I arrrived Saturday afternoon into Bangkok, 3 days before starting the conference I came for so I had time to explore! The hostel I booked in to was really nice and I ate dinner there then crashed Saturday. On Sunday I got up and explored around Bangkok! It was a Buddhism holiday so a lot of things were restricted (like nobody could sell alcohol and all national monuments weren't allowing tourists for example!) and also everyone was wearing black. So because the...

Sarah, Jen and Liz came to visit me!! It was such a great week and Jen’s first trip overseas so she loved it!! Man I barely slept a wink the night before they arrived - I was so excited!! I got up early and caught the bus out to the airport to meet them. They landed at 630 but took over an hour to get through immigration which was stressful because I was anxiously waiting!

Yay my first visitors from Aus!! I finished up my last exam on the 16th and then on the 19th Gem and Mark got in to town!!

Several experiences that were very powerful and I'm not likely to forget anytime soon. I arrived into Phnom Penh airport on Saturday arvo and the first thing that shocked me was...

So exams in Malaysia were cray and thus, a blog. I did 5 classes and had 5 exams. Here like 90% of classes have exams. And none of this 20% or 30% crap either - 50% or 60%! Intense! At UM there is a dedicated exam building. It's huge! There's I think 4 exam halls and the ones I was in had maybe 400 ...
