but as i entered the school yard i see dozens of kids already playing hysterically with water guns they made. Mr. Thai went ahead and brought bamboo and other materials, had some of the kids build their guns their own. just in a few days i didn't see him. What a guy! i'm in complete awe by his energy.
Mr. Thai lines up all the morning school children (200 students) to introduce "inventor/designer" of the water gun, yes, myself. i feel respect and adoration in the eyes of every single one of them. but soon this respect is paid by the splashes of water all aiming at me. i grab someone's water gun and start shooting back at them, it's me against 20, 30 kids. i have no chance. soon we are all soaking wet.
This is for sure the first time this Japanese traditional toy is introduced to Khmer children. we are making a history!
i can hardly walk to anywhere in the school yard without being followed by a flock of curious and smiling children. Look at these smile.
