Cambodia has only recently emerged from decades of isolation and the Khmer people are happy and welcoming. It is a country of chaotic sights, smells, sounds and tastes - there's as much adventure dodging the motorbikes as you cross the roads as you'll find on a pilgrimage to glorious and mysterious ancient temple city of Angkor Wat. In the middle of this dusty, colourful country, lies the giant freshwater Tonle Sap lake - the breathing heart of Cambodia - and south are empty tropical beaches. If you've been looking for a change from Thailand's tourism over-crowding, try a trip to Cambodia.

We commenced the day with painting the outside of the building yellow. This was the hottest work to do. We all had sweat pouring out of our bodies. The kids arrived at Sunrise quite late. A school group had come to visit from Hong Kong. They were cooking ... Read more >
