A Good Day For Beginnings

Well, it's after midnight and I am finally settled in Phnom Penh after one of the longest days ever...approximately 30 hours of flying time starting 6 AM on Sunday. I got into Phnom Penh at 10 PM on Monday night. Anyway, I need to go to sleep, but I will say that the city seems nice, a lot of French-style architecture. It is quite humid but apparently the "hot"months are over and we are entering the cooler monsoon season. I am staying at the Bridges Across Borders volunteer house with about 5 or 6 other interns and I think a few other BAB volunteers and workers too. The house is also the main BAB office so it's where I will be doing most of my work. I am a little overwhelmed, unsurprisingly, but also really excited to be here and get going. We don't start orientation for a couple of days so tomorrow I plan to explore a little bit with some of the other interns.

Time for bed...
