Sua s'day! After a door to door journey of just over 24hours, we've finally arrived in Cambodia! We're staying in a lovely little family run guesthouse - the owner and his wife are very friendly, Jessye knows them from previous visits to Cambodia which is nice. He was telling us how Doctors in Vietnam don't talk to patients and sometimes give patients the wrong drugs and injections, as they mix things up!! (Eg his father, who's not diabetic, had someone's insulin injection, and the diabetic had to miss that days injection!) We told him we'd get struck off for that in England, and he hopes one day that strategy would reach south east asia, but for now they can't complain.....treatment isn't free for them and they are grateful for any help.
Jessye's mum is also staying in siem reap, which is lovely, so we visited her hotel and had dinner by the pool. We then walked around the night street markets and had a pedicure for a dollar.....
We start work at 8am this morning for an orientation guide of the hospital. Normally clinics start at 7am, so apparently this is a lie-in!! So jet lagged last night, we both slept well and it was nice to lie down in a bed, as opposed to an airplane chair!!
Better get up and get to the hospital for a busy day ahead.......
