Mr J

I though you would like to see a picture of Mr J who looks after me and makes sure that I don't get lost.



He is an exceptionally nice man - newly married (8 months ago) and really loves children.  He often comes into the classroom with me and will translate or give the children instructions in Khmer.  He is employed Monday to Friday by the volunteer organisation here as my driver but is available at weekends.  Paying him to take me to the temples (about 10km) away for the day is about $15.  He is very knowledgeable about the temples and is very careful about not bumping through potholes or making some of the dubious traffic moves that other drivers do .....


Tuk Tuk outside the neighbouring hotel

All the Tuk Tuks are very similar and attached to a basic motorcycle with a frame and pinion so they can be removed and used separately.  They usually have advertising on the back or a sign to say the Tuk Tuk has been donated.  The electric cables on the pole are normal - here the electricity will go off quite frequently but this hotel (Motherhome Inn) is more modern and seems better wired.
