Nearly two months to the day after our arrival we held our house warming with a good bunch of new friends. In typical fashion there were many cocktails and much food. The dishes included Fish Amok and a Curry which gave the night a nice link back to where we had come from. Shawn, you would have been proud of the cocktail list, with two blenders going producing Lime & Raspberry Daiquiri’s and Pineapple & Chili Margaritas. Many Cosmopolitans have been made with your shaker since our arrival also, Thank You.
It’s hard to believe that we were only there for 9 months (Anny nearly 11) with all the fun we had and friends we made. Our farewell was a sign of how wonderful they are. Shawn organized farewell t-shirts, with Anny and I printed on the front, for all the guests to wear. We had organized the farewell bash on a river boat and headed out on the Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers. We had a great time, with huge thanks to Tiff who took over music and had songs to boogie and karaoke to all night. Having Ben, Tiff and Karen here, along with all our friends from Cambodia made the night feel like a mix of everything good over the past 6 years. There are so many great photos from the night which reflect the fun. I left Jenny with a handful of CD’s so I hope the crew in PP has had the chance to have a look and copy them. Thank you to all the karaoke performers and the passion with which the microphone was attacked and of course thanks to Lachlan for his Cambodian adaptation of Bonn Scott doing a Cirque du Soleil high wire act. La Dolce Vita Lachlan!
