Steve and Heng Bee first went to Malaysia where they spent three weeks with Heng Bee's family, the first time Steve had met the family since their marriage more than a year ago.
Because of passport difficulties, Steve and Heng Bee arrived two days late in Cambodia. They had lost their previous reservations and ended up spending each night in a different hotel.
Both Steve and Heng Bee are experienced travelers. Steve has been to Asia several times and Heng Bee attended a university in London.
Steven and Heng Bee visited DDP House, the hostel for students in job training, and got to know some of the trainees in an afternoon there.
Steve and Heng Bee didn't know Cambodian Sign Language and the students didn't know American and British Sign Language but all quickly began to understand each other.
Later Heng Bee and Steve toured the DDP office and classroom building where they met the two sign language researchers, Sokchea and Samath, who showed their the new dictionary they have produced.
Heng Bee and Steve also visited the DDP classrooms in Phnom Penh and answered questions from the students who were amazed that a Malaysian would marry an American.
Their last day in Phnom Penh, Heng Bee and Steve spent a lot of time in a tuk-tuk traveling to DDP, the Russian Market, and one of the 125 killing fields located outside the city.
