Day 3

After my big struggle with electricity I was mellow for the rest of the afternoon.  I took my seemingly usual afternoon nap and awoke to Rachel telling me that like all the Language Corps people were going to get dinner.  We went to a restaurant/beer garden a little bit south (?) of the hotel.  I freely admit that I wanted to have Rachel and the other people teach me to drink (the drinking age in Cambodia is 18) and to make sure I didn't overdo it.  Along with my first beer (which tasted really good actually) there was some deliciously tender beef that I dipped into a mixture of salt, pepper, and lime juice.  It was fantastic.  Sadly I filled up on that and missed eating a bunch of the shrimp dish that came later.  I ended up having a little more beer than I wanted, the glasses were small but the waitresses kept coming around filling peoples glasses.  I wound up finishing my first glass and then the waitress filled it again (oh well).  I didn't drink it dangerously fast.  I finished the second one and decided it would be in my best interest to just put my hand over the glass to avoid a bad situation.  I freely admit to enjoying it, but I also know what the safe amount is.  I'm going to make sure I'm with people I trust (disclaimer for mom and dad).  Well, tomorrow is the official tour of the city!  More to come.
