Hi Will,

Tom and I arrived in Cambodia a week ago Saturday.
Sarom very kindly picked us up from the airport and
settled us into a guest house in the city for the
weekend. We had a great time exploring and then on
Monday morning we went with Sarom to Siem Reap. He was
going up there to take part in a Operation Smile
mission and we went along to see how it all worked and
to assist in theatre. It was a shame we missed
operation rainbow, but at least this was on similar
lines. It was a realy interesting week.

Sarom was very keen for us to see the temples, so we
took the Friday off and stayed the weekend to do it
all properly - absolutely amazing!

We've just had our first day at Chey Chumnas - some
surgery and then attending a funeral party with
Sarom(apparently they have parties for people at set
years after they have died - very sureal!)

So all in all it is going brilliantly and I just
wanted to thank you for all your time and effort.
Also, I won one of the six royal college of surgeons
elective prizes, so thank you for your input with
that. Very chuffed, and the money will come in handy!
Sarom is going to organise for me to see a few post-op
patients.

Anyway, I hope all is well in Canada (if you are
there!). I will send an update soon

Best wishes

Emily
