Ho Chi Minh City and the end of my VSO placement in Stung Treng

As my last weeks as a VSO volunteer passed by, I lived and enjoyed life intensively in Stung Treng and elsewhere. Oli was very keen to visit the South of Vietnam and especially the capital - Ho Chi Minh City or as they call it unofficially: Saigon. We decided to travel by boat this time...

Weddings in Stung Treng 2011 and some good news!

On the 29th was the Royal Wedding in the UK and although I don't have a telly, I heard all about it from the other volunteers because it was in the media non stop for weeks. The Phnom Penh VSO volunteers sent an e-mail around to invite to a Royal Wedding party and it said they even invited...

Mekong River Swim and vegetarian delights

(This text is written by Oliver Shipp) The chocolaty Mekong oozes its way through Cambodia towards Phnom Penh, supporting riverside communities and picturesque boats. It is impressive, photogenic, even beautiful. But would you really want to bathe in it? Daring VSO volunteers Katja,...

Sihanoukville

In comparison to Vietnam which is just beginning to grow economically, Cambodia would still be classified as an underdeveloped country. We were told that the average monthly wage is about $40. People basically live off the land and the sea to survive. We went to the beach in a tuk tuk...

I heart Kampot

After Koh Kong it was going to take a lot to find anywhere nearly as nice. I had heard from a couple of people that they really liked Kampot so I decided to head there. Kampot is a lazy little town next to Bokor National Park. We stayed at the best backpackers ever, Bodhi Villa, which was set...

The perfect beach!

After a couple of days in Snooky I decided to move on and try and find a better beach. I brought a boat ticket to Koh Kong which is a couple of hours from the mainland. It was one of those really awful boat journeys where you seriously start considering what your going to do if the boat goes...
