February

Ahhh, and now February.

February was by no means a meaty teaching month. Chinese New Year, although not an official Cambodian holiday, is in practice celebrated by many Cambodians whether they are of Chinese heritage or not. Then the exam period began, so few classes were happening. As I said, exam period doesn't end until March. So I've been doing a lot of non-teaching stuff.

I went to another wedding of a Cambodian and Cambodian-American



JoJo got bigger and, as a total coward, learned how to bark at young girls



I went to Siem Reap with a college friend, where we visited the War Museum



and saw lots of old stuff



and I learned how to pump gas, Khmer-style



I also went to Phnom Penh for the CamTESOL conference. I'm pretty excited to go back to my site and try out some new methods that I've learned about at the conference, specifically something called Team English. Wish me luck!
