Out for the first time!

It has been a month since I started my work in a climate change project. I am not working as a climate change specialist but still a communication guy. Though, working in this project is my good chance to learn about this topic as the world is worrying about the global warming!

Early this month, I had a chance to meet project staff from the fields of the two targeted provinces, Kratie and Preah Vihea. Those are the people who work directly with farmers and make results. I learnt a lot of their experiences through personal conversations.

For privacy reasons, I will not show their photos here. But I still have some nice views of Kompong Cham, where I met them. (More photos, please see the photo section)

Waiting for the sunset or a boat?

The bridge is for my cows too!

Don't worry! We have the patrolling boats too!

London from my window

One day in London, snow was coming and I was observing from my window. Birds were playing, people were rushing, cars were gearing up their speeds, and more from my live TV window.

Cambodia needs Toyota or vice versa?

If the plan to build a Toyota factory in Cambodia succeeds, it will be a new step in the country's development. Both sides, Cambodia and Toyota, will benefit of course. The question is who will gain more? And how can Cambodia maximize its benefits from this investment? Toyota is looking for new markets after its sales decreased this year. Cambodia's rapid economic growth for the last few years and its low cost of labour are two attractions for the company. Those factors should make Cambodia a good market for Toyota. Some rich Cambodians are waiting for the chance to buy the latest Toyota cars to drive in the streets without paying import tax. But poor, rural Cambodians will not see any benefit from the new auto factory. They might have hoped that the factory will provide jobs to their children but their children's farming skills will be of no use to Toyota. Cambodia, of course, will receive foreign capital from a Toyota factory. The country will also have the opportunity...

Snakes, give me a break!

A street vender in Kompong Cham today asked me to try this special dish. "Brother one of these snakes will fit well with a can of beer," she suggested. I was not convinced as snakes are always my scary creatures. They do not look delicious although they were cooked with promising ingredient. "No thanks, just looking," I replied and left.
