Yesterday we finally rendezvoused with 1001 Fontaines in Battambang! We were picked up early from our hotel in a tuk-tuk motorbike taxi and dropped off outside their offices where we’ll be working and staying for the next 10 weeks.
Chay Lo, the co-founder of 1001 Fontaines was absolutely lovely and showed us the market (so many photos to come) and helped us buy bikes to travel around Battambang this summer. Then in the afternoon we discussed the sort of things we’ll be doing and started testing out the kits we brought.
Went to the night market in the evening – it’s no Bangkok but a bit more laid-back and very tasty. Particularly the coconut milkshakes, a Battambang speciality so hopefully plenty more to come. Afterwards we went for some drinks with some French volunteers also at 1001 Fontaines (let’s call it Teuk Saat from now on as that’s the Cambodian name).
Today it rained. A lot. A hell of a lot.
