The only part of language training I do not like is the cycle ride I am not good on a bike and have managed to fall off once already and to skittle two pedestrians I have been chased by a pack of wild dogs on the only day I decided to cycle on my own but I will master it!!!
Here are a couple of pictures of our class and Dara our teacher who is brilliant
I would never have beleived that I would be able to make up short sentences and make myself understood in the market and restaurants in such a short time
I go to the same place for coffee/lunch every day and one of the young waiters there has taken me on (probably as a personal challenge) and speaks K'mai to me

Next to me is Dave my surrogate son he is going to work in livelihood projects forestry and fishing Andre' behind and Daniel behind him he is a teacher from Uganda.Across from Daniel is John from Ireland who is doing a similar job to mine but with the Cambodian Teachers Association and on the front row Janet a head teacher and Dave her husband.
Our teacher Dara at the front
Hello Kath, great to see you and hear your news. You look well and happy. Take care on that bike, it is not you I am concerned about but the population of Cambodia with your cycling skills ! The golden girls are meeting next month, your blog will be the centre of our conversations I have no doubt.
