IN CAMBODIA!

I guess this is our first blog since we've arrived at Cambodia. I am... Sharon. Yes, I am now on-board and in-tune with everyone else. Basically, the plane ride over went very smoothly. The first part was about 17 hours long, which is a little too long for me. However, I think Jonathan and Darlene found it rather enjoyable, as they viewed movies together across the aisle. Emily did get plane sick, but not half as bad as her Urbana experience from what I've heard. On the ride over, she threw up three times during the entire 17 hour flight, and I believe none during the half an hour flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap. Currently, we're sitting in perhaps the most "heavenly" place we'll experience during this entire trip. Basically, it's on the second floor of this building. The place is filled with white furniture, and air conditioning. We're sitting on white chairs with a long glass table, but they also have these extremely comfortable looking white sofas along the edge of the room, and an open view of the streets outside on the far side of the room. I'm guessing our co-leaders decided on this place because they didn't want Darlene and I to "suffer" toooooo much on the first day. haha But actually, it's not that bad. Besides being dirt-filled (air and roads), the humidity of the area is somewhat like how it is in Hong Kong. So basically, that's all so far. We've been taking a lot of pictures, and uhh.... yeah. I apparently forgot to bring a lot of items, but besides that.. the trip's been pretty painless. :) Anyways, until next time.

Awh. Poor Emily. Well I guess that's only puking once every 5.3 hours, which isn't too bad. It could be much worse.
