Following yesterday's objective, most of the group will be reassessing six potential marketing locations for safe and economical water. Others will stay behind and finish testing samples. Drs. Joe Brown and Philip Johnson have helped us scope out these potential sources and will now give a stronger reasoning for such decisions, yet the final decision for the installment of the small treatment plants will be made by RDI and the government officials. This afternoon and after we finished the samples, we will be able to move on to Siem Reap, a Cambodian city known for its ancient temples.

The Bayon temple was very interesting. There is much architecture, and on the walls there are cool engravings of epic events.
