Here in the Phnom Penh Heat

We arrived in Phnom Penh on Tuesday evening 22 July after a short stop over in Singapore. The kids handled the flights well, it appears Nathan is nolonger afraid of flying. We were met by a staff member from the school who picked us up and brought us into town. We stayed the first night at the house of the school Principals, Mark and Jane Prothero and their children Eden and Alfie. It was good to meet others from the school and for the kids to start to make friends. The next day even more staff members dropped by to say hello. We were later taken for a small shopping trip to Lucky's supermarket before coming to the house which we are subletting for six months.

First impressions: Phnom Penh is bustling, loud, poor, hot and smells like cooking spices, - for me the smell is almost sickening at times, but I am sure I will adjust.
