27.08.09 Now, Channa has Malaria. He complained about neck-stiffness and fever. When I found out I sent him immediately to the doctor and he has not only malaria but also typhoid fever. He is a tough cookie, he had injections yesterday and today and wanted to come back to work tomorrow. I...

Doctor Fish Massage

Cambodia again. This time, we're walking down the aptly named Bar Street when we see a shallow pool on the street filled with attractive young men with appealing foreign accents. “This looks like an interesting situation,” I comment. “We should probably join these gentlemen in whatever...

August 2009

12.08.09 So. After being on holiday and having fun, I’m now back at work and do what I am supposed to do. Capacity building and development work. I really have the urge to achieve something while I am here and it is hard sometimes to motivate myself and just keep going. So I try to keep...

Angkor WHAT?!

Quick, close your eyes! Empty your mind. Think: Cambodia. What do you see? Probably Angkor Wat, the world's biggest religious building. And with good reason: Angkor is to Cambodia what Lady Liberty is to NYC--only, having seen them both now, I can say with authority that Angkor is far more...

Angkor... What? PHOTOS - Direct from the Source.

CHECK IT OUT!! Awesome pictures from our adventurous traveller... Nuttter. AT HOME: Screws, not strewn haphazardly all over the place but in a "holding pattern" awaiting screwing. The view from Spare Um into the office, late last night. Today I ache like a man that was putting up...

Siem Reap - Direct from the Source.

I left Batdambang by boat. It was a lovely, slow ride on a longtail covered boat to Siem Reap. While it took 7 hours (leaving at 7 a.m.) it didn't seem that long with the changing scenery. Got to see lots of locals who live right on the river. I arrived in Siem Reap and with my dirty clothes...

Batdambang - Direct from the Source!

And so I left Krache for Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh. Surprisingly, the bus arrived ON TIME. Crazy. Cambodia has such a different personality to laid-back Laos. You can see it just in the driving. Instead of mainly motorbikes and tuk-tuks, Cambodia's streets are occupied with SUVs...

Snorkeling Fail

Because it was too awesome to contain in one post, this will be the first in a series of stories about my recent trip to Cambodia with Ellen. We flew into Siem Reap, spent a couple days there seeing Angkor Wat and a floating village (more on that later), and then headed south to Sihanoukville...

I was wondering, why Sihanouk Ville felt so westernised, but it is, as I read now, because it has been only constructed in the late 1950’s as a port city, so the town is much newer, more urban and cosmopolitan that most Cambodian provincial cities. In general it is Cambodia’s premier beach...
