Biking for Peace

Just a small message from Siem Reap. That's where I'm currently attending the conference "Youth together in Action for Memory Culture", which is the 4th peace conference organized by Youth for Peace. The next days I'll provide you with some more information on the contents (especially as I'm member of the report-team and therefore have to closely observe everything).
Today, after the opening ceremony everybody (about 200 younger and older people) took a bike to go "biking for peace" through Siem Reap.
While it's wonderful to see so many active, interested young (and also older) people, Siem Reap as a town is very touristic, which makes it annoying in certain ways; for example, I almost forgot how strenuous it was always to deny tuktuk drivers a ride, as in Battambang they're almost non-existant.
After the biking there was also an impressive art exhibition with art done by survivors of the Khmer Rouge era as well as some belonging to the younger generation.
