Sihanoukville Retreat / Monday
Monday was a travel day from various provinces of Cambodia to the Catholic Church’s retreat center in Sihanoukville. Click here for the main menu.
Sihanoukville Retreat
All the priests and bishops of Cambodia are having a retreat together this week, starting today. We are at the Catholic center in Sihanoukville on the southern coast. Getting here was quite an experience. It took 6+ hours to do 135 miles from Phnom Penh. It’s really late now so I’m not able to post the pictures from today’s trip but come back tomorrow.

Fr. Jim Noonan’s Memorial Service
We had a memorial service yesterday for Fr. Jim Noonan who died in New York early in May. He was here in Cambodia for eighteen years and is still well remembered by many. Click here for pictures from the service.

Nothing to Protect
This is a picture of a government school, set on one Phnom Penh’s busiest streets, at 7:40 AM on a Saturday morning. You can learn a lot about the culture from one photo. First, notice the huge billboard set up on the school grounds, right next to the building.There are no zoning regulations that are enforced–if there are zoning regulations. (My bet is that the school director (principal) is profiting from allowing the sign company to build there.) Second, notice the school windows are wide open–in the rainy season when it’s raining every day. There’s no great worry about security because there’s nothing in the room except a blackboard (not a whiteboard) and wooden benches and two ceiling fans.
