So my time in Cambodia has come to an end and as I make my way to the airport in a tuk tuk I take in the sights and smells for one last time. Dogs running across the roads, groups of Khmer citizens gathering on the roadside trying to squeeze as many people, animals, objects, mopeds as they possibly can into the back of a mini bus. People exchanging items at the local market, a man arrives with a bunch of live chickens hanging upside down on the back of his moped,...

This past weekend has been absolute bliss. On Friday we all went out for a few drinks in town which was great fun and then Saturday, Chris (a fabulous gay that I have met at the volunteer house) and I went to a hotel for the night!

Today only 3 students turned up as the ...

Yesterday was a great day, I was able to teach at the old school. My morning class included 8 students who were of similar ability but there were two naughty boys which I really enjoyed! I felt that if I sat down with me and talked through work and then praised them when they got their work correct then they might behave better, and it worked (although one boy had to be moved)! I adore the look on their faces when they realise that there work is correct, they hav...
