We arrived Phnom Penh International Airport around 4pm, on 17th Mar. Upon landing, the air stewardess announced that the ground temperature is 36C! The moment we stepped out the plane, into the air-bridge, both of us want to step back into the plane again!! Hahaha. The Phnom Penh International Airport is small, but neat and nice. On the left of the airport exit, there's the Tourist Information and so we got a very useful tourist guide book. And with this book, we started our adventures!!! Ins...

Nach einem kurzen Stopp in Bangkok ging es mit dem Flieger weiter nach Phnom Penh, die Hauptstadt von Cambodia. Phnom Penh hat nicht sehr viel zu bieten. Es ist jedoch sehr eindruecklich aber tragisch zu erfahren was in den 70-ern hier unter Pol Pot's Regime vorgefallen ist (1,7 MioTote). Eine weitere Sehenswuerdigkeit ist die Riverside, wo man gemuetlich entlang spazieren kann. Mit dem Schnellboot ging es am naechsten Tag nach Siem Reap. In den fuenf Stunden Fahrt haben wir gesehen wie die L...

We travelled from Chau Doc in Vietnam to the Cambodian capital on the river, a very picturesque journey, particularly once we crossed onto the Cambodian side with farming and floating villages amid the lush green landscape and random palm trees. Phnom Penh is a city of some stark contrasts. There is quite obviously a great deal of dire poverty here which is cast against the amazingly beautiful palaces/wats, monks dressed in orange praying and meditating clouded in incense smoke and very nice ...

From Vietnam into Cambodia

This was a long day spent on a 26 seat boat going down the river Mekong. A very long trip especially with the Vietnamese border police and then the Cambodian border Police. However everything went very smoothly and the border posts were situated in beautiful gardens and it was a pleasure to be off the boat for a while. Eventually the boat reached Phnom Penh and we alighted onto Cambodian soil. We were met by a Hotel worker that many of us mistook for our new tour guide Toby. Soon discovered o...

... beer and staying out after dark, talking about how we ended up here and trying to figure out what happens after Cambodia. It wasn't until 9:30 that we left to go home, Catherine and I riding our bikes while Scott rode his moto behind us to light the way on the deserted roads. It was the first time I had been out after dark and the town had changed completely. It seemed peaceful yet threatening as restaurants by day turned into karaoke bars (otherwise known as brothels) by ...

Locked in!

So, in addition to working on this business plan, I am also teaching English to some of the people who work at the Sam Rainsy Party. It is a lot of fun, as they are very willing, yet shy, students. And, it gets me out of the house and away from the 'research' that makes me a bit crazy sometimes! The first day I taught we had class in the hallway as there was no room free. I was told I would be ...
