So yesterday is not much to speak of. We did a lot of work, talking about new projects and what we want the foundation to be. Levi and I are drawing up a proposal for a new program that I think will be very exciting. The real high light of the day was at night Levi and I found ourselves sourounded by hella little kids. It started when I saw some kids jump ropping anmd I insisted they let me play. We started to run and they ran after us. Then I started to chase them and they all screamed and ran away. It was great.

I'm writing from Siem Reep. We woke up very early this morning and took a six hour boat ride. I was getting ready for a shitty long trip but it turned out to be probably one of the best parts of this whole trip. The first dance party broke out on the top of the boat. The inside of the boat resembled the insides of a bus. All the Asian's were down there and all the whities stayed on the top of the boat to enjoy the views and be in the fresh air. We were sitting at the end of whities singing with the guitar when Hoot made his appearance. Climbing up to the roof he immediatly starting singing and dancing with us. As we wrapped up our song he looks at us very mischeviously and says, "Don't tell Brad."
"What? who's Brad?"
"Brad Pitt."
Huh?
"I'm Angelina's new Boyfriend! I"M JUST KIDDING!!!!!"
Oh Hoot.
Later in the trip Hoot started rubbing Daves belly while he was sleeping. He told me a story about an ant marrying a female elephant. When the ant massaged the elephant in the story, Hoot massaged Dave. Dave didn't like Hoot very much.
So Levi and I decide to spend some time in the boat. We come down to the front of the boat to find a Malasian man getting a Dutch man to eat a maggot. He quickly offered us our own maggots to eat. I didn't want to be rude so I popped one in my mouth. As with all the insects and fetal ducks that I have eaten on this trip the flavor wasn't horribl;e. It's the texture that gets you. (Note: I haven't eaten much today and have spent the majority of the day in the sun. I'm dizzy and need a nap. Dinner is soon.) Well eating the bug gave me the street cred I needed to hang with the possy. The conversation was being run by a malaysian woman who pretty quickly asked levi and I to sing. We went and grabbed the guitar. She wanted christmas soings.

"We don't celebrate Christmas."
Horror
"We're Jewish"
"OHHHH!!!! Sing a Jew song!"
"With pleasure!"
Od yevo shalom aleynu!
Od yevo shalom aleynu!
Od yevo shalom aleynu ve a kulam!
And that's how the polylingual multi nationality Shabbat sing along began.
Shit gotta go!
You'll have to wait for more.
Having the time of my life!
Brady
