Jemma Johnson Hey! I reckon you're probably on the last leg of your travels by now - it has just whizzed by!!! It all sounds super exciting! The short shorts sound very 'cool'! I'm sure you look great, thousands wouldn't. Yeah, we did have an OFSTED. Happened about 4 or 5 weeks ago now. It went well. The idea of it was so much worse than the actuality of it...glad it's all over though! Hope you are both keeping well. Glad Rachel was in her element with the glacial mountaineering. Hope she put you in your place with a few facts. Still loving the anecdotes. Take care xxxx

re: Week 3: NepalLisa Hello Emma, I read your message and wanted to help you, because I have been in Siem Reap a lot of times. The Tara Angkor hotel is a beautiful hotel and is ideally and conveniently located, Tara Angkor Hotel is situated only 6 km from the Angkor Wat Temples, 15 min drive from the Siem Reap International Airport, a few minutes stroll to the Angkor National Museum and a short ride to the city town center with an array of Cambodian souvenirs, shopping and culture. They have a few promotions that you can make use of if you haven’t booked already: Last minute bookings, summer sales, early bird promotion or Angkor temptations. Of course there are a lot more, but have a look at their website. It is not that far to the Angkor temples that I would advise you to see for sure. I would say, grab yourself a 3 day pass and find yourself a decent tuk tuk driver to take you to the farther ruins and for a drive in some of the outlying villages. If you’re up for it consider renting a bike and checking out Angkor Wat on your own. There’s a lot to see and do so a lot depends on your time and budget. A few temples I would strongly suggest you check out besides Angkor Wat itself are Bayon Temple, Angkor Thom and of course Ta Prohm just to see the amazing tree. The Banteay Srei temple is farther out of Siem Reap but has a very different feel than a lot of the others. If you want to do something else as well, you can visit the day and night market. I can really recommend these attractions. If you need to know more, let me know.
re: Week 9: Culture VultureMacca Haha just caught up with your last 2 posts, sounds like your having an amazing experience. Don't come back to the real world it's not worth it!!
re: Week 17/18: 'John and Jude are in the house'Emma I am going to Cambodia on September this year. Besides Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam are also listed to be visited. But still I have a question about a hotel you might have seen during your visit in Siem Reap. I booked the following hotel: Tara Angkor Hotel. You know if it is a good hotel? I heard good stories about it. What are the best attractions to visit in Siem Reap and in the surrounding?

re: Week 12: "Don't be a frickin' chicken Rach"NICK yo bro, sounds like your having a great time. mum and fin didn't understand what was so funny in going to a ping pong show, so i have showed them on Google, since that experience mum keeps on rocking in the corner of her bedroom and fin is getting psychological counselling ;-). Any Hoo i had a look at your picture and please please please get rid of that vest you look like pat sharp in i'm a celebrity get me our of here !!!!!! going boarding soon in Turin. me and boore are looking forward to shredding up some powder. rikki would have come with us but then realized the only sports he enjoys are of the sit down variety, such as watching telly, driving his car and spending his morning at work, relaxing his bowel doing a child's suduko. sooooooo keep it reel, don't be whack and stay classy pony boy. just to add on to macca's comment, i recently witnessed lewis chambers down a pint of Damian's piss. it was a proud moment for the chambers boys and they are both awaiting medals of bravery from the queen.
re: Week 10/11: Goodbye AsiaRachel Hey Jim, Sounds like your having a wicked time, its going so quick cant believe you've finished Aisa already. News from the ' g' stones Chris had a run in with a big deer so we are now carless whoops. Don't really do facebook so decided to reply to your question with this. S New Zealand, we had a quick chat and came up with a list of must do's so here it is. Millford sounds ,Nelson beach walk, Bay of islands boat trip, Franz Yosef glacier, Rotorua and Tongario national park (with mount doom climb). Not sure about the spelling. Also somecool wine tours in Marlbourough and def worth doing a sky dive ( lake Taupo) and /or bungie (queenstown). Hope that helps, have fun x
