tuk tuk to the moon?

I still find it funny, even after traveling through Asia for over two months, that the cab and tuk tuk drivers still call out to you on the street. Not that I'm an expert in the art of hailing cabs, but I'm used to having to flag one down, not having a driver walk with me down the street trying to convince me to ride in his tuk tuk. I have gotten used to it for the most part, but found it particularly funny tonight when a guy asked me if I wanted a tuk tuk to the moon.

I started volunteering yesterday at a really cool center that helps street kids in the area. I've only been volunteering two days and I'm already in love with the kids and the vision of the center! I'm not sure how long we will be able to stay because of visa length and not having school next week because of the king's birthday, but I think I'd be willing to come back some day. The center is doing some great work, teaching English and Khmer classes, creative art projects, rice rations each week for the family, lunch every day, and facilities for the children to shower and wash clothes. Today we helped out with a photography project. The kids had a great time and took some beautiful pictures, which I'll post later.

I've really been enjoying my time traveling, but it feels great knowing that I can also do something worthwhile at the same time!
