Getting Ready


Just getting all my kit packed and ready for my trip to Cambodia. Flying with Emirates on the 21st of this month (October) and will be staying for at least 1 year. Emirates is good as they give you 30Kg checked baggage to play with. Most of mine will be taken up with Camera equipment with just a small bag of essential clothing as I intend to buy some new stuff on arrival in Phnom Penh. I will be basing myself in Phnom Penh, staying in my usual haunt, The Walkabout Hotel on 51st
Got a few trips planned, another visit to Angkor Wat is definately on the cards. I am also planning on visiting, and hopefully, working with Share The Health,Cambodia, a small hospital that they have set up between Siem Reap and PP. I hope to do an article and photoset also there to publicise there sterling work..
I also intend to visit and photograph Stung Mean Chey, the PP dump and its people, and spend some time at the school.

The times I have spent previously in Cambodia have been relatively short stays (6 to 8 weeks) but this time I will be using PP as my base for at least 1 year and will be travelling widely into places the normal ''tourist'' will rarely get to.
