So pleased to see the Open Development Cambodia team ‘walk their talk’! That’s my team!

Above: US Ambassador Todd asked us to ‘like’ his Facebook page. (Not what I would ordinarily expect in a diplomatic intro. )

Yrs truly w/host (and blogger) Soma Norodom. Looking to be a fun and informative event!

Regardless of how people may feel about how this issue played out as a protest & in the media, it’s good to see families reunited.
More: just Google “Boeung Kak“.

Judgement Day In Cambodia

Jinja — Wed, 18 May 2011 11:28:17 +0000

Today’s Cambodia Daily noted that municipality of Phnom Penh AND the Ministry of Information has ordered a spate of apocalyptic Christian billboards (put up by ‘Cambo Advertising’ company) in Phnom Penh to be removed. (They were originally to be taken down on Saturday, prior to rapture.)

The one featured here on the Tonle Bassac building says ‘Pray Strongly To God’ and notes ’21 May 2011′. Personally? I’m just waiting for the Monday morning interviews.

Ratanakiri Weekend – Part 02 – Yeak Lom Lake (Photo Wednesday)

An iridescent green jewel surrounded by trees. Ahhh.

Particularly interesting: on the path around the lake is a small tourist centre. Cultural tourism by Cambodians largely targeted AT ethnic Khmers. It’s always interesting to see how a country is internally represented to its own people – i.e. the Cambodian Cultural Village.
