Early morning, on tuesday, april 22 i got up very early morning to catch the taxi to Neakleung. It was a bit hard for me to get up at 5:00am. I have to rush for everything prepare for the early morning journey. Because the unwell planned, i got the information on monday that i have to travel on tuesday at 6:00am so i would be able to meet with the district chief and the director of health centre in mesang at 10:00am.

However, at that morning i was a bit late to catch the taxi at chbar ampov. So i departure at 6:15am with my boss where she was waiting for me there about 15 minutes before i arrived. On the road to neakleung on that way was quite good because not very busy as normally people said it’s very busy. So we were able to cross the ferry early at 7:15am.

On the other side of the river, there were 2 motorbike waiting for us with the letter to show us. That’s cool! No later, we got on the motor with our stuffs and moving toward mesang district. We were on the motor for almost like 2 hours to get there at mesang.

I cannot remember the road quite well even though i used to visit there once in late 2006. So we get there just before the meeting supposed to start. The meeting went on for about 1 hour and we leaved the place to go to there place where we stayed and had lunch. Then i rest for about 30minutes during the lunch break .

Quite a lot of thing to do there, visiting the health project, meeting the staff and i had a chance to go to some of there house as well while other busy with their works. I wish i could stay there longer since i really enjoy the meals and the nice breath there up the countryside.

5:00pm on the same day, we finished the meeting and i went back to see the children playing football at the football field, a nice place where it got the shade from the tree surround it. A while later we had dinner and went on talking until 8:00pm and it was late this time at the countryside. But strange there were two wedding near the place where i stay, they started the dancing late at 9:00pm.

So there were nothing else to do, i just went to bed early about 9pm too. The music didn’t disturb me at all since i felt tired for the whole day on that day. It’s cool at night with the windy nice blow…the next day i just stay there for a few more hours and leaved at 10:00am. I arrived back to the city around 1:00pm. Just sleep at that noon…

We set a plan to get up in the early morning with our youth group from GCC to gather together at 7.00am to get the on the van to Kampot province. Unluckily we were a bit late, so we departure at 7.45am.

It was a happy day on that day that there about 30 of our youth group went on a picnic to the province. We use two vans for transportation to go there. It was kind a funny traveling that everyone kept singing, playing and telling story all the way to Mlich resort.

We arrived there around 10.30am, and then we saw a nice place with clear water the lake and surrounded by the mountain sites. Just to mention, Mlich is the newly found resort in the recent year.

We spent time there to swim and taking pictures with all of our teams. There were also other group came to visit Mlich on that day. What we like the most is to swim in the clear water and enjoyed going on the duck-boat where can load up to 5 or 6 people on it and two people can cycling to push the duck-boat. Yeah! it was a beautiful day on that day. It was a bit tired for me as i don’t swim very often. So i better practice more often.

Then at the mid day we relax for lunch and just for food time. Not to mention, the local there are very nice they prepared all the set of foods to welcome us…but then they asked for money too…lolz.

If you notice the water is very clear and if you happen to go there once, i’m sure you will be likely to set a plan to go there again. However, it is not very expensive as some other place where i used to visit.

I encourage if you want to visit there, don’t just go alone cos you will be very lonely haha.  Get your group to go there. It is not the sea but just a lake that surrounded by the beautiful mountains.

It was a peaceful place where i enjoyed myself sitting under the shade of trees looking around to the very beautiful view of the countryside. Normally, i spend my weekend at the countryside with a group of friends to do the church ministries at the province. There at the countryside i found a lot of things to enjoy with such as the fresh airs that i could hardly find in town, the beautiful rice fields, the tree, the people lifestyle in the countryside, animal and especially it is very relaxing. People at the countryside also nicer than those who live in town.

If you experience living in town and you visit the countryside you will understand the communication between countryside people and city people. The two are completely different. Ones at the countryside are friendly and faithful to what they talk and honest to people and welcome to new comers. I like them because i feel accepted unlike in the city even you live next door but you will never learn anything or good relationship with them. They scare to share with us and we scare to share with them. No later, there is no relationship and no communication. People in the city tend to don’t care for whatever happen to their neighbors and sooner it would create hates as well.

Thank God for the natural resources that Cambodia has and fully offer to people to enjoy the mountain sites, the beaches, water falls and of course it can not talk in just a few words. Not to mention about angkor wat the great city temple in the jungle. In the past few years i visited battam band and i found it as a great place as well as people are very nice and welcome. I once was sitting kratie and steung treng for the wedding of a friend of mine. It’s so wonderful spending time at the countryside. I am a country boy too, yeah!

Enjoy your time discover your traveling in Cambodia. The best relaxing place you can find for your holidays.

Have you ever heard this simple question? I guess you might heard it if you experience with traveling or have people traveling within Cambodia or from outside of the country. It is vary depend on the situation, i think. For local people traveling from place to places within the country every single trip not exceeded 20USD where the minimum price could start from 2.50USD.

Cambodia one month trip is quite an interesting thing where cover almost all places in the country. It tells where you suppose to go in cambodia and it is very interesting to see the offer to the destination that you will explore in the country. The mean of transportation is both to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh have international airports, so some will be starting the trip in one of those two spots, though those entering Cambodia overland will have a range of options.

And at the beach of Cambodia is a great place to visit if you visiting Cambodia. Don’t miss it always. This is another estimate prices that would be a helpful resources and guide you to spend on your vacation holidays in Cambodia. Of course, you will never forget the most precious temple of Angkor Wat city in the jungle too.

In those trips whether it is short or long, if you plan not to spend money to stay at the luxury places, you will save a lot of money. So spending mostly for your accommodations, cost of traveling and foods. But if you are planning to buy something as a memory to visiting cambodia then just ready some pocket money so you can spend it at the market for some cloths, jewelry and so on.

Traveling is one of the great things for some people and it is a good time for them to relax and enjoy their lives as well. Being a person traveling from one place to another places you may have been experiencing with many things around you. Probably with the food you ate, the weather, the culture, people, transportation and others.

I was wondering what are those thing that you are likely to face in your traveling. It is might be useful if you can share some tips and experience that you had in your traveling with us here. To recall to some of those experience that i travel in a short distance in the country only i usually face often difficulties with transportation where i heard people complain from time to time. But i never learn anything about the transportation in asia is like. So i would like to know if you have anything that is touching you want to share with us about the transportation or tour in asia.

It is very beneficial as people who experienced sharing the ideas who other who are new in traveling will learn to avoid the difficulties and make useful to improve both the quality of tour operation an traveling means to build safely and satisfaction to tourists and travelers.

Why Transportation is Important in Traveling?

I just learned it from a few people and my friends that they are happy or not most of the time is the transportation that they are offered. If the transportation tend to make difficulty a long the way to any places then it will spoil all the thing that they suppose to enjoy and happy with their friends, family or other traveling mates. Are that statement true? Have you had any ideas about this situation?

I guess so if the transportation means is bad then something will happen to be bad too where travelers will most likely hate it too much. It a little far, but just to focus on the tour operation company transportation would be best to choose for traveling in asia? It would be nice if you can drop of some comments and advices that you have experience with.

How many more times should i talk about its marvelous and the precious temple of angkor wat? Even though i visited angkor quite many times but it is still the good place where i have to say it is a wonderful place. It is very proud from Cambodia that angkor wat is known to be the great thing of this country.

I can’t believe it if i never see it with my eyes of how the khmer ancient people constructed this temple. I guess, You probably are not going to believe it too if you don’t see it anyway. But it is just happen to be true that this temple existed and stand to show its glories in the jungle of cambodia’s land.

How great is the temple and i really admired the olden days of cambodia and how the people constructed this temple. To imagine, the building of Angkor Wat was build by human being where there were no modern construction tools as today but people can make it with all the nice shape.

Many people are talking about the great temple of angkor wat and the city of angkor and also compelled their words into books that make available to readers as well. On of the great book that talks about angkor wat temple and the city is “The Angkor City and Temples” that i haven’t read it yet. You can also hear wat people talks about it here:

Angkor Cities And Temples is perhaps one of the most beautiful books I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Everything about it beckons the reader to remain absorbed in its pages. The text by Claude Jacques is erudite, well-written, and very well translated. The photography by Michael Freeman is astonishingly good. Not only by virtue of his technical skills, which are considerable, but because he handles the art and architecture of the monuments with a tremendous sensitivity to detail and a glorious feel for the way in which light interacts dramatically with stone. Together, the flowing text and luminous colour images provide a wondrous exposure to an ancient world of great sophistication and profound aesthetic development.

As i am a Cambodian, i love my country and we Cambodians love you too. Cambodian is found to be a rich cultural resources country in natural resources and hers people. I talked to many people, visitors and my friends who are coming from different countries visiting cambodia. They said that cambodia is great especially the cambodian are very nice to them.

Of course, you are lucky if you married to Cambodian, it was the expression of my friends and a teacher of mine at school. I was so proud to be born as Cambodian though living in the third world country where is moving forward as a developing country. What else should i do then? Nothing much but to love my country and love other people too. That’s why i learn to get to know many friends around me as well as expatriates where we can experience from one another as we are born in different countries and growing in different cultures.

As what i have seen people are doing here is so lovely with I LOVE CAMBODIA, i like it. It is very lovely stuff. This is something make the one who use it remember the word I Love Cambodia every time.

This is a great tote bag. Very useful . Ideal for daily use and anytime ! . All TopExpressions products are made under strict quality controls. 100% canvas cotton.

What make it becomes the most interesting thing is the Red logo where it say I ‘LOVE’ Cambodia. I guess, i could not find any other interesting just like this one yet. It’s very cut. See?

However, i will always want to discover many other interesting thing and i like to share it with you too. So if you like it just let me know with you world by commenting me or else you can bring me to see other interesting thing too.

I hope you like it and enjoy your time discovering and learning from my various other posts on this website. Enjoy your time seeing around.

What was traveling in Cambodia is like and to hear what the travelers talk about Cambodia. One of the famous book that is called “Into the Dark Heart of Guns, Girls, and Ganja (Paperback)“, written by Amit Gilboa viewing the though of traveling in Cambodia.

Time Magazine, February 1, 1999. By Jeffrey Ressner

As a literary genre the travel narrative is often genteel to the point of yawn-inducing boredom. Maybe that’s why first-time author Amit Gilboa’s recent book, Off the Rails in Phnom Penh, is causing such a stir in Southeast Asia. Just one glance at the subtitle–”Into the Dark Heart of Guns, Girls, and Ganja”–tells you his hellish holiday in Cambodia will unfold more like a gonzo rant from Hunter S. Thompson than an erudite essay by Paul Theroux.

Gilboa spins a fascinating if somewhat fractured tale about a beautiful country whose people have been ravaged by decades of turmoil.

With its mix of random jottings, bizarre character sketches and diary entries, Gilboa’s account plunges readers into the center of the Khmer storm.

Joseph au Cambodge express his interest about the situation and what was saying in the book as:

I was nevertheless taken aback by the chapter entitled “Khmers”. There are interesting remarks in that chapter on the character of Cambodians but the tricky part is the idea that no foreigner could ever understand nor get to know intimately the Cambodians. Just because it has never been done (among Gilboa’s acquaintances) doesn’t prove that it cannot be done!
More seriously, the way it was put, was shocked. It’s true that for foreigners, in-depth intellectual contact is not easily made with Cambodians. Western and Khmer cultures have indeed very little in common. But even if very few people do so (I have probably met no more than four or five Westerners who spoke a perfect Khmer), it is possible to learn the language thoroughly and immerse oneself in the Cambodian culture.

Tuk Tuk service is becoming popular and popular day by day in phnom penh. Not only the foreign visitors who are using the Tuk Tuk service to go around visiting and discovering different places in the city and around phnom penh but also the local people use it a lot. I bet if you take Tuk Tuk to travel you will find it is much more convenience than Moto Dup (Moto taxi) or by bus because while sitting on the Tuk Tuk you can interact with the shot of different picture views easily and also avoid going under the heat of the sun as well.

The Tuk Tuk is different from moto dup because there is a big roof on top of the seats and can load more than moto dup. 6 people is a well fit to one Tuk Tuk. And if you go in group you will surely find yourself enjoy seeing other people traveling too. While sitting on the Tuk Tuk the open space enables you to see other things around you a long the roadsides.

Beside all taking picture, seeing people going walking, riding or driving you will feel relax sitting on the Tuk Tuk. Why? Because you don’t have to worry like sitting on the moto dup at all. Everything is taking care of like your bags and other stuffs that you carry with.

I once was traveling on the Tuk Tuk with a group of friend to go outside of phom penh. It was really a good time for us going on with a few Tuk Tuk outside of the town. It was fun indeed and i tried to drive a little bit too. But ugly though. Just try.

My getting start to know what cambodia and its people is like, i have found this book the lonely planet is the best book telling you about cambodia. I recommend it if you like discover and visit cambodia and spend all your good time in this country. This book was written by Nick Ray in 2005 and the other book is also a good book to discover about cambodia, lao, vietnam and the greater mekong countries that make your travel and your stay a cool holiday vacation.

Phnom Penh is the main capital city of cambodia where home to more than 1 million people. The city now is much different from the past few years where services were not able to cover every needs of both the local people and tourists who visit cambodia.

In this recent year there are so many different services where people can access to ranking from education, hospital,…the private sector and public sector are too available in the social.

If talking about tourism in cambodia, there are increase in number of visitors each year. Specially in phnom penh people like to go on tour by using tuk tuk. It is just found in the cambodia tourism services in the past few years.

Traveling by tuk tuk will save you a lot of money traveling in town. Love traveling with tuk tuk save you money.

This is a shrimp (some say lobster) is found at the beach in kam pong som where you cannot forget it taste once you try it. If you just walk at the beach for a few steps, you will surely see this shrimp fly with flour that put even more tasty to the food of your tongue.

Usually, it is place on the basket and carry on top of the head for selling. Very often, the lady or the children who sell it. If you haven’t try it yet then you should try one once you have chance to visit the beach.

This is a nice dish with awesome taste if you had once taste it. Just look and imagine how great and tasty it is if it were on your table for a meal. Together with different vegetables surround the big crab. Oh! i tell you. It’s very delicious.

A small stand on the road side selling various types of stone and shell jewelry, you can’t miss at the seaside of kampong som. They quite interesting thing to see. You will surely see the small business selling such thing on the beach or near by.

Visitor usually stop and buy this beautiful gift for their friends, relatives, family and especially for their beloved one. It is the product from the deep sea where it is hard to find on the market. Very seldom that people sell this at the market in town. It is available only in particular place like kampong som…etc.

If you visit there, you don’t have to walk or look for it. There will be children or adults who do this business by selling sea decoration jewelry come to you during the time you are at the beach. More over kampong som is a good place for tourism site as well. Enjoy your time.

Tom Nub Mlich is one of the newly discovered tourism site where found to be a great place for tourist in Cambodia in the past few years. Now Tom Nub Mlich has been popular to both the local people and the foreigner. It is located on the half way of national road no.3 where reach to the very popular seaside “Kep”, Waterfall (Teuk Chhou), and the Zoo in Teuk Chhou.

Since this place has opened to visitors in 2006, it has been very fast growing in number of tourists come to visit daily. It becomes a great place for swimming, boating, and relaxing where surrounded by the mountain called “Neareay Mountain”. This place is located just behind the mountain that is why no one know about this in the past years.

This place is about 97km far from Phnom Penh just 10km less than the main popular district in Chhouk and then from Chhouk to Kampot Province is another 40km. Mlich is a very frest and new natural site to welcome all visitor for its great beauty. If you visit kampot province, then don’t forget to stop by at this place and you will be attracted by the beautiful nature around.

Then if you plan to stay longer visiting this place, you will then have a closer place to stay at the guest house at chhouk district where 10km far from Mlich. Discovered your journey with pleasure.

The picture bellow are the group of campers trying to build the sandy turtle at the Oturtiel Beach.

They are all very genius engineer of sandy status. I really love their artwork. This group worked very well in their team at our annual camp this year.

This is a picture of one of our small group team at the Annual Youth Camp 2007, in Sihanouk Ville.

In the early morning, August 22, 2007, there were about 150 youth were gathering at the GGC. We were very happy to get ready for the camp on that day in sihanouk ville. The camp were on the 22nd to the 24th.

After the leaders calling to give the name tags for everyone, then we got our stuffs loaded on the bus. There were two big groups. The blue group were on the first bus and the red group were on the 2nd bus. Another mini van was for the team of 12 people from the united state.

It was such a nice day that day when we left the GCC, it was raining a little bit. The weather enable us to go on the bus without any difficulty of getting the hot hit for the sunlight.

After more than two hours traveling on the bus we stop at Pich Nile for lunch. It was about 10.40am. Some of our youth group bought some food to eat and other brought their food along with them. Happy happy lunch break on the way! After about haft an hour for lunch and resting their we then continued our journey to sihanouk ville.

Finally we arrived kampong som around 12.30pm. Wow, when we arrived their everything look so fresh. We feel the new environment. When we look to the other side, there were plenty of food got ready for us.

After checking in and count all the people, we came down for the food that were ready for us on the table. So we went on with our first program with a joyful heart on that day after lunch.

Blog or web log becomes a very powerful tool today for personal use purposes, business, advertising and so on. But when talking about blog some people think that they cannot make it work at all. Why? It might be hurt if they don’t know what to do with blog and don’t know to write about what. Then it must be the problem.

Recently, i went across some blog that help me great ideas of how to blog. They didn’t teach you how to blog directly but amazing work laid behind if you read these blog such as Beth’s blog. The owner of this blog makes her blog post everyday. It is sweet for the search engine and it is good enough to inspire the search engines come to visit her blog very often. I wish to learn more from her as she is one of the success bloggers that knows all the secrete about blogging. I never meet her or know her but honestly i can learn a lot through her daily blog posts.

Some others people, let me call them senior bloggers virak, Sreisaart that they do well in their in blogging. If you are curious about blogging and want to learn how to blog I recommend that you join the Cambodia Bloggers Summit that will be held at PUC at the end of this August 2007. I wish i could attend this program, but mmm, i have to work. I will miss this chance. So if you learn something please share it with me phong…

On sunday after lunch, a group of about 10 youth from got their stuffs ready quickly load on the van to travel to the villages. We were in the van a bit tired because we had many programs in the morning and rust for lunch then had to leave outside the town very quickly. Some of us are very sleepy while in the van that was because after eating.

Even though we are busy and tired with our morning work but that didn’t keep us quiet. Everyone is very active and talk a lot while we were on the way to the village. The blessing is that we have the new van to travel this week. It makes us very exciting with this great blessings.

When we reach the places there were many people waiting for us. So we started to unload our stuffs and prepared all the material for teaching, games and so on. After a two hours session, we load all the stuffs in the van went back to our church. It was a good time talking to villager as well as to see how they are doing out there.
