Hi everyone...
I hadn't checked my message board from ages, but it was so nice to just read the whole collection that I have!!! ... made me feel the teeniest bit homesick!
Those banana/pineapple situations are indeed aweful!
So, what has happened since I last wrote... firstly I must inform you of the best quote I have heard up to now- "'Everywhere I go I can smell soy sauce!''''(Lea).
Teaching at the centre is still as much fun as ever, although I am now teaching both the older and younger classes as Megan (the other volunteer) has left :( Its blooming hardwork (I'm putting this bit in for all of you that keep making 'more like a holiday' comments.)
I have also had a rather radical haircut, ooer... its now about chin level and only cost me $2 for a cut and seriouse amount of straightening! Oh yes! It did need it though after I allowed my roomie to have a go... she is an aspiring hairdresser who needs a bit more practice!
This weekend we visited the royal palace which was a bit of a burn out and cost 13000r!!! The infamous silver pagoda was held togeather with tape and had obviously been walked on by some women wearing high heals- dissapointing! Also, they wouldn't let us in half the buildings- we kept getting nasty things shouted at us by the guards after we walked past the (very small) 'prohibited area' signs!
As a consolation we made another trip to the seeing hands massage parlour... heaven!
Today my centre was shut because it is national womens day so I went to Hollie (my roomie's) centre... very different to mine. I spent most of the day throwing small children around as well as ...no surprise here... armwrestling the boys. The children mysteriously started calling Andie Gurrero (or something similar) I asked the khemer translator what Gurrero meant... he did not know! Eventually we figured out that Andy Gurrero is a famous wrestler?!!! ... And people say that I'm masculin, pish!
Anyway, tomorrow is back to normal and then on saturday I am off to Bangkok for the week before heading over to the fullmoon party! Yay.

Have just seen photos of my new nieces- awwww, beautiful.
