BELTEI TOUR FOR TEAM LEADERS

Day 4: Thursday, January 26, 2012

MONDULKIRI HOTEL
In the early morning, when our BELTEI team leaders got up and went out the room to do exercise and took pictures, we found that the weather was cooler than Ratanakiri.

We took deep fresh air and walked around the hotel to see good scenery that we have never seen before.

My wife and I left the room with thick clothes because in Mondulkiri has thick moisture in the morning.











Accordance with the map of Mondulkiri is near Dalat Vietnam country. On the other hand, Mondulkiri is full of mountain and thick jungle. It also has precious stone, gold, and animals.

Furthermore, this province also has the ethnic minorities to live in there. Most of people from other provinces or from the other countries have visited them because they would like to know their custom.




                                                 

We took pictures in front of the receptionist because we wanted to show our children that we both have been in that hotel for two days in Chinese New Year 2012.

After taking picture there, my wife and I went out the hotel and asked one of my colleagues to take our picture with a beautiful view in the hotel garden.

About 30 minutes of taking picture and walking around the garden, We went to a restaurant that is also belong to the Mondulkiri hotel owner. It is at the south-east and far from the hotel around 300 meters long.

We were having breakfast there. Then we started the journey to Bosra Waterfall where is a famous place, and we also listen to Khmer song with the title of Bosra Waterfall, too.

At 9:45am
We arrived Bosra Waterfall. On the both side of the trail walking down to the Bosra Waterfall, we found that we felt comfortable with warm weather. A long the trail, we could see the people selling food, fruit, and handicrafts making by the resident or ethnic minorities for souvenir.












We were walking down on the trail to Bosra Waterfall. A handsome man standing in the middle with the blue T-shirt is Mr. Ros Paradise, a campus director of BELTEI 6, on the left side of Mr. Paradise is Mr. Phan Soriya, a campus director of BELTEI 7, and a man who were standing on the right side of me is Mr. Pich Nol, a chief of human resource office.




We wanted to be closer to the waterfall because we would like to use our own cameras to take a beautiful waterfall. Some of us rolled up their trousers from the water and walked straight to the target. They took pictures because they wanted to show their relatives or friends that they were there. My wife and I didn't go with them, but we just stood on the rock without water because my wife was afraid to slip on the rock.









Our H.E. LY Chheng, a Director-General of BELTEI Group, allowed us (each family) to take pictures with him and Lok Chum Teav because we would like to hang on the wall.

After taking pictures, our team leaders walked to a cottage to take a rest there. H.E. Director-General started to discuss how to manage BELTEI Tour and how to manage BELTEI students to tour especially the resorts that is safety for them.






At 11:29am
After we finished visiting the Bosra Waterfall, we visited Oplay. On the way to Oplay, the bus seemed hard to run up so that we should got out of the bus and walked on the dirt road that was in a whirling cloud of dust.

















When we arrived Oplay, we had lunch there. Here are Miss. Khan and my wife were sitting on the plastic mat where were had lunch together.

A white car that was in a pic is belong to a restaurant who brought lunch meal for us. He told us that his home is in Phnom Penh where is near BELTEI 3, but he runs his business in Mondulkiri as serving food for tourists only Saturday and Sunday, and he will be back home (Phnom Penh capital city) on Monday.

My H.E. said while we were having lunch about Oplay resort that isn't suitable for our BELTEI Tour to bring our students or our customers here because there isn't any resident home or the security police. If the robbers attempt to rob by using gun, BELTEI Tour will take responsibility this issue.



Then we continued to a strawberries farm. We were happy to see it because it is unbelievable that our country is able to grow strawberry. On the other hand, we have never seen it before, too. Our team leaders took pictures with H.E. Director-General in the strawberry farm before leaving.





My wife and I took this picture to show my children, and we also want them to know the farm of strawberry.

There isn't any strawberry farm in Sihanouk province. We have just known it is transported from Europe country, but our country is able to grow it, too. We were happy to see it.















At 1:37pm
The bus was moving to the coffee  farm. When we arrived there, we were watching the coffee grain which were drying in the sun.

Then we were moving to a cottage where is a place for the tourist to rest and drunk coffee made by the farm owner. 



My wife and I didn't take it because we were afraid of dizzy. Taking long trip a couple days, my H.E. Director-General took a nap.

At that time, I went out the cottage to snap photos where is opposite the cottage where were were sitting to have coffee.

In the farm isn't coffee but also many kind of fruit trees as like as custard apple tree, papaya, mango tree, etc.


We left the farm at 2:38pm to move to the hotel to take 1 hour rest.

My wife and I took bath after a full day visiting resorts in Mondulkiri province. We didn't want to take rest so that we left our room and went out to the garden to take some pictures, for today is the fourth day of our trip .Therefore, we would go to Phnom Penh tomorrow.

When we went out to the garden, we saw Mr. Kol Sovanna and his wife at there. I asked him to take photos to us. In the late afternoon, the view is beautiful and the fresh air and warm because the weather in Mondulkiri is good. 

For the people living there is simple, but for us who are living in Phnom Penh felt happy and release stress. We took deep breath to get the fresh air into our lung many times. 

While we were taking photos and chatting with Mr Kol Sovanna and his wife, some of our colleagues left the hotel with beautiful clothes walking straight to the garden to take pictures as like us. 



Those elephants were made by stone of the mountain. The people working for a restaurant said that they have been spent long time to sculpt them.

She is Mr. Kol Sovann's wife. She said it was a first time for her to travel with BELTEI team leaders as like as my wife. They both seemed being close friends because they normally have breakfast, lunch, and dinner together.


It is a trail to the Mondulkiri hotel where we were staying for two nights. In front of the hotel is a garden with beautiful flowers. Some of flowers I have never seen before. It looks like paper. They said it was brought from abroad. Sometimes, seeing flowers in the garden also makes us happy.




At 5:30pm
BELTEI team leaders continue to Romi restaurant where is full of handicrafts for selling, ethnic minorities traditional wine, clothes especially all the tourists who have visited there were able to listen to the ethnic minorities songs.

I took some pictures, but my iphone4 wasn't good to take picture at night time; hence, I just snapped a couple of photos.

BELTEI team leaders were visiting around the restaurant to see the decoration and plants that they grow. Moreover, we have also seen the ethnic minority model. Some of us took them, but my phone wasn't able to do it.

After visiting it, we had dinner together. Our team leaders, the campus directors, were having dinner with our H.E. LY Chheng, a Director-General of BELTEI Group. While we were having lunch, we discuss some issues to find a good strategy in order to strengthen our core works.

When we finished dinner, we were invited to watch and listen to the songs of Pnorng minority. They sang around 4 songs, then they were dancing. Our H.E. Ly Chheng offered $50 to a representative of Pnorng minority in order to support their custom and tradition.

After that we were invited to dance with them together. We followed the Phnorng dancing style, Khmer orchestra. First of all, our H.E. Ly Chheng started to dance, then some of us also attend that occasion including the tourists who came from Phnom Penh and the other province to take part in it, too.

I have admired him (my director-general) that his brand was still working although we were watching to the concert. He was thinking about the BELTEI Tour that will be achievement in the near future. He has also had the willing to bring the outstanding of BELTEI students to visit Mondulkiri. Hence, he has to learn more about the resorts (safe places) before bringing them there.
