Wireless World

One of the reasons that Mary Jane is here in Cambodia is to facilitate the use of wireless phones in disease prevention.

So, it seems fitting to make this first post to our blog from a wireless phone, sitting on a balcony overlooking Street 95, our home base in Phnom Penh.

A lot is happening on Street 95: new houses are being built, cars are being repaired, tuk tuk

drivers are plying their trade. A constant among these activities is the mobile phone. When we want our tuk tuk driver to pick us up, we send him a text message. When we want our landlord to talk to the construction workers about starting at 6 am, we send him a text message. And if we had a car that needed reparing, we'd send a text to the body shop.

And because it's a wireless world, we'll be able to post every couple of days. Look for posts through the end of July.
