The day Kate & Wills went for a day out at Cambodia's version of the Butlins Redcoats performing on Blackpool Pier, looking over Roundhay Lake, next to Crossgreen Carboot Sale with a bit of a Chinese influence.... thats how strange today was!! The day was chilled out but we were anticipating our trip out this evening with Rattana. He had asked us yesterday if we wanted to go out but we did not understand where he wanted to take us (a bit of a language barri...

Even with hardly any sleep due to the noise on the main street and the cleaning going on at 4am we loved this hostel. No rats, no mosquitoes, hot showers, people, $5 each and great food! Today we had a few hours to kill before heading back to Samrong so we headed to the Russian market. With 11 months and 2 weeks to go, now is not the time to be buying gifts and things for our house. The main aim.... a new iphone 5 cable - unable to strike any deals we ended up ...

They were accompanied by cold cabbage and egg soup. It sounds awful but when hot it ...

Today is Chinese New Year, it was noodles for breakfast and then onto our class, covering the subject. The bell rang early for a 'SPECIAL' lunch, as we walked into the kitchen Matt's words were.... "I'm going to be sick!" The bowl on the table consisted of the week's vegetables, mixed with bits of meat plus the fat. Char tried her best to pick out some of the veg to make it look like we had attempted it. But she is not one to eat tiny bits of fat on bacon, never ...
