After my art club, one of my students, Sophak, invited me to her home for lunch. I was touched that my student wanted to include me to share a lunch with her friends and family. I was more than happy to accept the invitation. She served some delicious fish, vegetables cooked with pork and some cooked snails.
After our lunch she and some of her friends took me around her village and gave me a tour. We walked for a few hours just admiring the scenery, the animals and enjoying each others company.
We walked to another one of my student's house, Sophat, and she offered me a fresh glass palm juice. It was by far the freshest drink I've had. I especially liked how she walked over to one of her trees and grabbed a container that naturally collects the juice. It usually takes a whole day to fill up a cup.
I am so grateful that I was able to enjoy a day with my students just playing and having fun. It's times like these that I'm really going to miss when I go back home to America. They have really made my experience here amazing.
