Great excitement today to be going back to Takeo and see the kids

Rhian and Jon are on they back to so we decided to share a taxi rather than bus it
Arrived at the hostel about 2.00 what a reception the staff where so pleased iI was back it was lovely,dropped the bags of, and Mom took us straight away on TukTuk.
Well I cannot explain the experience today, those kids where so excited to see me one by one they came running up, some were at school but as they came home the same reception. Wouldn't have missed that feeling for anything, although they did tell me off as I had told them the 15 th and said they had been waiting bless them.

Also we have a new baby, little girl born on the 1st Dec to Bong Seng the manager and his wife.

I can't believe it's nearly Xmas there is an odd tree up here and there, but not that much, Vietnam go for it more decorations everywhere, I guess it depends on the religion.

Everyone is back here now so there is quite a crowd of us. Some of them have done a just giving page to raise money for Xmas day party which they got there target £1000 so have organised a stage band singers and food for 65 people still can't understand why it cost that much, you could even have a bloody good party on that in UK . The target is exceeding what they wanted so not sure what will be done with the rest.

Ann & Beauty Retreat have also been raising monies so depending on how much I will decide what to do with it then.
One of them girls come up to me today and asked if I was still going to buy them knickers, as I had mentioned it, before going away. Can you imagine being excited for a pair of pants for Xmas .

I have my old room back and have unpacked everything which is a good feeling after living out of my bag for 4 weeks. Not sure how long I'm staying, the kids asked me, I just looked at them and wondered how I am going to leave.
But I have more of Cambodia to visit and planning to be in Australia for about the 8/10th January so I'm not here long.
It's amazingly not as hot here as before my skin is not leaking quite a good heat, although still need the fan.

Well bed for me after another full day, I'm quite looking forward to the rest in Aussie maybe lay on a beach for couple of days. We will see.
