- Cambodia - Commiting to a Community
So its been 17 days since our arrival here and we are still in Kampot and not going anywhere any time soon. We intended to leave yesterday but when it came down to making the arrangments I found myself very Posted by LotusGirl in Adventures of a Lotus Lover | Jan 20, 2008
- Rehearsing a scene
It’s quite a humbling experience to see the mountains that have been moved for me to come and teach here. It’s very easy to think that it is I who is making all the sacrifices, but that is not Posted by markxjones in Free for a year!! | Jan 17, 2008
- Jai's house by the river
I got use to the ‘creepy crawlies quite quickly. It’s amazing how, after finding your the first 30cm+ gecko in the bathroom, they transform from a thing of horror to a thing of curiosity and beauty. Jai put Posted by markxjones in Free for a year!! | Jan 17, 2008
- What does a dollar buy?
I go to pick up Jai’s motor bike – the breaks needed tightening up. It’s a small, side street business with most of the workshop spilling out onto the pavement. The price - 6,500 Riel (about $1 Posted by markxjones in Free for a year!! | Jan 17, 2008

You can’t hear deaf students gossip/ talk in class. You have to watch for their hands and their focus. If they are not watching the signer (not so important they watch me, the teacher) and if their hands Posted by markxjones in Free for a year!! | Jan 17, 2008

This blogging thing is turning out to be hard work.
More teaching on Wednesday. In the evening the kids were performing traditional dance at a little restuarant to get more donations so i went and watched. They all seemed really Posted by beckyg in The Wonderful Adventures of Becky | Jan 17, 2008

Don't really have time to update properly, but a brief overview, plus letting you know I am still alive. Have done some cleaning of ancient statues and then 4 days in a rural community right by the Great Lake so Posted by beckyg in The Wonderful Adventures of Becky | Jan 15, 2008

A quick update from wonderful Cambodia:

- First impressions of Phnom Penh
My arrival in Cambodia must rank as one of the smoothest I've ever had anywhere, let alone in a 3rd world country. My Jetstar flight was uneventful (none of the panic of the last time I came here and Posted by markxjones in Free for a year!! | Jan 10, 2008
- More Siem Reap
So Monday, did more temples as planned. I could tell you all their names and something about them but since it would bore me it would most certainly bore you. All good though, although none as spectacular as the week Posted by beckyg in The Wonderful Adventures of Becky | Jan 7, 2008
- Mein Weihnachten und Silvester
So, gestern Abend sind wir wieder gut in Singapore gelandet. Wie ich ja bereits geschrieben habe, habe ich mein Weihnachten und Silvester dieses Jahr nicht wie normalerweise in Deutschland sondern in Kambodscha verbracht.

Falling very behind, but will probably be updating more for the next 3 weeks.
Last weekend I headed off to Kampot. First night there was uneventful, found a guest house and ate in their restaurant rather than try and navigate an Posted by beckyg in The Wonderful Adventures of Becky | Dec 30, 2007

This week started off in a daze to say the least, flew into Bangkok and spent about four days in that crazy city. Trippy to say the least. Christmas Eve I arrived late in the evening so we spent Posted by koswald in Where in the world is Katie?? | Dec 29, 2007

We arrived safely in Phnom Penh on Christmas Eve after an eventful trip on a comfortable coach. We stopped for a break as we were getting nearer to Phnom Penh where the local vendors were trying to ply us Posted by Neil-Sonia in Cambodia & Vietnam Trip | Dec 26, 2007

The Aspara dancers were indeed beautiful. At the end of the show we went home by tuk-tuk, the young driver (Bol) responding with the Cambodian standard of "no problem" when we asked if he would be OK for a 5:00am Posted by Neil-Sonia in Cambodia & Vietnam Trip | Dec 24, 2007

Sihanoukville is a town down in the South of Cambodia, about 4 hours by bus.
The buses deserve a quick mention. The drivers are literally constantly on the horn. Every person they pass is given several loud Posted by calumfife in New York | Dec 19, 2007
- Siem Reap - Bangkok and THAT border crossing!
It's a well - known nightmare trip; every guide book and blog has a monologue about how awful it is (as does this one now :-)).
We were ‘lucky’ (?) enough to be doing the border crossing in the opposite direction Posted by CRFS in Four Go RTW | Dec 22, 2007
- Siem Reap
After the space age efficiency of Kuala Lumpur airport, Siem Reap was quite a contrast. We went from the super-efficient fast train linking the terminals at KL to a world of motor scooters, tuk-tuks, cars, bicycles, ox-carts and functional chaos Posted by Neil-Sonia in Cambodia & Vietnam Trip | Dec 22, 2007
- Crocodiles at Angkor Wat?
To get to Siem Reap we chose the bus – US$8 each got us a/c with big ‘club’ style seats and a toilet, which was fine for the 5 hour journey, although it may have been less tedious had we Posted by CRFS in Four Go RTW | Dec 18, 2007
