Dentist, Children's Surgical Centre (CSC), PT (Physiotherapy) House

May 29 - Christina & I went with Sopheary this morning to the dentist at the Christian Medical Centre. She had lots of work to be done since she hadn't learned any dental hygiene or had dental work done for all her life (she's in her early 20's). The centre provides the sessions for a minimal fee, to help those who can't afford it ... and Sopheary definitely fits into that category (they would charge lots more for foreigners, because they can afford it ... it's a good system). This was her 2nd visit.

After that, we toured around town and visited the 'park' where there's a Buddhist temple. There are lots of people here, many stands with people selling stuff, this elephant and a bunch of monkeys.





Common sight with multiple people/families on motos.
These pictures were taken from the tuk-tuk after Christina & I visited the CSC and we were on our way to find the PT House. It was hard to find, but we finally located it. I had the opportunity to work on one of the residents for a very brief time. The burns were so disfiguring that I didn't even ask if they would allow me to take pictures.


Our tuk-tuk driver (& the Murrayville boot) for the past 3 days.
Self-photo with Rachel & Christina. The glow on our skin is due to the Cambodian heat (very humid)! And Rachel can gauge the level of humidity based on how curly Christina's hair is that day:) lol
