THURSDAY, JULY 1While Canada Day is winding down for us here in Cambodia, many of you in Canada are just beginning the July 1 holiday. We have had an action-packed couple of days, even though we lost several hours of one of those days by crossing the international date line enroute from Vancouver to Hong Kong. While the 12 hours on the plane seemed, at times, to pass very slowly, most of us emerged from the plane in Hong Kong with an enthusiastic vision for the day ahead (not to mention a strong dedication to finding a good coffee shop!).
One Dragon Air flight later and we arrived at our final destination of Phnom Penh. The ride from the airport (in a much appreciated air conditioned van) had everyone mesmerized and mostly speechless as we each took in the sights, sounds, smells, and high humidity of this fabulous capital city of Cambodia.
Several hours later, having now figured out hotel internet connections, where to buy water, where not to use a banking machine, and which dishes are best at the hotel restaurant, we are ready to get a good night's rest before we meet and spend the day with our D&P partners tomorrow. And tomorrow promises to be full of new learning experiences and stories to share... so stay tuned!

Happy Canada Day to you all! Glad to hear you have all arrived well. It's a cool 15C and drizzly here in Abbotsford. We could use a bit of your heat. Looking forward to your next post. Cheers, John
