It was beautiful and homey, except on the first day there was neither toilet paper nor bath towel. It was alright, I managed ;-)<BR/><BR/>Yes, I feel some of those silly questions were mine ;-p Next time I'll bring home one of those gigantic camper mosquito nets - your housekeeper was sleeping in it so I didn't want to disturb her with questions and poking around it!!!<BR/><BR/>Don't say sorry again Diana as I got a chance to experience cambodia like no ordinary tourist can - yay!<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to return and try out your tempting dishes at Bloom Cafe - I'll have anything veggie and chocolatey :-p<BR/><BR/>Lots of big hugs,<BR/>PaulineVegemighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700314609817067405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34932518.post-63819706066409935492007-03-24T04:16:00.000+07:002007-03-24T04:16:00.000+07:00Hi Somongkol,I had dinner with some teachers from ...Hi Somongkol,<BR/><BR/>I had dinner with some teachers from Northbridge and Bridgeton and Beltei. There are many new schools starting up in Phnom Penh. Some of the stories I hear about the kids at Northbridge, children of Cambodia's rich and famous, were very disturbing. I think rich people here are just like celebrities in the US, they literally get away with anything. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, will drop you email sometime about teaching. Tomorrow is my day at the tiny school run by Riverkids Project (www.riverkidsproject.org) under the Chrouy Changvar bridge (Japanese Friendship Bridge). I have no idea what to do with the kids, all under 10--maybe just crayons! It's 4:15am and I better get some sleep!Diana Sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446054467095216782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34932518.post-25760027528450382312007-03-24T04:07:00.000+07:002007-03-24T04:07:00.000+07:00Hi John,Thanks for that!

I had not met a single Cambodian in Singapore (except for Jimmy's adopted Cambodian kids). Maybe we should start a Singapore-Cambodia Friendship Association. <BR/><BR/>Hope you're well and sorry I've not been updating the blog. Cafe opens in 3 weeks after Khmer New Year! It'll be the start of the rainy season, so maybe not such a bright idea! haha!Diana Sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14446054467095216782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34932518.post-74255498069481663392007-03-13T08:05:00.000+07:002007-03-13T08:05:00.000+07:00That profile needs updating. :) Well, I used to te...That profile needs updating. :) Well, I used to teach English at the Royal University of Phnom Penh from 2003 until August last year. Presently, I am pursuing my Master in Higher Education Administration in Boston. <BR/><BR/>I am glad you are interested in our education system. Feel free to share your questions with me. I may not be an expert in the area, but I am very happy to share whatever I know with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34932518.post-36070567140901458392007-03-11T10:44:00.000+07:002007-03-11T10:44:00.000+07:00Hi Diana, Vireak in Singapore is also answering qu...Hi Diana, <BR/><BR/>Vireak in Singapore is also answering questions about Cambodia! <BR/>http://www.vireak.netJinjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248587329531331501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34932518.post-78549628064592741082007-03-02T10:28:00.000+07:002007-03-02T10:28:00.000+07:00Hi Somongkol,Thanks for the comment.
