Cambodia - a taste

Not for the faint hearted. This is the blood still on the ceiling from the murder of victims at Toul Sleng over 20 years ago. The Genocide Museum shows grusome pictures of torture victims lying dead - left by the Khmer Rouge when the Vietnamese took control. Sobering. It brings it home the pain and suffering this older generation has been through.

A boat trip took us along the Mekong River. Here the sun sets over Phnom Penh. A marked contrast to the brutality illustrated above.

Someone's backyard. A little different to what we know. The guy who lived at this house had kidney stones and was in agony. So we popped on the back of a moto and tried to find a hospital who would take him. He felt like he was dying but its amazing what a bit of healthcare can do when a bit of money is available - Thanks to TASK.

On a two day visit to a small rural village for clinics this is where we stayed. A traditional thatched house on stilts. Beautiful place, just imagine the countless chickens, flittering butterflies, brightly coloured frogs, chirping birds and mooing water buffalo from next door.

TASK workers on the left (Vorthea) and the right (volunteer) visiting an AIDs patient. She and her little boy lived on this little table in the middle of a big shed. It has been constructed for a new market yet to take form.

This health centre is a part of the floating village just west of Siem Reap (Angkor Watt). For three days they gave me a translator and let me be a doctor! With four other doctors we saw over 300 patients each day with no charge to them. We were limited in what we could do but we were able to pray for them and share the gosbel.

A little girl at the AIDs Clinic. I couldn't get over her cute big wide eyes. Just one of many sick kids who are being looked after by TASK.

Talk about a full on trip, but as always my God comes through and somehow it works out!

Hong Kong Adventures

Just a taste from the amazing holiday we had in Hong Kong... Thanks Kristy you are fantastic!

Carmi and Dan in Macau - why not add another stamp to the passport? A little Portugese Country just a ferry ride from HK. We spent a couple of hours looking for a restaurant to find one 50m from where we were initially dropped off by the taxi.

Oops - smaller than the others! At the walled city park. Kristy, Dan and Carmi. Amazing landscaping and even a statue in tribute to Jacki Pullinger.

New Years Eve shopping in the markets for some cheap 80's rock outfits. Dan, Pierre, Becs and David relaxing.

Dressed ready for the church's NewYrs Party - great times. The looks we got on the train made it all the more fun... Then there was our lip sync.

Walking the streets of Hong Kong after finishing our own version of the Amazing Race. The competition dissipated when we met up outside some famous Hong Kong bars.

The common setting for a meal around the Tongs table. Seven of us visited Kristy's family including Carmi who is taking the picture.

The city from Tsim Sha Tsui - Kowloon side. Amazing views and the light show was cool too.
