PHOTOS - Direct from the Source.

Nuttter slaved over an ancient computer last night/this morning and has gifted us all with a few more visual snippets of her travels. Yay. I know that she probably does not want me to post the "Pig-Mart" shot from the Umbrella mall in Cambodia but I am not the only meat lover amongst us!...

Kracheh (Kratie) - DIrect from the Source.

Maybe it was the ride into town. I finally got to ride on the back of a motorbike. It was me sitting on the back of the bike with my large backpack strapped on and my hands holding on (tightly) to the back seat while the driver kept my small pack between his legs and drove me about 2km into...

first entry

So, Here I am now. It’s the late afternoon of my second day in Phnom Penh and I feel alive for the first time since I’m here. After a really long but smooth flight to Bankok, I nearly missed the next one to PP due to confusion at the gates. I got picked up before the check out by Suon...

Cambodia...the last Asian country to explore on the tour

Our bus journey from HCMC to Phnom Penh (the Cambodian capital) was long &, thnakfully, uneventful. It is very hard to describe the border crossing throughout Asia, apart from to say that they are nothing like those in the Western world. Under-staffed, a distinct lack of security, & nobody tells...

06.-23.07.09

7th of July I think I have my first drop of emotions and self-belief. Probably triggered by having a cold and feeling ill with it and because my proposal was turned down. Also the anticipated supervision visits in Kratie and Chhlong are not happening this month. That means going to the RTC...

Viva Cambodia

Though we have only spent 3 days in Cambodia, I feel like I could write pages and pages on this place. It is an complex land, with complex people who have gone through incredibly tragic things in recent past. This is set side by side with the other-worldly beauty of Cambodia's ancient past -...

Hi guys! How are you? I am in my second month far away from you and familiar environment. So far I can say that it is great and I’m really enjoying myself. The language is still a problem though, I need to crack on and find a teacher or learn myself. I can go to the market and understand...

Ratana kiri and Kampong Thom

My visit to Ratana kiri and Kampong Thom 15. -21.06.2009 After I arrived in ST from PP on Sunday, my landlady came and brought me lunch. Khmei food. That made me really happy. Although we can’t understand each other, she makes me feel welcome. In the evening, we were saying farewell to...

meeting in PP

On Monday, I met Holly and Joelle at 7 am at the market and we had breakfast together, it’s called Ban som and it is like a sweet chilli dish with yummy soft thick noodles and something else I couldn’t identify so far. Holly is another volunteer, who works in Livelyhoods but was in PP for the...
