June 21. Recording…

We check in a real hotel because we have a mission: recording a demo video for a TED-talk. I am applying to hold a 18-minute TED presentation with an independent TED event in Perth, Australia, and they requested a demo video. Putting away my self pride, that would have me waiting for them to follow …

June 20. Family!

We stay a second night in our tiny guesthouse, because we don't bother changing and we like the lady downstairs who handed us the key.

We have agreed to meet my cousin Ingeborg and her daughter Alycia, whom I meet for the first time. She is a very cute and precocious child of one year and a few months.

We need to record a video tomorrow, but lack the equipment. A taxi brings us to a massive electronics mall, where we …

June 19. Bangkok. The finger.

Our bus to Bangkok includes pick-up service and friendly caring drivers – and a bunch of complaining tourists. I can’t stand a group of British partygirls and the attitude they display. Anyway, the bus is fast and after a few hours and stopovers we arrive at the Thai border, the crossing of which is free …

June 18. Angkor Wat.

We take a very early bus to Siem Reap because we are ready for a little tourist break and Angkor Wat is not the worst backdrop for a short timeout. I doze off on the bus and hardly notice how the bus makes a grand detour around one of the largest lakes of southeast Asia. …

June 17. Shelved up. Or so.

I finish that darn bookshelf and Saveth, who has been reluctant and at first seems to be a  little bit flustered by my insistency, is happy with the result. After changing the hanging method as I had insisted, we finally manage to hang the bookshelf where we want it to be and start putting the …

June 16. Working Day.

This is a working day. We take the tuk-tuk to town and go shopping. I buy all kind of stationary for KNGO, ranging from a soccer ball to a few hundred notebooks, pens, bilingual storybooks to paint supplies and buckets. It is easy to find and we are quick and efficient, I like that so …

We arrive in Battambang in the morning, where Sun Saveth picks us up with his tuktuk. He has told us that his ngo (and his family) is poor. In order to make money, he has become a tuktuk-driver. We hope to be able to support him making his small ngo sustainable. Saveth has arranged accomodation …

Travellers can be more than consumers alone.

Can you change the world by traveling? Sure, there are eccentrics who hop around the world on one leg and allow us to sponsor them, or rich philantrophes who organize a soup kitchen on the deck of their yacht. But the normal tax payer? Apart from self-evident things like ecologically and socially responsible travel we …

The guesthouse is comfortable, and we got a good night’s rest. The following morning we show up at the foundation and organize a paper maché workshop with the children. This time, there are no disasters and the little ones show their amazing creativity again.

June 12. SSF my love.

We get up, move towards the river, order breakfast, buy bus tickets to Kampong Speu, where the foundation we are working with is located, and wait for our pickup service. The jolly, chubby man selling me these tickets has acquired a comfortable space with a view in the citadelle of my memory. Kampong Speu is …

Bus service is up to international standards, it’s just another boring ride with some waiting at the border but no major difficulties. Yeon get her 25 dollar visa at the …
