This afternoon, my companions and I were cordially invited to the British Ambassador's home in Phnom Penh for an informal talk on the state of security in Cambodia. It was incredibly interesting and we all felt terribly important - even the Dutch, Irish and Americans with us were impressed! We also had a gorgeous lunch and just enough wine to enquire whether there would be a Christmas Party in December. The Ambassador (David, to us!) assured us there would certainly be a carol and mince pie evening and that we would all be very welcome. Although we didn't get to explore the whole house, we were all very awestruck at the general decor, the artefacts from around the world, impressive pictures of London and a very inviting swimming pool in the back garden. No pictures I'm afraid as any recording devices were strictly prohibited. And would you believe it, there was not a Ferrero Rocher in sight - how disappointing!
