    Dang. Wish I would have gone to check out the hospital. Glad I didn’t HAVE to though. Those red eyes must have made you extra handsome, huh?

      Bought some $2 sunglasses at the market – I think that’s what made me so handsome.
      That storm was amazing. I’ll have to tell you the rest of the story sometime!

      The kids don’t always listen, but they spend their time in class making cards and gifts for me. Can’t complain.

      One of the kids took that cow photo. I was impressed. No selfies yet, but another volunteer just told me my eyes look horrible. Still trying to recover.

    You said it would never be a matter of IF you get sick, it would be a matter of WHEN you get sick! Glad to hear that it was a quick fix!!

      Well, it’s not fixed yet. Hopefully this won’t turn into a series of posts about conjunctivitis.

    You have made it this far so you were due! Glad it all worked out. You continue to amaze me by your resilience. You are much braver than I am.
    By the way, SHS teacher Nori Lembree is planning a trip to retrace some of your footsteps at SHS with EF Tours next year. You will have to be in touch when you return.

      That’s great. Tell her to contact me if she wants any help, and to use my blog to promote the trip if it helps.

    Tim, so sorry that this adventure led you to the “hospital ” but again what a lesson in white privileges. No more puffy eyes again! Love how the Cambodian children are so willing to hold hands and anxious to have fun. And wonderful that you have a picture of “We love you, Teacher Tim”
    Mutual feelings!

      I’m going to miss the hand holding when I go home. On another note, I had four kids grabbing my hands and arms while my foot was being bitten by ants (very common here). I kept trying to let go of the kids to brush off the stinging ants. Every time one arm got free, they grabbed onto it again. It was also about 100 degrees. One of the kids took a video of me struggling to get free from the kids and the ants – it was quite a scene.
