http://annamaton.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
The opinions expressed here are my own opinions. They do not necessarily reflect the views of VSO. Saturday, 22 November 2008. Off She Went With a Trumpety Trump. I left mum on Koh Chang, island of elephants, on Friday and she headed on to Singapore as I returned to Phnom Penh. But not before we had enjoyed what Koh Chang had to offer and we finished the holiday off in style with elephant riding, snorkelling and swimming in waterfalls. She was left on the (very tame) elephant for quite some time with no ...

Anna in Cambodia: May 2009
http://annamaton.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
The opinions expressed here are my own opinions. They do not necessarily reflect the views of VSO. Thursday, 28 May 2009. Holidays well and truly over, the first week back at work was jam packed with travelling back and forth, meetings and a really bad cold! Everyone who was involved participated really positively, the atmosphere was light and fun (Deirdre and I were very good at humiliating ourselves by singing the toilet song with actions, which helped! And the students were fantastic. And so the feeli...

The opinions expressed here are my own opinions. They do not necessarily reflect the views of VSO. Monday, 9 March 2009. Ok, huge apologies for the distinct lack of blog updates of late. My laptop and consequently all three of my memory sticks are riddled with viruses which has prevented me from uploading the most recent log entries and photos. Bare with me, there are at least 4 on the way! Links to this post. Sunday, 1 March 2009. Barbara Glacel and Emile Robert Jr. William B. Given, Jr. A Pinch of Salt.

The opinions expressed here are my own opinions. They do not necessarily reflect the views of VSO. Thursday, 30 April 2009. An old fart an' his moll! Dad's words, not mine! I can't remember the exact context of the conversation we were having but Dad came out with this reference to himself and Colette, I nearly wet myself laughing and thought it was the perfect title of this blog entry. It was worth it however when we reached the Sida village, although I swear there was a quicker way there from the road!

Anna in Cambodia: Home Sweet Home
http://annamaton.blogspot.com/2009/08/home-sweet-home.html
The opinions expressed here are my own opinions. They do not necessarily reflect the views of VSO. Friday, 28 August 2009. It was an absolute pleasure to return home to Phnom Srok after another long stint out of the district and I had certainly been missed! My landlord was almost jumping for joy when I pulled up on my moto (either he was trying to distract his baby son from crying or he was relieved I was back to pay my electricity bill!

Anna in Cambodia: December 2008

The opinions expressed here are my own opinions. They do not necessarily reflect the views of VSO. Wednesday, 24 December 2008. Happy Merry Christma and Chol Chnam Tmei! Christmas felt even more irrelevant this year than last year! Unlike the UK there is no build up to the festive season here in Cambodia: no buying presents, no sending cards, no Christmas parties, no “jingle bells” in all the shops you walk into since September, no school play and no de-icing the car windscreen before work! A relaxed Chr...

Anna in Cambodia: January 2009
http://annamaton.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The opinions expressed here are my own opinions. They do not necessarily reflect the views of VSO. Sunday, 4 January 2009. And this time I stopped myself and decided to hand the problem over to my colleagues. There must be something we can do without going begging to a foreign organisation! I mean, lets encourage some self-sufficiency here! Some sustainable problem solving! My DOE colleague promised to request a meeting with the governor and there we left the matter. Links to this post. He also suggested...
