One night, we brought a party to a small village south of Prek Kdam, and north of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The crew of our ship had chosen a small village on the banks of the Mekong and told the people that we were bringing a party..
We tied up to the bank and the crew started carrying the party to the shore: firewood, fire starter, tables, speakers and Hi-Fri equipment, stacks of soda water and cookies, plus adult beverages and appetizers for the passengers. Then we came ashore and were met with the children (and their parents) who were excitedly awaiting our arrival.
They drank the soda and devoured the cookies,
They danced with us
They blew up the balloons I had brought,
And one little girl, given a book by another passenger, kissed it with shining eyes at receiving such a treasure.
I will remember that night for a long time, and I suspect that the children will not soon forget it!
