Incredible!

Noodles and Sam say hello again from Cambodia,
Noodles and Sam are still in Cambodia having a fun time and learning a lot. Everybody there has been so nice to them! As we mentioned last time our call to them was great but they weren't able to see the kids at the school they raised the money for. So Noodles and Sam decided to cancel their Hawaii adventure and stay in Cambodia  for a few extra days or as long as it takes. They really want to make sure they get to the school. They brought a lot of fun questions with them and they can't wait to meet all of the kids there. Besides all of that they have been looking forward to bringing the donated money and talking to them for weeks. Noodles and Sam apologized to their Hawaii hosts. Although they were disappointed about not seeing Hawaii they know they are doing something special. One of their Cambodia hosts is going to video tape their visit to the school and send it back with them. We will definitely keep you updated.
We are still working on editing the skype video call we made last week. It is taking a little longer than expected but we were able to get a picture of it on the website. To have our team talk to Noodles and Sam from around the world you realize they are doing something really incredible, (as you all remind us). They aren't trying to recreate a paper doll that was created in the 60's. What they are doing is trying to do is teach and connect kids from around the world in way that is relevant to todays technological culture around them.  Over the course of the last few days we got the official names and titles of who Noodles and Sam were with on the call and who we spoke to. The gentlemen's name is Veasnaten and he is the Director of Foreign Affairs for Cambodia. Sokunthea was the nice young lady we spoke to and she is the assistant to the Director of Foreign Affairs.
Before Noodles and Sam had left they had been working on a new way to present everything they learn on their adventures. Instead of just listing some information with the pictures they decided to start making a little video. The first one Noodles and Sam did was of their Japan adventure. We put it on the blog page on the website and it also can be found on YouTube. Let us know what you think. So far the response has been amazing and we appreciate all of the great feed back,  so it looks like they will be doing more of them.
There is always so many good things happening with The Adventures of Noodles and Sam it is hard to know where to stop. Noodles and Sam were contacted about going on another Africa adventure. Instead of going to South Africa this time they will be heading to the northern part, Senegal, Africa. The adventure is booked for spring of next year so we will keep you posted.
As always thank you for all of your great e-mails and correspondence! We want to say a special hello to our friends in Lublin, Poland and Chelyabinsk, Russia. Let us know when you are ready and Noodles and Sam will come visit you.
Until next time,
The Adventures of Noodles and Sam Team
