September 2013, Cambodia - village life near the school where we were working

1. A local shop - the shop keeper also volunteers at the school as a teacher. He was one of the people we were working with during the two weeks.

 2. The village around the school is a rural one. The people are very poor. Most of the adults have little or no education.

3. A typical village house. The area was flooding while we were there and at the end of our two weeks, some of the houses had water inside.

September 2013, Cambodia - the volunteer teachers enjoying Siem Reap

1. 

 1. We enjoyed cocktails every night - $2 each. This bar was on a rooftop. There are endless bars and restaurants in Siem Reap because the city has a good tourist industry. Tourists come to visit the Ankor Wat temples.

I really enjoyed the food - curries with subtle flavours and great salads using green mango and green pawpaw. A meal costs about $3.

2. One night we went to a cooking school. We all chose two dishes from the menu and cooked our own. It was great fun and I now know how to make a fresh spring roll that doesn't collapse.
