Waiting at the Hong Kong Internationl Airport

A spacious area and nice shopping mall at the airport

Having crossed the Pacific Ocean and travelled almost 13,000 km and  spending fourteen hours on board of a Cathy Airline plane, we landed at the Hong Kong International Airport at around 4:10a.m. local time.

We are here waiting to connect our flight to Cambodia and will be waiting here for a few hours.

Because it was so early ( barely passed 4a.m., only a few shops were open, so we waited.

Nobody likes waiting around and wasting time. However, we do not mind waiting a little bit at the Hong Kong Airport at all.

It is a very modern place with lots of places to eat and shops where one can easily spend a few hours looking around.

For my team members, we are busy checking our emails, going over teaching materials for our training programs in Cambodia for the next couple of weeks.

My traveler's voltage converter working really well for me!

As for myself, thanks to my husband who looks after me all the time, I am using the little converter he bought me a the airport so that I could power up my computer and do my blogger.

I am glad I have that little electronic devise so that I will be able to get power whenever I travel and continue blogging.

We waited for our connecting flight to Phnom Penh, Cambodia for about three hours, enough time for me to send out my first blog for the Cambodia trip.

The Dragon Air flight took off at around 8:45a.m.from the Hong Kong Airport.

Once we were on the flight to Cambodia, we were given four forms to fill in regarding our health, declaration of goods bringing into the Kingdom of Cambodia etc. Lots of paper work to do!

It took a little a little more than 2 hours and we were served breakfast on board.

We got to Phnom Penh at around 10am. The weather  was a sunny and hot at 30  degrees.

I was in Phnom Penh two years ago and am pretty excited at meeting the school staff and the church people there.

I haven’t seen  Carol’s son. He must have grown a lot since I last saw him.

Our van wove through the traffic of Phnom Penh

I will be leading the first meeting and need to get ready.

In a little more than two hours, we landed in the Phnom Penh International Airport.




We did not have to get our visa to enter Cambodia prior to our arrival as we could get it at the airport.

Public transportation in Phnom Penh

After about half an hour waiting at the customs, we got our Cambodia visa on the spot after filling out the application, providing the officer with a passport picture and paying a visa fee of U.S. $30-50 depending on the type of visa one is getting.


We were picked up by two vans sent by the Grave Church and on our way to start our stay in Phnom Penh, Cambodia!







 We drove through the main street of the city and got a brief glimpse of the progress since I was here two years ago.


Looking forward to the next few weeks in Cambodia!
