Vietnam - Saigon and Mui Ne

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 | By jessica184 | Views [725]

Got to Saigon a few days ago after leaving Phnom Pehn. We went on a day tour of the Mekong which was nice, we went on row boats thru the river and then had lunch on an island. Not that much of a fan of Ho Chi Minh, it was a bit crazy! Although we did ... Read more >

Ode to Cambodia

Shiva effortlessly dances, Destroying centuries of labor and toil. Jungle creeps hypnotically to his rhthym: Trees and vines twist and tangle, Topple and tumble. The Great Mother reclaims what she once lended... Farewell to the great civlizations ... Read more >

Since I last wrote, a lot has happened, including pretty much every form of transport and entry into a whole new country! Right now I am sat in the capital city of Cambodia (Phohm Pehn) and watching children playing in the monsoon puddles in front of ... Read more >

Hey, So the big day. We got up at 4.20am and were collected by our tuktuk driver plus Emily and Rhiannon at 4.40am. Arrived at Angkor Wat in plenty of time to get a prime position on the left side in front of the pond to see the sun come up. We ... Read more >

11 hour flight to Tokyo, 4 hour layover, 6 hour flight to Bangkok, 8 hour layover (night spent in airport), 1 hour flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia.  That's 30 hour of traveling and doesn't include more than 3 hours of sleep at a time. So... we're a little ... Read more >

An insight from The Hunger Games

Wed, 2 May 2012 | By me | Views [470] | Video

I have recently caught onto the feverish obsession that is The Hunger Games. Was slightly late jumping on board, but since watching the movie I have read (well to be honest listened – I love audio books) to the three books that make up the series ... Read more >

kampot i kep

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 | By magda | Views [433]

Najświeższe w życiu owoce morza jedliśmy w Kambodży na targowisku w Kep. No bo nie da się chyba bardziej świeżo niż kraby i krewetki dopiero co wyciągnięte z wody i jeszcze całkiem żywe. Wszystko jest dobrze pomyślane na targowisku – zakupione kraby ... Read more >

Today as a special treat for Kindergarten we had watermelon for English class. ‘Why?’ you may ask. Each week we have been learning about a new letter of the alphabet. Kindergarten learns some vocabulary words that start with the letter of the week, ... Read more >

Temples, Tuk Tuks and Smiling faces

Fri, 8 May 2015 | By | Views [233] | Scholarship Entry

It was dangerously close to the side of the road, among the constant musical beeps and toots from hundreds of scooters and Tuk Tuks, that I had a quiet moment of reflection in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The place amazed me - it was organised chaos. Bikes weaved ... Read more >

My metanoia

Mon, 25 May 2015 | By | Views [215] | Scholarship Entry

My first trip was 3 years ago: 27 years old, female, small, and inexperienced. I was stuck. I had been following the universal path: college, then job, then marriage and wait to die. At that point, I lost everything and therefore I lost my direction.... Read more >

An expat desperate to stay in Vietnam, I was en route for a visa run to Cambodia. My trip to Phnom Penh was protocol. The capital city represented ground zero for cheap booze, sex trafficking and NGOs using the recent genocide to justify their organizations’ ... Read more >
