My work's life

In July 26, 2010 i got a new job a i work for KAPE( Kampuchean Action for Primary Education). I just finished my examination and i came here to work as an intern. I help Tom to translate from English to Khmer. He is an american man. He is old, tall, hansome and he also a kind man. In the office, it had around eight people.First, i met some problem with the stranlation. Some word in Khmer it had no in English so it hard for me to tell about the English word or sentences. I have to look at the sentences and khmer posters which describe about Khmer lesson and vocabulary. I and him had to go to Phnom Penh to ask the information from some places that run a business, he make a questionare t ask the shop owner. More than these, we have to quote the paper's price from the printing house and we had to look at the website of the posters that we have to follow them, we look at the size of the poster, the price, color, and we have to clear for all the information related to the posters and the price. Sometimes, when we came back from Phnom Penh we have to make a phone call to ask the information from the printing house, printing shop in order to make sure that they have a real price.
