - the officers there were rather grumpy. But the lovely Cambodian woman that picked me from the airport who works for Interweave made up for that :)

We rode back to the guest house togther on the back of a bike - rather bumpy and dusty but super fun! She then showed me round my accommodation.

I am sleeping in a "hut" with 2 other girls. We have an outside shower and toilet and have to wear barefeet in every room - everything is so tropical. 

All the other volunteers are so friendly. I was the last to arrive so they were all waiting for me outside and ran over and gave me a big hug when I got here. Was such a nice welcome.

We are having a big dinner together tonight before the 4 day orientation starts tomorrow! A big package was waiting on my bed with all the details and so much exciting stuff to read.

The guest house is awesome - its made up of big huts that are joined together with hammocks and lounges inbetween. It has two kitchens, a library, a tv room and big outdoor area. It feels like I'm on school camp!

Well I better go and be socialable now - so many new names to learn :)

Everything is so foreign and little overwhelming, but I think I am going to have a blast!

I have the day off on Sunday, so will take some photos and post a big update then. Enjoy the rest of your week xx
