Last Day in Cambodia

After a very full 6 weeks, I’m making my way back to the states tomorrow. Recent Highlights include:

Watching many firework displays along the riverside in Phnom Penh: the old King’s birthday, the new King’s financee, Independence Day from French…

Had a minor accident leaving Siem Reap. Had to stop our car suddenly to avoid a pedestrian and were immediately rear-ended by a motorcycle. Although damage was very minimal, the police were on the scene immediately. One hour and $15 later, we were back on the road.

Stopped at the famous 1000 year old bridge on the way back…still used and often holds heavy traffic ranging from ox carts to 6 people on a moto.

Attended the 4th Colloquium of International Prosecutors at the ECCC in Phnom Penh. Busses from all over Cambodia and a wide range of media outlets attended the event simulcast in three languages (english, khmer, french). Deputy Prime Minister Sok An opened the event before exiting soonafter.

This 1989 Toyota Camry drove over 1000km in less than a week over numerous types of terrain without a problem.

Interviewed one of the “100 most influential people in the world” (according to Time Magazine), Youk Chhang at the Documentation Center of Cambodia.

Shot some aerial shots of the Phnom Penh surrounding area from an ultra-light plane.
