Your Dreams Can Become Reality In Cambodia

- Joom Reab Soou ( Hello ) our friendly readers. I am very pleased that you have taken the time to learn some Khmer or Cambodian languages before you will come to visit our country. I think that it is very important for you who have intended to visit Cambodia - Angkor in the short future coming. Most of the our Khmer nation can not speak English in the whole country. I would like you to notice some sentences before you will arrive in Cambodia because I had experienced with my client at the end of 1992 AD during the United Nations sent his personnel ( 13,000 soldiers and over 7,000 civil servants and police officers ) to arrange an Election in Cambodia because of our country was just finished the war.
One day, I brought a UN officer to visit Angkor Areas on Saturday and Sunday by my Motorcycle but I could not speak English. I had have only a Angkor Map. If he wanted to visit any temple that needed it. He had always pointed his finger to the temple picture on the map. But, when he finished the trip in one temple, He traveled with me on the Motorcycle and he told me : Toilet ! Toilet ! Toilet ! Toilet !. I thought that Toilet ! Toilet ! Toilet is the name of the temple so I pressed the speed of the Motorcycle and drove it fast and fast,sudenly. He held my arm to stop the Motorcycle and then He ran into the forest. When he came back from the forest. He laughed all the times. He was not angry to me. When he finished the trips with me in 2 day visiting. He talked with me a lots but I did not understand his speaking. I took my 2 fingers up ( v ) and then he gave me $200 but my idea is only $20 for Two day trips. I was very happy to receive $200 from him. His $200 to make me to be a guide in Cambodia and can speak 3 foreign languages. As English , Thai and Spanish is under study. Khmer language is our mother tongue.
I would like to announce and find him if he can read my website . Please write me @ sowanna012@yahoo.com and I will bring your family - is free for Transport and Guide around Cambodia.
If someone have known him as his home town , country and Email, or got hearing from his speaking at the end of 1992 and write him and He has written me. I will offer you as follows :
Siem Reap - Angkor
1- 4 Star hotel room in one Deluxe twin room for 2 nights.
2 - Transport + English Speaking Guide for 3 day visiting. But food and other Entrance Fees will be paid by your own or you will travel with his family is free around Cambodia.
Short Event of Cambodian History
- In 1970 - 1975 : Civil War ( Pol Pot army and Lon Nol army ).
- In 1975 - 1979 : Pol Pot regime ( ruling ) did not permit Cambodian people to learn their own alphabet. No school
- In 1979 - 1991 : Vietnamese regime ( occupied ) did not permit Cambodian people to learn English. I think that maybe United States dropped a lot of bomb in Vietnam.
Sowanna is an owner / operator of Cambodianguide.com offered the food and bottle water to a Buddhist monk along the way to the holy Kulen mountain.
