Amanjaya Hotel Phnom Penh

... flag was up.<br><br>Visited the emerald Buddha, a lot smaller than would think. Tried to take a picture from outside the temple as you are not allowed to take pics inside. Saw some of what is left of the King tresor.. The Khmer rouge destroyed or looted most of it. <br><br>I was hurting from my trip through the tunnel, so I had to have a massage cambodian style... Ask me

<br> It seems like classes are starting to adhere to the schedule now at the RTTC, I've already observed several classes with my new co-teacher Han Sokum and I've been conducting surveys for the class to collect baseline data and assess their English skills. Sokum only teaches &#8220;upgrading&#8221; which is basically teaching grammar out of the English For Cambodia books, or EFC. They are the text books that the teacher trainees will use when they ...

... home in the early hours- Everyone got to see the worm lots, and we did this pressup game where if you said ít's mine'you had to do pressups- I have two very bruised knees and sore elbows!! Didn't have to leave till 12 the next day fortunately! I decided it was a good idea on the journey to try a deep fried cricket- and was the only one suprise suprise!! I was nearly sick, so no one else wanted to try- I don't recommend it! <br><br>Me and Jen stayed in ...

... Met a couple of Irish lads in there and drank away til closing. This morning we hired a tuk tuk to take us to the Killing Fields and the S21 museum. I cant really describe the feeling you get at both places as its a mixture of saddness, numbness and rage. The mass graves of men, women and children, while still pits in the ground, have grasses and flowers around with butterflies, chicken and even some little billy goats roaming around unaware of the horrors ...

... not know! But, as I say excellent to see and a real eye opener!<br>That evening Bang Bang and myself went on the peds round the city! At night it is possibly more beautiful than during the day and it was truely excellent to see the cities people out enjoying themselves. Another night out ensued and this time tha hangover was more prominent! <br>A very lazy Sunday was then in order before we were back in business on Monday.<br>We took a Tuk Tuk to the S21 museum, the ...

... around $6.50, however it is well worth the experience. It provides a unique view into Cambodian architecture as well as providing a chance to see into the Cambodian royal families home. S21 can only be described as moving. Pictures on the cell walls help to gain perception of the prisoners welfare. The cells also contain the original beds metal beds that the Cambodian people were chained to. A tour guide is readily available for $2 per person ...

... it was all said and done, and Khmer Rouge finally defeated, 2 MILLION people died as a result. <br><br>This was in the LATE 1970s!!! Unbelievably crazy to think about! Whats even more sad is that ************e knows about this, because its never, or very briefly, taught to us. <br><br>So basically, Cambodia today has this brand new government (which is essentially no gov't) that still has crooked officials from Khmer Rouge, a corrupt 'lawless ...

Sue Sa di..<br><br>After a wonderful time on Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam, we had to dead sprint to the border (with a horrible fight with the bus drivers in route, trying to make us pay double the standard fare) before our visas ran out of days. We made it, and took a nice long boat ride to the capitol of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. <br><br>Phnom Penh is a large, poor city that I rather enjoyed believe it or not. We spent a few days ...
