Party

In honour of my family visit and my impending departure from Kompong Thom, CoDeC held a party for us. All the staff went to great trouble to dress in Western clothes, while Sally and I turned up in Khmer style.

There were lots of speeches celebrating my time at CoDeC. The staff gave me a special gift - a silver handbag - and my parents/sister a ceremonial bowl set. We all took part in the Khmer dancing, and there was also some karaoke singing - but not by any Ridouts. A very happy evening.
