Urinoirs met ijsblokken

07 September 2007 | Cambodja, Phnom-Penh

..een allereerste update uit Cambodja!

Gisteravond zijn we geland na een deur-tot-deur reis van 26 uur. In het vliegtuig is het genieten en mijn benen spreken voor zich wanneer er een stoel wordt gereserveerd.

In Phnom Penh zijn we samen met 3 Amerikanen, een Spaanse, 2 Ieren en een Schotse verenigd. De komende 5 dagen is vooral handen schudden en sight seeing toertjes maken, daarna gaan we 6 weken taalcursus volgen.

Inmiddels krijg ik van iedereen dezelfde reactie wanneer ik zeg dat mijn placement in Rattanakiri is: It's so beautiful, een frons, en dan: And it is so isolated...

En de stad Phnom Penh? Vriendelijke mensen, verrassend beleefd verkeer (weinig getoeter), en grote ijsblokken in de urinoirs bij gebrek aan stromend water. En daarmee is de titel van dit bericht verklaard.

We gaan eten!

Verslag uit: Cambodja, Phnom-Penh

Cambodja

Dear friends, family, ex colleagues and new ones!!

Welcome to this site. New stories, reports, pictures and even video's of my work and private life (until a certain level) in Cambodia will be uploaded on this site. Messages, reactions by readers can be uploaded too. I will be more than happy to read them...

My departure for Cambodia comes closer everyday by now. September the 5th will be the day that I'm leaving Holland. As for now, I've finished my motorbike lessons, some training weekends, passed an extensive medical test (no epo was found ;)

After my arrival, I will attend courses (mainly the Cambodian langugage called Khmer) and will probably meet a lot of people together with the team of new arrivals. My employer in Cambodia will be the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport. I will be working on a district level as an educational adviser in a rough region of Cambodia. The district is called Rattanakiri (google the pics), not far from the border with Vietnam. From what I have seen so far it is an absolute scenic nature with hills, jungle, wild life and white water.

As for the internet and many other things, there are still a lot of questions to be answered how my life will change the next month. But with the questions comes that fantatic sensation of adventure. And with the uncertainty of not knowing what is out there in my daily life, comes the space to be able to make independent choices. I'm motivated to do this work as it is an opportunity to add a bit of human dignity to a world in which there is much more to share than I have done for the last years of my life. I'm looking more than forward to share professional knowledge and experience with a country that is still structurally suffering from a devastating regime of the past. Cambodia is trying to develop itself towards a country with a social and economic dignity. I'm looking foward to share, but will probably learn much more than I can share with the population out there.

I will try to keep everyone who is interested up to date. I do prefer to email personally but it might be a bit difficult to have decent acces to internet connection in Cambodia.

Please don't hesitate to write and to share whatever you feel like sharing. I will appreciate that.

Bas.
