Cambodia (By Phil)

Just a few hours until I get to go to the airport and start the 24 hour trip home from Cambodia.
 
And what exactly was I doing there?
 
Well, I spent most of my time at the Cambodia School of Prosthetics and Orthotics...
 
Where the technology is a little more basic than I'm used to.
 
We did some didactic lecture
 
followed by some direct patient care
 
Some instructions on fabrication
 
and some wrap-up discussion
 
the obligatory group photo with attendees from Cambodia, Nepal, Pakistan, Myanmar, the Philippians and Africa
 
But, while your in town you have to explore a little....
 
Infamous Killing Fields of the Khmer Rouge
 
The Presidential Palace Grounds
 
Riding around in the Cambodian Taxi's or "Tuk-Tuk's"
(No, I did not drive...though I eventually got pretty good at crossing the street on foot...not a task for the faint of heart).
 
Playing odd stringed instruments
 
And my personal favorite...
 

Fitting Chkouk with his new prosthesis at the Wildlife Reserve
 
Thanks to all involved for a wonderful trip
