Xenia's leaving party

The lovely Xenia left us in February to move to a different project in Siem Reap, unfortunately the placement here wasn't working out - but she has now found her place in Siem Reap and is really enjoying it all.
So as alway - any excuse for a party - Klaus provide the '100 Riel House' as the venue and a very good evening was had by all.
A few of us decided that we would dress up in traditional costumes..... so below you have Cookie in one of her lovely Sari's, Xenia in her Durnel an me in my traditional Khmer Sampot....

Basti in his Lederhosen...

Me and Queenie - Queenie obviously came out for the party as she has been away with Xenia a few times on our travels - so it seemed fit that Queenie made an appearance...

Xenia and Klaus's 2 girls that she has been teaching for the last 6 months.

Klaus trying to remember what it was like to have long hair - back in the day....

Queenie has made another german friend - Frauke

Simon who has been working for 6 weeks with KAPE - trying not to look interested in Queenie - he loved her really (not)

Then there was an accident and poor Queenie took the brunt of it.......................................................

Unhappy Jane with a broken Queenie........ Queenie's story will hopefully continue another day, I will keep you posted of her recovery.

Ali and Xenia

At one point the party was very Khmer style as all the men where in the '100 Riel house' and the women were at another table...but we soon sorted that out.

Xenia & I

Klaus and his ladies.

Introducing DJ Magique - we even had our own DJ from London fly in especially for the party - actually this is Simon our new volunteer at BSDA (who apparently also claims to be a DJ back in the UK..)

Jeltje - Dutch VSO volunteer with Kape and Xenia who managed to stay in costume all night - have to say Cookie and I lasted a few hours and then changed into our jeans.

Dari, Frank and Bhuna made it as well after closing Lazys - so here is Dari, Xenia, Ali & Cookie.
