Some final photos from my travels here in Cambodia for your enjoyment : This photo gives you an idea of just how tall these trees really are. There is a woman taking a photo dwarfed by this massive tree. Many of them have grown directly out of the temple ruins and are now menacing the temples'[...]]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 08:06:00 +0200 098b18d586160ef5f4f71b1e772c0db2 Voyage http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11397545-6.html#anchorComment http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11377542.html
Hello ! Tomorrow, I return to "civilization", as I know it. It's hard for me to believe that five weeks have past and it's now time to return home to obligations and my OU coursework. This field school experience and Cambodia in general has been a really wonderful challenge punctuated with new[...]]]> Wed, 18 Jul 2007 01:55:00 +0200 159a00316eeee49952e75c8c7ee95a44 Voyage http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11377542-6.html#anchorComment http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11341976.html
Hello again !! I'm once again in Angkor Wat or Siem Riep for a more relaxed visit. My anthropology field school is now officially ended. On Friday, July 14th, we had a big dinner for all the Cambodian American students. It was a bit sad to see the whole thing end, but I was indeed a bit tired[...]]]> Sun, 15 Jul 2007 16:31:00 +0200 62e7109b517eeebf3df913338dec9400 Voyage http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11341976-6.html#anchorComment http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11303718.html
Hello ! Yes, I'm still alive and well after my bout with illness here in Cambodia. What wonder drugs antibiotics really are ! Like a good soldier wounded but not yet dead, I went back to my village today. I was happy to see my two Khmer translators and I think the feeling was mutual. It was a[...]]]> Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:27:00 +0200 479fb2ef926b1c664a8d9a24b4ab94ac Voyage http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11303718-6.html#anchorComment http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11282301.html
Hello again. Thanks for coming back to my blog. Today's missive is not such a good one. Everyone said that most foreigners eventually get sick here in Cambodia, well the unjoyous event happened to me, myself and I ! It all started Sunday evening: fever, headache, runs, dizziness... I thought I[...]]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 08:42:00 +0200 9298dbae97cbd4955e7e5ffee1c9219a Voyage http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11282301-6.html#anchorComment http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11237816.html
Hello. My research Thursday & Friday went well. We started our interviews of villagers. At one interview we started with a woman and ended up after 25 minutes with more than 5 adults, 12 kids, 2 babies, 2 large cows, chickens and a dirty cat !!! The interviews are what we call "semi-directive"[...]]]> Sun, 08 Jul 2007 11:24:00 +0200 30eeca55ad7e162124b8983132fa0677 Voyage http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11237816-6.html#anchorComment http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11202171.html
It’s already the 4th day of research in the “VultureEggVillage” (Wat Tmat Pong). “Happy 4th of July” by the way… All is going well. The story of the village basically says that there were two vultures living in this place before it was decided to build here. I found out through Dr. Judy who[...]]]> Thu, 05 Jul 2007 17:23:00 +0200 b1749e30dfb755ed1ceeda292f663840 Voyage http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11202171-6.html#anchorComment http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11148482.html
Hello ! Bonjour ! Today, I woke up at a very early 5:15 am on a Monday morning in order to have breakfast, shower and be ready to leave at 6:30 am. We each went to our respective villages today for the first time. The ride out was fine and we finally reached my village after 45 minutes.

Sosdai ! I returned to PP yesterday night by minivan from Siem Riep. Today and tomorrow are free days. I was supposed to visit the Angkor Borei archeological site in the South but the trip was cancelled. I'm a bit upset but that's life, I suppose. I met with Sister Regina today from the[...]]]> Thu, 28 Jun 2007 08:44:00 +0200 411f452d41f1c5d899b55d5214db19fe Voyage http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11080831-6.html#anchorComment http://dukekhmer.over-blog.com/article-11037595.html
Hello blog readers ! Thanks for coming back. We left the hotel in Phenom Pehn early on Saturday morning. We had our same faithful and skilled minivan driver. We were joined by a woman who works in the Dean's office at NIU and who knows Dr. Ledgerwood. The drive to Siem Riep took six hours.
