In Cambodia day one
We made It!! after 38 hours of travel from home. We were met at the airport by several high level government officials and whisked past customs and immigration (wow I feel like a VIP) We were taken to our hotel and met for over an hour with the col. in charge of all police training for the Cambodian government (all on no sleep) we talked extensively about future EMS plans and this years training for Cambodia. I feel really good about what we’re doing here. It's a good thing.
The only problem so far is Gary Howe's bags did not arrive, lost in Bangkok apparently, we’re hopping to see them today. (Sunday)
We did go to a large market so Gary could get some clean --- well you can guess. lot's of cheep knock off brand label poor quality goods real cheep, (North Face packs for less than $10.00) and I think that's about what they were worth based on the quality. I hope Gary's new underwear hold up till his arrives.
Today one of our plans is to go to the fire dept. and evaluate to status to the fire truck and equipment that was sent over last year. I can see we will be as busy as I had planned on.
The country it's self doesn’t seen to be to much different than any city in Thailand, the normal hustle bustle of any Asian city, friendly people. I'm anxious to see what it is like out side of Phnom Phen, I'm guessing the poverty may be much more extreme.
