... are so powerful. Drew was fine&#8230; Too many shoot 'em up computer games, me thinks.<br><br>We then celebrated with a pizza&#8230; From Happy Herb&#8217;s Pizza. We were asked how happy we wanted our pizzas so we opted for medium happy (if you get my drift). The pizzas were great and were only mildly "happy" afterwards so good fun&#8230 ...

... Cath about about it looking like and eery teletubby land where they have excavated all the mass graves. There's a stupa (Buddhist tomb) as you walk in containing all the skulls/bones/clothes stacked high and in age order. It goes into graphic detail about how people were killed and what happened to them at each place in the field - even the children and babies. Its unbelievable how recent this was. There's a school next door to the field and the ...

... shoot a rocket over. The base of it started about 300 yards away and in between here and there was thick with shrubs and small trees. The clearing was only about 100 yards long and was mostly grass, some patches of sand, and occasionally a shrub or small tree popped up. The men that accompanied us out set down a mat so as o not get dirt in the weapons as they laid them on the ground. It was crazy looking at the arsenal of weapons that lie before me. Everyone was excited thinking about the ...

<br> It has been 11 days since I arrived in Prey Veng and I'm surprised how much can happen in such a short time, especially given the fact that classes still haven't started at the RTTC. So here's the deal. As a Peace Corps volunteer my job here is to be a co-teacher as well as find secondary projects to start or involve myself. I am supposed to have a full month to observe the English classes as well as several months to explore the town and get to know my ...

We arrived at a bus station in Phnom Penh on Sunday, September 27, in the middle of the afternoon. It was pouring rain, so we had a late lunch in a nearby restaurant as we waited out the weather. After checking out a few options, we found a room at the Spring Guest House. That evening, we ventured out to explore a little. Hungry, we started looking for food, but we weren't attracted by the menus or prices of any of the restaurants we passed. Then we rounded a corner and, lo and ...

... her fuse was a little short. Somehow the guy started abusing me!!! "You European *******".... my response...... "Ozzie ********"..... Needless to say we got outta there pretty quick as it was going to turn physical!! The other tuk tuk drivers were holding him back!! Not a good introduction to Phnom Penh......<br><br>After the nice ride through the city we found our destination......We met a Kiwi we shared a taxi with who was travelling on his own ...

... for this job, less than 10 were female, none of them were in the top 15 applicants, which were then short listed to the final 6 asked to come to the interviews.</li><li style="">But equal opportunities (only really considered by NGO&#8217;s) dictate that we should at least give some women A CHANCE to get a real job. But that brings other issues up, all of the women were rubbish compared to the men, but this is because so ...

This month has flown by (they always seem to do that when traveling! But this one seemed especially quick!) and my Cambodian visa will soon expire so I am heading off to Laos. I leave Phnom Penh tomorrow, stay overnight in Stung Treng, about 7 hours away, and then head to Laos the next morning. Not sure why I have to take a 7 am bus to get to a town by 2 pm to stay overnight but that's how it is. Probably will have to get to the bus at 7 am but then wait around doing nothing for at least an ...

... over the phone!) he finally understood the problem and thought it was HILARIOUS! <br><br>We went inside to wait and just laughed about it, because what else can you do?? Also, we knew it wouldn't be a big deal, as people here are used to waiting! Eventually, the guard came back and gestured that he had gone out for lunch. I got to class about half an hour late, and, as expected, noone minded at all!<br>
