Hello there,
Just a short message from Preah Sihanouk. The trip to sinahouk was breath taking, I enjoyed it a lot. Even though i had somebody sitting next to me who did not speak english. I still enjoyed it. The only downside is all the european / american men who travel with young asian women. You see it alot everywhere, white men with asian girls. I do not know if it should disturb me or not. But unfortunately one of the guys told me he got the girl pregnant, and that he did not care, as he was leaving soon anyway. On the way I saw a place with lots of spirithouses (see the picture) you find them everywhere. Cambodians pray there and leave food for the spirits. They come in al sorts of shapes and colours, one even prettier than the other.
Sihanoukville is nice and hilly, and beautiful white beaches, beautiful sunsets. I can't say I have done a lot here yet, mostly just enjoyed the beach and the sun, got a terrible sunburn. Dr Sophal took me out for dinner on saturday, he is a very kind man, and he's taking good care of me. He took me to a guesthouse, and I stayed there one night, and then I moved to another one. A little but further from the beach (5 mins instead of 3 mins). Its is nice and lots of foreigners there to talk to. Today I also went to the MCH clinic (mother and child health) to talk to dr Sophal about possibilities for the research, specially because he is going to phnom penh for a few days. But he will take me out for dinner again when he comes back.
Well this is all for now. No really interesting things have happened, just relaxing and enjoying life, and getting a suntan. I'll have more news soon.
Lots of Love, and missing you all!!!

February 13th 2006 - Jeline: enjoy the rest, work will come
hi velvet (hugs, kisses)
I am glad that you are having a rest before plunging in to your research work, once you start you will probably be rushed off your feet. I am passing your blogs on to daniel (jewsforjudiasm) as he is having trouble opening them. We both are wishing the best for you and are looking forward to you getting hoem so we can chat more consistantly with you.
I am glad you have a suntan although it will look out of place once you get back home.
Love you heaps *hugs, kisses)
Jeline
February 13th 2006 - Mams en de Fons: bounty beach
Hallo Loes,
Tjonge, wat een idioot idee dat we het afgelopen weekend in de vrieskou zaten en jij op zo'n prachtig bounty strand. Wat zijn de foto's prachtig!
De gebedshuisjes kan ik me nog goed herinneren van onze reis naar Thailand. Soms zie je een winkel waar die dingen verkocht worden en de bonte kleuren van meer dan 100 van die huisjes zijn overweldigend. Ik weet nog dat de Fons en ik bedachten om er eentje mee te nemen voor in onze tuin, maar het leek ons toch een heel gehannes in het vliegtuig. Uiteindelijk hebben we er nu een beetje spijt van dat we het niet gedaan hebben. Wanneer we er fruit en eten in zouden leggen, zou het ook een prima vogelhuis zijn geweest!
Gelijk met jouw bericht, kreeg ik een mailtje van Simon en hij vertelde dat hij en Oie je in Maart zouden bezoeken. Wat gaaf en wat ben ik jaloers!!
Natuurlijk gun ik je het zonnebaden van harte, maar ik hoop ook dat je gauw aan het werk kunt.
Dag lieverd, veel succes maar weer en tot de volgende keer. Kus en knuffels van ons dietjes
