Day 1: Initiation

We made contact with Dr. Davin Uy, who is the director of Research and Development at the Institute of Technology Cambodia. He has been working on the Kanchan Arsenic Filter, especially in the rural regions where thousands rely primarily on ground water for their drinking water needs.

We will go to the Prey Veng Province tomorrow (Saturaday, July 4th) to check water quality.

We also decided to stay close to ITC for convenience. It is a bit (30 min on tuk-tuks) away from downtown but we both think the apartment is nice and quiet. On a whole afternoon's worth of searching, I have basically toured the city.

View on a motorbike, which is one of the most common way of transportation in Phnom Penh. Hotel owner had her cousin to drive me around to find an apartment!















First of many panoramas that are yet to come, a view on top of a building near BKK.
I am new to this and I need some technical guide.



After much debate and tuk-tuk and free rides offered by the Lam the best hotel owner, we found our place 1/4 the way between Dr. Davin Uy and city center. Happy 4th of July!
