Big Boy School
Clancy started school today at the International School of Phnom Penh(www.ispp.edu.kh). We bought him a new school bag and accessories on the weekend and he has been very excited. Tom and Jerry, partly because of limited selections, have become the accessory images of choice. We set off with our Tuk Tuk and so another routine starts. After this week, we will settle to Anny taking him to school on the way to work and I'll collect him. School starts at 7.30am and finshes at 2.30pm. We dropped him in to class this morning and he was straight into it. His teacher is Mr. Pete. with Louise the teachers assistant. Another Adventure.

Living in Cambodia

Pony Riding
Our neighbors introduced us to the Cambodian Country Club, a relatively newly built french sporting club in PP. One of the things they do well is horse riding so Clancy joined some other kids on Saturday and had a ball. The lessons are an hour on Saturday and after the excitement of his first lesson he wanted more, so he is booked in for Saturdays. The first part of the lesson is based on horse care and knowledge, so brushing, cleaning hoofs, etc. Clancy was great. It's always fabulous to see a five years old holding a hind leg of a pony and cleaning a hoof, so confident!

Clancy's Birthday

Arrived in Cambodia
Tuesday 25th August - Clancy and I arrived in Cambodia at about 10.30am after a fairly harmless trip from Melbourne via KL. The time difference messed us up a little and we woke at about 4am for the first three mornings. Clancy is very excited about Cambodia and being in a different place. Great to be back as a family again, Anny very happy to have us here. Anny has been using a TukTuk driver called Vuthy and we will most likely engage him for all our transport needs around town.

The Start
After 13 years of continued travel, "the start" hardly seems an appropriate title, but it is for this little adventure. Maybe over the period of this blog we'll find places to slot in bits and pieces of the stories of the last thirteen years. Anne-marie left for Cambodia yesterday to take up a role on a World Bank Project as Deputy Team Leader/ Procurement Advisor. Clancy and I leave Adelaide on or about the 20th, travelling via Melbourne to see mum and dad, before heading to Cambodia in the early hours of the 25th arriving later that morning. It will be Clancy's Birthday on the 26th, he'll be 5.
