Last day in Cambodia

Today was my last day in Cambodia. The day started with packing up, grabbing breakfast and heading to the safe house for our last staff devotion. It was an encouragement to be there and know the staff and know how great the girls have it with an amazing staff! After saying goodbye we headed for a 5 hour and 45 minutes bumpy bus ride. We made a stop where kids had these large spiders and sold pineapple. It was interesting. The bathrooms were literally a squat-potty. Katie feel in the yucky water... got cut up a little bit so we had to clean her up on the bus.

Once we got to our last hotel, so hit the russian market one more time. There we were able to find good buys! We went to dinner at the place we 1st ate at when we got to Cambodia. It was a fun cultural experience. After that we went to the mall and my eyes were opened to the wealthy people in Cambodia there. It was a 5 story mall full of things. Then I was shown a Casino and took a tooktook (taxi) around the city. We were able to see some of the major streets were girls are trafficked. Most of the brothels were in obvious locations and it was hard to see.

When we came in for the night I talked with our translator. She used to go talk with the girls who were trafficked. She said sometimes husband sell their wives just to get more money. I cannot imagine being married and my husband letting me sleep with another man just for money. The culture is so different here, people live around money.

Tomorrow am we fly to Bangkok and have a 9 hour layover. Pray for safety in our travels.
