Sweat:Work:Paradise 4-20-11

Sweat, work and paradise are the three things to describe my whole day. First I sweat miles and miles in the Cha's farm. It was still not that hot but I was also breaking my back working on the ground and around the trashy farm. Our goal today was to turn the farm upside down to go from crappy farm to fancy farm. There was an insane amount of glass, plastic wrappers,and trash all over the farm. We needed to make it a safe and clean enviroment for the kids and animals to play in. We worked for hours and hours of doing hard work such as: picking the trash up, taking rocks to fill holes, and levating the ground with mud. Doesn't sound like much but doing it for five hours and its 80-90 degrees outside, wow way too much sweat. It all payed off though because in the end the kids were happy and now we can buy pigs and chicken and fish without having to worry they'll get dieseases or hurt. Now it's time for my paradise part of the day. We went to the VIP sports club, yep that's right delicious food, swimming, and fish massages. Let me just say I had the best drink of my life there a pineapple smoothie it was so delicious and the best fried rice EVER. Then just to top it off I got to stick my feet in a fish tank!! Sounds amazing right? These little tiny fish suck all the gunk off your feet and smooth them out. Tickles here and there but very relaxing. The HUGE pool with an amazing patio is where we spent all of our time.The water is great tempature to cool off and make the sweat vanish. Badda Bing Badda Boom and now i'm here at the internet cafe. Watching the crazy tuk-tuk and moto drivers crowding the street. This may not seem like much but it represent the Khmer culture to me. There all close and friendly, and loving eachother in this peaceful country of theirs. Well so excited to go work at the orphanage again and spend more and more time with my sisters and brothers that I love. Wish me luck on not getting eaten alive by the bugs here while I try to enjoy my dinner by the riverside.
