First weekend in a new country as a worker not a tourist, it's very different. Saturday I confirmed that I am a shop kind a girl rather than a market type. I need space when I am buying something. On Sunday Zoe invited us on a boat trip to celebrate her teacher's graduation - he is now going to study for a masters degree in India. We went up the Tonle Sap to the Mekong and just drifted along - this is a common way of celebrating anything in Cambodia.

In the afternoon I just walked around the area and found myself in a local monestry, with monks arriving on motorbikes and the most beautiful building with no tourists.

For those who are coming to visit me: traffic lights - red means stop if you want to or have to, green man means cross if you dare!!
