I've been quite busy for the past 2 weeks cos I'm on my first assignment with BAT in Cambodia... Phnom Penh to be exact. Been here for 2 weeks already. Going home tmrw for the wkend and fly back here again on Mon for another week.. so this blog will be mainly on Cambodia.
The team consists of 6 ppl (2 singaporean, 3 malaysian & 1 cambodian). We've been given 2 cars & drivers to send us to the places we want to go. Of course, mainly for travel to and from hotel and office. But of course, all meals are taken outside the office. We have been living like expats here... makan also makan in expat restaurants. Been having really good food. Didnt really dare to eat local food cos my stomach is not good... even then I had some stomach problem for a few days.
First thing we did upon arrival was to have superb vietnamese lunch in the city then my boss took us to a genocide museum called Tuol Sleng or S-21. It was quite scary and sad to see the things the Khmer Rouge regime did to the ppl here. Apparently during 1975 - 1979 a few million ppl was killed. You can find out more at this site.
Last wkend the team flew to Siem Reap for 2 days to visit Angkor Wat. It was a superb trip! It was really amazing and it was quite scary and tough to climb the steep stairs all the way up to the top of the Wat. Also managed to catch the sun set on top of a mountain with a great view of Angkor Wat.Then this week, I had to go to one of the small province to follow the sales ppl selling cigarettes in the province. OMG!! Its like some kampong 20 yrs ago! Hotel was horrible... wont dare to go back there again.. apparently the hotel is haunted.
I will upload more pics in flickr when I get home this wkend.
