Weird day yesterday. My landlord came over. I was wondering if he would give me my deposit at the end cause I had been told I can kiss that money goodbye, but he's so sweet, he ended up taking me with his wife to a shabu shabu and sushi buffet. I thought there would be nothing to eat and it ended up being so great! They took me to show me some of the sights and even saw that I liked corn and insisted on buying me some as they bought their kids at home some. It was a really pleasant evening. They both lived through the pol pot regime and were giving me their insight and how proud they are of cambodia. It was interesting and cool to hear. Its amazing how much we can miss about life and perspective if we don't meet people and hear their stories. Everyone is so different and brings such a different view point.
After my landlord left I got ready for class. Given the king's death and people still on holiday we had only 2 come :) but it was great. Michael got to see how much they have learned and sit there and watch how much they can do without help. They have come a huge way and they are growing with leaps and bounds. Especially R. Our boy R got a different job and left! It was sad. We are going to track him down and see if he still wants to learn.
The rooms I had at the cafe they decided to give to someone else. I got an email in the morning regarding that. But since they had given their word they wanted to see if they could work something out. So they are giving up their classroom free of charge. We will have to work out times, but otherwise they even have a place to lock the computers and I can put up my posters up and we'll have more money to hire more teachers now too! Now just pray for teachers! Good teachers!! Thanks!!
Also pray for me, lots of things going on and decisions I need to make. Gotto sell a lot of stuff and figure a lot out before I leave.
Thanks!!
