is just about complete.
I've just come back from enrolling Sila Kai in school at the Liberty International School. The whole family is excited about this. For as much as SK needs to be among other little people doing little-people party things, mom and dad need a bit of a break. We also wanted to get him placed a few days before our volunteer work begins so that we can be around and available if anything comes up.
I've also just leased an apartment just around the corner from the school. In fact, we can see the school from our (very) small balcony. We are set to move our stuff from our current guesthouse to the apartment tomorrow. After that, it's off to the market to buy sheets, pots, pans, and the other miscellaneous necessities of everyday life.
On a practical note, this means that the Griffin Guesthouse is about to officially open to visitors. We have an extra bedroom with it's own bathroom, so feel free to start making plans to visit beautiful Phnom Penh. This should save you about 10 bucks a day if you're living on the cheap and up to 25 bucks a night for comparable accommodations in the city. Think of the savings! Your stay will also include at least one English-speaking guide with marginal familiarity with the city and almost no knowledge of Khmer culture, history, or language. Book now!
Beyond that, we've contracted with a foreign-language school, Conversations with Foreigners to volunteer teaching English about 3 hours a day for the next 12 weeks.
At this point, it really feels as though we're beginning to settle into life in Phnom Penh--at least for the time being.
Cheers!

Nice to see you are having a good time. Will you be taking Khmer classes at CWF? Sila's school looks dope. We are almost moved out of Dunn house. I go back today for final yard clean out and drop keys. So, the high life awaits you on re-entry. Love to you guys, Ciao
