Doings and dealings in Sihanoukville

Samuel is now on his third week here in Cambodia, while I joined him roughly a week ago. This will be a mixed post on things we’ve been through so far.

I’ve spent these first few days acclimatizing and trying to get used to the idea of living here – it’s a very different feeling from just traveling through like I did about two years ago. After the initial shock combined with food poisoning though, it feels good to be here.

For the time being, we live in the Small Green Guest House in downtown Sihanoukville, owned by Raymond, a very nice Swedish man who has already helped us with a lot of information and contacts. And beer!

To much amusement on my part, Raymond has also come up with a nick name for my business partner: Salza is no more, meet Professor Sammy! Very suitable, don’t you think?

We enjoy it very much and plan to remain here until we’ve found a suitable location for our permanent home.

Yesterday we went up at 6AM to go visit some close by waterfalls. We don’t like early mornings, but it was definitely worth it! Getting out of town and into nature proved very relaxing and inspiring. This is the kind of scenery were great ideas are born!

Believe it or not, apart from enjoying ourselves, we’ve also done research in several key areas such as:

  • The education system and feasibility of running schools
  • Laws and rules for conducting business
  • Aspects of owning, leasing and renting property
  • Employment and working with local suppliers
  • Availability of goods and materials
  • Contacts in the real estate market

We constantly learn new things by asking around, listening to stories and keeping our eyes and ears open. It’s clear we have great obstacles ahead of us, but the more we know about them the more focused and resolved we become – the time for going from word to action is approaching!
