You’ve got your pink plastic flamingos and you’ve got your garden gnomes–and then here you’ve got the real thing! I don’t think you can find these on Amazon, but if you’re interested, let me know which one you like and I’ll negotiate a deal for you, F.O.B. Cambodia.

I left the Maryknoll residence this morning and stopped at the Maryknoll office in Lai Chi Kok to say goodbye. Then it was on to the airport and to Phnom Penh via Ho Chi Minh City. Click here for the final photos.
Today I visited Sokly’s work place at Chinese University, the old Canossa School for the Deaf (right), and then had dinner with deaf friends in the evening. Click here to see the pictures.
This was a day with another trip that was a new experience for Sokly—a trip to one of the outlying islands–and then I ended the day with dinner with friends from Hong Kong. Click here to see the pictures.
Sokly and I visited quite a few places of interest in the morning and then in the afternoon went to the pastoral center on the Kowloon side for the liturgy to begin the anniversary celebration. It was a good opportunity to see again old friends–former students when I was at the deaf school. Click here to see the photos.
I just returned from Hong Kong a couple hours ago (it’s 10:44 PM Tuesday night here) and there isn’t time to continue the updates today. I’ll post Saturday afternoon’s photos on Wednesday morning our time.
