So here I am sitting on Marc in my favourite place in Chbar Morn. It is the lake south of the town and is as beautiful as ever. This weekend could well be the last I spend in Chbar Morn so this morning I decided to come back to the lake and to find out where the road went. Usually I stop at the ford and just walk along the road but today I bravely went down the very steep dangerous concrete slope, over the ford and up the other side and just carried on along by...

Highway 4: The best and worst of Cambodia: Several times in this blog I have talked about highway 4. It is the main road from PP to Sihanouk, in my opinion the worst city in Cambodia all casinos and sex!!, However it is also the route to the islands which are lovely. It is Cambodia's principle port and now has Cambodia's fastest growing economy. In addition to that between PP and Kampong Speu it is almost wall to wall garment factories - they carry on for a li...

To the End of the Road As you know yesterday we came back along an unmade road that ran along the coast. Well this morning I got up, had breakfast and by 7.15 was on the road to try and find that road again.

When we set out it was just spitting with rain but that clear...

About 6.50 I wandered along to the crab market looking for breakfast. Beside the market there are several restaurants but they cater for lunch and dinner so I end...

As you may have gathered over the last few months I am not doing things the way I am expected to - or indeed the way I expected to. I now talk to those who are here, listen to what they want and try to support them in giving it. Most of my colleagues still present themselves - I don't. When I am in Kampong Speu Bunthorn often presents but alongside someone from the POE. Here in Kep I haven't time to work with Sitha so he can present - shame really as I think he ...
