Kampot


Bliss is finding a $7 room in a perfect little town with a view like this. If I were to design a SIM town, it’d end up with like Kampot. Tiny, quiet, fresh breezes and great food. What really makes this experience satisfying is the all consuming task of making hundreds of FLASH files on my laptop. Why spend 13 hours a day working at home when I could be doing it in a small town in Cambodia? Some people say FLASH is dead which is not comforting after spending so much time on these files, but we’ll find a way. The idea is to get digital learning materials into rural classrooms. It’s not as simple as simply connecting to the Internet. We need content tailor made for Laos.
