So the rumours were true. Last Monday we packed up the truck once again and headed to Siem Reap. We travelled with the technical team to a newly built station in Banteay Srei. We were there to observe the installation with the intention of writing up a report on how to install the water treatment equipment.
We spent 2 and a half days setting up the station, taking countless notes, measurements and photographs and asking hundreds of questions. It also became apparent that health and safety is not always a priority in Cambodia which is something we will also address in the report to hopefully improve the standard practices.
As the rest of the team headed back on Thursday we were given the chance to see the famous Angkor Temples. They are truly remarkable structures in beautiful surroundings. All the exhaustion of the last couple of days was forgotten as we climbed up and down temple after temple. We bought 3 day passes and but could have stayed for 3 weeks.
On Sunday afternoon we heading back on the bus to Battambang and I started to sort through the 700 pictures I took in the temples alone.
We have a lot of work to keep us busy for the next 6 and a half weeks but we have started with writing up this technical report and relearning AutoCAD for the drawings.
Here's just a few of the many photos taken in the past week,
So many problems!!
