Update from Cambodia!


After another 5 weeks in the Kingdom of Wonder, I need to update my blog.

As I’m getting used to the travelling between Phnom Penh, Battambang and Kampong Cham. Why not leaving again to Kampong Cham after 3 days being back from Battambang J

But the last two weeks were my last weeks of travelling. I’ll be in Phnom Penh now for a while. I like the travelling, because Battambang and Kampong Cham are really nice cities and it’s nice to follow up the Belgian students, but it will be lovely to be in one place for a while!

In the beginning of March we had a good “preparation inset training” workshop in Kampong Cham. I also observed and evaluated some interesting lessons from the Belgian students (Nathan and Marieke). On Monday evening the 4the of March, we were invited by Sokhany’s family to have dinner. I never had such good food! There was an amazingly good fish curry and a very good chicken curry! I’m still salivating if I think about it.

Waiting to see a 'spectacular experiment' from Nathan...

International Woman’s day! I’m in the right country because that’s a holiday over here J I Had a very lazy day of tanning and reading at the pool. In the weekend I went cycling with some friends. We took the ferry to the other side of the Mekong (Areyksat). There we had an easy cycle trip in the country side with some nice views. So different from Phnom Penh, but still so close!

The week of the 11the of March almost all my colleagues went to Belgium for the seminar from VVOB. I have to admit.... I was jealous! It would be nice to be in Belgium for a week, see my family and friends! But ... we also enjoyed the quiet time in the office, and we had our own “Belgian party” ;)

The weekend when my colleagues came back was fantastic; they brought a big package from my family for me. The box was filled with delicacies from Belgium (Lots of chocolat, cheese, honey,  ... ) and lovely letters and cards! Thank you so much!

In between working, travelling, evaluating, ...  I also had some lovely nights out with my friends here in Phnom Penh.


See you next time!
