schooltje

zo, we zij aan de slag met ons werk en zijn begonnen op een klein schooltje ergens net buiten de stad op het zwaar verckrackte platte land. Stinkende buffels en krotten hutjes domineren het landschapen daaar fiets je dan doorheen met je bulgaarse ipod van een turk, wat een verschil. Het maakt...

2 months ICT

Some people complained that I hadn’t written anything on my blog for a while and I must say they are right and I apologize for not letting you know more about my recent adventures in Cambodia. Now, finally, I feel de-blocked. I suppose the long silence also resulted of being in a...

Siem Reap...Angkor Wat, the 8th wonder of the world!

After our 7 hour bus ride, we arrived in a muddy dirt parking lot in Siem Reap. We were supposed to be picked up, with a tuk-tuk driver waiting for us, but again we fought through hoards of tuk-tuk drivers trying to overcharge us and to take us to a good hostel! As a side note, Phnom...
