Suba dei from laos!!! I know that I have been entirely rubbish at updating this blog, so I'm sure most people will have stopped checking it. Never mind....hi mum!!! Sooo since I last wrote anything I have been travelling through Vietnam and Laos, both of which I have completely fallen in love with. The only downside to Vietnam is that the food wasn't that impressive. They use a lot of seafood (i tried squid and crab and everything!) and a lot of the food we had...

Sua s'dei from Cambodia!! Have spent so long trying to get this internet to upload offexploring that i don't have that long to actually write the blog, as i need to be ready for dinner in about 40 mins. Am currently at the beach which is amazing, especially compared to all the cities etc that we've been staying at thus far in the trip.

Me and Erandi decided that as we had a few days to kill we would visit one of the private hospitals to see the difference between this...

Writing this from Peradiniya hospital. We have just finished for the day (4pm - not bad) on our 3rd day of the placement. I'm doing obs&gynae to begin with and have done so many PVs i've lost count (and i still don't have a clue what I'm feeling). Also this morning - definately the highlight of the placement so far - I got to help deliver a baby, which was quite cool, although admittedly I don't know how much help I was, but I pulled the head out etc. Comin...
