On Friday there was no-one in the office - there's a surprise!! Bunthorn and I went to our coffee place that is near the other end of town to do some work. The owner asked did we want some Khmer noodles - of course we said yes. I thought it was just something they did every day - but I learnt this morning that they had made it specially for the staff as it was election weekend. He felt that as we were such regular customers he wanted to share.

The picture if from the internet but ours looked like this but with a fish soup. It was just fabulous and I want it again but how I will get it I don't know!!

Elections have come and gone along with my first security alert. There has been no trouble here or in PP which is where they thought it may just have blown up. Bunthorn was a little annoyed that they went through an alert at all - he said - that this year there would be nothing, however next year with general elections it will be different. The opposition has made great in roads so I think next year could be interesting.

When I compare what has been happening in stable safe Britain with the so called unstable Cambodia, I can't help but feel that everything is back to front and asking myself, what is happening in this beautiful world of OURS.
