June 12. SSF my love.

We get up, move towards the river, order breakfast, buy bus tickets to Kampong Speu, where the foundation we are working with is located, and wait for our pickup service. The jolly, chubby man selling me these tickets has acquired a comfortable space with a view in the citadelle of my memory. Kampong Speu is ...

Welcome everybody, my name is Kamiel Verwer and I come from Holland. That's V-e-r-w-e-r. I am sure you are all on social media? Would you like to add me as your friend on...? I won't mention any companies, don't worry. But as it happens I found a guy with the same last name "verwer" living ...

June 11. On to Cambodia. A one-liner.

We take a bus to Cambodia in the early afternoon, leaving me just enough time to enjoy a last cinnamon frappucino or whatever it was. Bus service is up to international standards, it's just another boring ride with some waiting at the border but no major difficulties. Yeon get her 25 dollar visa at the ...

June 8-10. Calm days in a vibrant city.

We will be back! Mrs. Chinh has given us the address of a school that we visit today.
We take a taxi there, and as the driver was a little challenged by the address on the paper we handed to him, we could enjoy a fair bit of the backstreets of district four, HCMC.

June 6. We didn’t Miss Saigon.

Forget to tell you we took an overnight train last night. This time, we arrive in Ho Chi Minh city, formerly known as Saigon, and I insist on walking a bit first, before we realize that we are lost and take a taxi to the Gecko bar, a place in the center where there would ...

June 5. Three lakes.

As our original motorcycle fails to start, we are offered another one and go for a ride to the waterfall with the three lakes, a famous guidebook hotspot of the area and something we just feel like doing today.
The road! I have never been a roady [often masculine, s.one who loves the road], but ...
