simonwills.bsky.social @simonwills.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Last day in Phnom Penh and time to say goodbye to my colleagues at the Ministry of Interior. Killing a few hours wandering around the Royal Palace and the riverfront. You can see where the sediment heavy waters of the Tonlé Sap in the foreground meet the clear Mekong water. 000 0

simonwills.bsky.social @simonwills.bsky.social · 21/03/2026A rather depressing day in Phnom Penh. Toul Sleng museum. About 20000 are estimated to have been imprisoned here by the Khmer Rouge. Only 12 known survivors. The cherry tree is at the Killing Fields where prisoners from Toul Sleng were taken to be killed. 000 0

simonwills.bsky.social @simonwills.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Driving from Kiel to Rotterdam today in an #EV. Maybe it’s just me, but the effort in planning to make sure I don’t run out of charge is a monumental pain in the ass. Same in reverse in my diesel truck - so much easier. Until infrastructure and range improve long distance EV trips are much harder. 010 0
