Thought I’d tell you of our plans in the next couple of days.
We’re heading out on an Annabelle Bus (motorcycle) to Kirirom National Park a smidge south of Phnom Penh.
We’ll stay there overnight, after checking out some of the goodies down there, do a bit of hiking and come home.
After that, we’ll do [...]

Hello Dear Friends,
Well we visited S-21 today. For those who don’t know S-21 was Security Prison 21 and basically a torture camp for the Khmer Rouge in Phnom Penh in the 70’s. we have both avoided the place but we set off this morning- with a bargain US $1 tuk-tuk ride to the prison.
I can’t [...]

I’ve been a bit light-on on the annectodes recently as I’ve basically been feeling shit.
Day one, I was pretty tired, lathargic and didn’t wanna move much. This contunied to day two, where it got a little worse. I was able to do some stuff day three, but I developed, what I’m calling from now [...]

Hello Little light houses,
Hope all is well and so forth.
Now, I know that on occasion I can give Sam a bit of a hard time, however after the last two days I am forced to say this; the boy has nerves of steel.
Yesterday (was it really only yesterday?) we hired a motorbike and took to [...]

Hey Kids.
First off, if you see a sign stating “otorhinolaryngology” with a photo of a tape-worm looking thing burrowing into an ear, don’t stop. It doesn’t look fun.
We visited the Royal Palace, housing the Silver Pagoda. When I thought of a room tiled in 5000 silver tiles with a life-size Buddha statue made of [...]

Hello My dear fluffy bunnies.
Hope all is well in your various worlds.
I have been biding my time, storing up various experiences to bring you what I humbly hope is a simply superior post. Alternatively I have just been too lazy to write.
After our first week here I wish I could talk to Rose of two [...]

Hey.
Much has been happening but I really don’t have the energy right now to type it all out because I’ve been uploading photos and sorting them out on Flickr for the past 4 hours.
Do me a solid and visit http://flickr.com/rasea
I’ve signed up for a pro account so it’ll allow me more sets. The sets will [...]

After a 6 hour bus trip through the rural areas in the poorest country in the world, we’ve arrived in Phnom Penh.
We’re at a guesthouse called Narin 1 (Narin 2 is next door). Pretty cool family run place. Room smells a bit – mysterious – but it’s $5.00.
Edit: Mystery is over. It’s sewage. And the [...]

Phew. Been a minorly major week!
We’ve visited the temples; Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prom, Ta Keo.
Angkor Wat was just massive. Although it was spectacular, and impossible to really fathom, we just didn’t feel much of a connection to it. It didn’t feel holy. It felt like an extravagant waste of time and human life for [...]

It’s taken me 45 minutes to upload these few photos.
I have many more in my uploads folder, but you’ll have to wait as the battery on my laptop died.
Annabelle, NSFW means Not Safe For Work, not the lude thing you pulled out of Newbieville. I’ve never even heard of your version of NSFW.. Kind of [...]
