Cambodia: Days 2 and 3

Click To Play

yesterday we went to some pretty intense and amazing places. recorded mostly on the big camera so you'll get to see them later. 2 orphanages, one in a rural village and one in the urban slums. it feels weird bringing cameras in to those places, but it seemed that everyone there, children and adults, welcomed us. i really love hanging out with kids. they're so playful even under the worst circumstances. pretty amazing. thanks for watching, i'm so excited to be able to share this stuff with everyone almost instantly! and i'm glad people care to watch. i love videoblogging.

jay and i made it to cambodia! the first day was recovering from the long flight and checking the place out. damn internet is slow here. this 20mb file took two attempts, one canceled after an hour upload to blip. the second, i'm FTPing using internet explorer to my own server. nutty, but not impossible!

we're going to southeast asia to work with Prevent Human Trafficking Institute to help them document the work they're doing to, as their name implies, prevent human trafficking. we are super excited to be helping an organization like this share their stories on the web through video. we recorded this video using a Vcam Now 2.0 toy camera.
we're bringing 3 of these along with a heftier Canon Powershot that we'll be delivering to a school that Beth Kanter helps run in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. w00t! hopefully we can spark their interest in capturing moments of the students there!

Thanks to Nick Schmidt for sending me 20 Thai bucks!
