mavis姐说如果大家有机会到柬埔寨，请务必带这样重要的物品给她  

Sister Mavis said if anyone happened to go to Cambodia, please help her to bring this important thing.  

   

这是包饭用的纸，她说柬埔寨卖得超贵，如果大家想帮忙，请托将会去siemen sreap去的朋友交给mavis姐。  

 This packet of brown papers is usually used for take away orders. Mavis requested for them as they are very costly in Cambodia. So if there is anyone who wants to help, please pass them to those who are going to Siemen Seap.

这里是我第二天的行程，插个题外话。因为前一天住的饭店实在不理想，虽然一晚才15美金，不过我睡的床单是臭的，我叫人进来换，发现他走进走出还是找不到一条king size的床单，最后他把所有的床单拿出去，回来时开心的说终于找到一条适合的，可在他换床单时却闻到一股很浓的爽身粉的味道。他走后，我马上扑前去嗅他换过的床单，除了刺鼻的爽身粉以外，还是同一条臭床单！！

This is the second day of my journey. The night before, I stayed in a hotel that had provided me a terrible service. Though a night’s stay costs about $15 US dollar but the bed I slept on was horribly smelly. I then called for someone to change the bedsheet for me but despite searching high and low for it, he couldn’t find the correct size of the bedsheet for me. Finally, he came back with one happily and while he was changing the bedsheet, I could sense a layer of thick baby powder smell. After he left, I went forward to smell the bedsheet immediately! However, I realised it was exactly the same smelly bedsheet except for the baby powder smell!!

隔天二话不说，背了背包马上check out。我记得来的时候有看见一间还不错的饭店，时间还早，我沿路一家一家的找，后来真给我找到一家又干净又便宜的！打听之下原来老板是新加坡人。

The next day without any consideration, I packed my backpack and check out immediately. I remember chancing upon another hotel when I was on my way to the previous hotel (the one with smelly bedsheet). Since it is still early, I went to enquire from door to door and at last,  I found a clean, cheap hotel and I also heard that the owner is a Singaporean, 

   

   

 

今天Mavis姐的朋友Diana来帮忙，她非常厉害，我们坐机车去小村子派饭，只有她可以侧坐，就好像柬埔寨的姑娘一样。 

Sister Mavis’s friend, Diana came to volunteer as well today.  We took the vehicle to the villages to deliver meal. However, only Diana can sit on it, resembling the local girls in Cambodia.

她对什么都好奇，什么都提问，也有很多的热忱。她还透露说常常上网看偶像剧…….很可爱就是了！ 

She is curious about everything, asking many questions and is full of zeal. She also reveals that she always watches Taiwan idol dramas online. She’s so cute!

你以为她是那种满脑子空幻想的女生？错了，她非常有名，上过很多杂志报道。她在柬埔寨开了一间工厂，用回收的米袋，尼龙袋，纸盒等等制成包包，她还雇用了很多单亲妈妈，给予她们很多经济上的支援。 

If you think that she is a lady who lives in fantasy then you are absolutely wrong. She is quite popular and often seen in magazines. She opens a factory in Cambodia, making use of recycled rice stack bags,nylon bags, carton boxes to make them  into bags. She employs many single mothers thus supporting them financially.

还有一位单脚英雄，Bel，他有一次不小心踩中地雷失去了一只脚，可是他并没有因此失去信心。他用一支拐杖代替一只脚，走得却比以前更实在。他负责带领我们到穷困的小村庄派饭，用他健壮的双手喂饱一张又一张的小嘴。

 Bel is a single foot hero who lost his foot when he accidentally stepped into a lane mine. However, he didn’t lose his confidence depsite this incident. In fact, he uses a clutch to replace his foot and walks like a normal person. He is in charge of leading us to the poor villages to deliver rice packs and uses his strong hands to feed each mouth. 

 

有人的玩具是一台蝙蝠车，有人的却是天马行空，一个椰壳3块烂电池，几个破铁罐坐在泥地上就这样长大….. 

Different kids have different toys. Some of them have batman cars, while some have coconut shell with 3 spoilt batteries and the rest have few broken aluminium cans. That is how they grow up at muddy land!

   

 

右上角蓝色衣服的就是Diana，左上角和我一起的是可爱的嘟嘟车司机bun Thom，他希望我可以帮他，介绍将要到柬埔寨旅游的朋友给他。

The lady at the top right hand corner is Diana while the picture on the top left hand corner is the cute driver Bun Thom and I. He hopes that I can help him and introduce some of my friends who are going Cambodia to him. 

所以如果你将到siem reap，别犹豫，这是他的联络方式：thorn_bun@yahoo.com

For those of you who wish to go to Siem Reap, Please do not hesitate to contact him at thorn_bun@yahoo.com 

他非常诚恳，长得有点腼腆不过却非常的热心。 

He is very sincere, though a little shy but very warm and approachable. 

再来是Diana，这是她的blog：http://cambodiacalling.blogspot.com/ And this is Diana’s blog http://cambodiacalling.blogspot.com/

听mavis说她可是丢下5位数的高新跑去柬埔寨奉献自己的伟大女性。到底人劳苦一辈子是为啥？看来只有心里有爱才会让你洞悉一切。

I heard from Mavis that she has given up a five digit salary to come to Cambodia. Sometimes I wonder, why do human slog so hard for?  I think as long as you have a passion for something, you will be able to fully understand.

这是后来我离开siem reap到phnom penh的时候去参观工厂时拍的，制作环保包的过程，我买了几个，还蛮美的。 

These pictures are taken when I left siem reap to phnom penh and went on a visit to the recycled bag factories to see the manufacturing processes. I bought a few of them and they are quite beautiful.

 

这些是Diana店里拍的，墙上的美劳都是她亲手做的哦～ 

 These are taken from Diana’s shop. The beautiful fatigue on the walls are personally made by her wor ~ 

走之前答应mavis，要帮她募款买一台van，好让她以后可以去偏远的地方派饭时不会太辛苦，也更方便。 

Before I leave, I promised mavis that I will help her to raise some funds to buy a van so that it will be more convenient for her to deliver rice packs to further places.
