Beautiful Battambang

I pay for someone to take me to the school where I teach life skills sessions for half an hour starting from 9:30. At 10 am I teach an hour of English to kids aged 7-10 who are very sweet and never stop smiling.

After lunch I teach English for an hour and run a sports club after school. Some of the personal highlights have been introducing new ways of learning to the kids and seeing it succeed. The other day, a kid drew me a poster with my name on it to show how much he appreciates me being here.

Battambang is an excellent destination for any tourist or volunteer. It has everything and I fell in love with the place within a couple of days. There's a great range of stuff to do with cooking classes, cheap markets and 'here be dragons' if you want a western night life. The volunteer house with the project is fantastic and the cook makes amazing meals!

The only difficulty I encountered was cycling in the heat as transport can be more expensive than anticipated.
