Today’s Trip to Anlung Chen (Anlung Chinese)

Working under deadline constraint was not something I dreamed for and being a journalist student has made me as busy as a bee since. For a few weeks, I have stuggled against the deadline for my news writing teacher. And today was a good beautiful day as I had to go out to Anlung Chen island, famous for countryside scenaries and one special kind of (green-leaved and flowered) vegetable called Slek Kanchay. I spent my whole day there talking to different farmers who grow Slek Kanchay. They all enjoy planting and selling Slek Kanchay, which is a good source for big money.

Children are enjoying themselves. How great to be like them!

Look at how warmly the farmer welcomed us. It cheered my heart. :)

    Hi Bong Vutha,

    Anlung Chen Island is near Buffalo Island (Koh Krabey). You need to cross a river to Anlung Chen. At first, go past Takhmao and get on a ferry to the Island. Hurray!! :D

    Yes, Bong Bros Wanna, the meal was free of charge. Surprisingly enough, the family rushed off to cook those foods for us…they were very hospitable…I wish all of the city dwellers behaved like that.
