Phnom Penh CS Dinner

CAMBODIA | Friday, 22 Aug 2008 | Views [755]

If you haven’t heard of Couchsurfing.com, you should check it out. It is by far my favorite website, ever. When I moved to Cambodia 3 months ago, I really wanted to get involved with the CS scene here, but I found it was quite dormant. Living at the ... Read more >

Notes from the Overground

CAMBODIA | Sunday, 3 Aug 2008 | Views [950] | Comments [2]

It has been a while since I have blogged and a lot has happened since my last blog. Last week I went back to the US to attend my sisters Emily’s wedding. It was weird being back in the States. I left just two months ago and I don’t think I was ready ... Read more >


Ready for Pain

CAMBODIA | Thursday, 24 Jul 2008 | Views [688]

In about an hour I will be leaving for the airport. I am going back to the states for my sisters wedding. When I left the states two months ago I had no idea I would be going back so soon. I'm looking forward to the wedding, seeing my friends and family ... Read more >

Back to the Beach

CAMBODIA | Wednesday, 16 Jul 2008 | Views [1162]

Right now CWF is on the one week mid semmester break. It's hard to believe that my commitment with CWF is halfway over. I am still working out what I will do when I am finished with CWF but I will get to that later. I decided to spend my week break ... Read more >


Random Thoughts

CAMBODIA | Saturday, 12 Jul 2008 | Views [971]

Here are a few random things that have been going on lately, none of which deserved their own blog. “I’ve got a rash man” I have been battling Prickly Heat Rash since I got here. At first I thought it was an allergic reaction to my laundry detergent, ... Read more >

CWF (my school)

CAMBODIA | Friday, 4 Jul 2008 | Views [2225] | Comments [1]

I found Conversations with Foreigners while searching online for volunteer opportunities in Cambodia. What initially appealed to me about CWF was there was no fee for volunteering. Most of the other volunteer sites I found cater to the volunteer vacation ... Read more >

Settled

CAMBODIA | Wednesday, 25 Jun 2008 | Views [628]

I’ve been here for almost a month. The 30 day visa I got issued at the airport expires in a few days and I need to get it renewed. The first couple of weeks were really hectic with orientation and training, and the first week of teaching was pretty ... Read more >


Day off in the City

CAMBODIA | Saturday, 21 Jun 2008 | Views [1200] | Comments [1]

Yesterday was the King’s Mothers Birthday, a National holiday here which meant a day off work. It fell on a Wednesday. I don’t know why we don’t get too many midweek holidays back in the States, it seems like all holidays are moved to Friday or Monday ... Read more >

I just finished my first week of teaching and I think it went pretty well. I really enjoyed the work and I am looking forward to 9 more weeks of teaching with CWF. That said the best part of any work week is always the weekend. It has been raining a ... Read more >
