Ratanakiri sightseeing

Here are some more pics of our time sight seeing in Ratanakiri. We were based at Banlung (capital of Ratanakiri province) for the training at ICC - so the photos include those of Banlung township and some of the local tourist sites - Kachanh and Katieng waterfalls, and beautiful Yeak Loam lake (natural crater lake).

Here are some thoughts from Rathana (pictured below) from his time in Ratankiri:

"As a person who loves to the landscape and the nature, I had travelled some place in Cambodia. On 17 of July, I and my team work had travelled to Ratanakiri Province. It the first time for me to spend 10 hour in the car, I’m so tire but when we arrived Ratanakiri , seeing the beautiful forest and take the pure air make me fell so refresh ,wow , It the wonderful place, at that time I start to think about God and what he has greaten. I have very good experience there, I had tested the wild, see the beautiful great lake, waterfall, walk in the forest, see ethnic group, test a good coconut shake, sleep long time in the hotel, for the training, it very good for me, I had learn a new things from the training such as: I can improve my interpret skill, know more about my personality type, know effect communication and I have good relationship with people there. I really love Ratanakiri very much, if I have time I will go there again. Everything is in God love."

Here is some thoughts from Virak (pictured below) from his experiences and time in Ratanakiri:

"Well, what I expect for my trip is so difference. I thought that every thing there will be not so modern or quite old. I don't expect to see many tree and the green there also. The last thing is I thought that the road to reach there maybe really hard to go.

After travel about 10 hours, we can arrived there, every things are difference from my expectation. Every where full of Green, a lot of tree, and the road also not so hard. It's really great chance for me to go there. I really enjoy my time there, even if we have changed the atmosphere of daily life in Phnom Penh. It's a bit quiet there. No more Ethnic Group with black skin and their traditional clothes, because I saw some women from Ethnic are more whiter than me. Well, I have learn many new things there. We enjoy our work group together as a team. We all know each other more and more than before. I don't know that the people there they had a little bit high education, they know English well. Some they are better than me also.

Hmm, I really appreciate that chance to go to visit Ratanakiri. In the Future if I have another chance to go there, It's really great."
