| The fine levied on me for overstaying my visa Cambodia |
"Your
mission is over. You go!"
Those
were not the words anyone would want said to them after 20 years of
service, half an entire working professional career in Cambodia, but
those were the final words in impeccable English delivered by the
grim-faced Immigration Official, a senior uniformed and
well-decorated Police Chief, at Phnom Penh Airport on 23 February
2018. I had to pay my fine of US$220 to him for the privilege too. That is more than a week's of my UK state pension, the source of
income that enables me to continue to give voluntary support to
causes in Cambodia.
