from evening cooking to night swimming

Saturday, July 19, 2008

yesterday was a really fun day... we, cambodian delegates, with Burmese and Vietnamese students, got together in the kitchen and threw a dinner reception, introduing each of our local food to one another as well as to some americans invited....


Cha kat na with kos chicken
ocean & mandy (from Burma)

during the dinner; everyone is serving themselves

:D
n what earned quite a lot of compliment was
the dessert we made, Bor bor san dek with ice
and guess what we do after that dinner reception..... we, with two cambodian people in carbondale, went to the local pubs or clubs....
in front of the club with country music,
just to see the US club,.....admission fee was too expensive, 5$
inside the club
do more guess......what did we do after that midnight club?........... ironically, at 2 in the morning we went swimming.... and not in the simple swimming pool... We went swimming in a lake somewhere about 10 mn from town.... Uh-oh!!! Ridiculous, huh?
I know!!! the place was totally quiet; there was no-one in the place besides us, along with other 4 american friends..... some of us went swim in a warm lake, viewing the almost full moon... we also created a bon-fire..... Ha..
anyway, it was a lake, and going there, i was feeling scared of snakes and movies abt crocodiles came into my mind... kinda scary, but it was a nice experience.. totally new for me!!!
:D

n icebraker, it wasn't cold in the lake at all... the water was unusually warm.... only cold when getting out of water....
