It was July 1st as we arrived to Phnom Penh airport . We were welcomed by Namji , member of the East-West Center whom have sponsored this trip.
We took a van to Sunway Hotel and were checked in. I was roomed with one of the students from Honolulu and one from New York.Later that night around 6 we went to go eat at a local restaurant named Khmer Surin . Fun fact : cambodians don't use chop sticks , but because it is a stereotype by westerns , most restaurants give them anyways. We enjoyed the food we hadfor dinner there. We actually had to take our shoes off before we entered the dinning room and were sat on the floor with pillows. we then rode TukTuks back to the hotel. We soon fell asleep.
