Sing Jow from Vietnam! We arrived afely in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and have somehow survived without being killed on the roads. You'll probably think I'm exaggerating when I say this city has got the scariest, craziest, insanest (Yes it is a word) drivers IN THE WORLD but I'm really not. Phnom Penh was nothing compared to this place! There seem to be more mopeds than people, they drive on whatever side of the road they fancy, they don't stop at red lights and ...

Hi all, Having been informed that my last few blogs have been "geeky"(What do you people want from me I'm a teacher!! haha just kidding) I promise to keep this one as low brow as possible. Sihanoukeville is Cambodia's answer to Ko Phangnan, cool beach, loads of bars and cheap beer.

Hi all, As expected the last couple of days here in Phnom Pehn have been pretty eye opening and heart wrenching.

I'll try not to bore you with too much of a history lesson (I say TRY) but both of us came away feeling a little shaken and pretty sick. Basically, the Khmer Rouge came to power wanting to create a completely classless s...

Hi all, Siem Reap rocks, FACT. Although I'm not a serious temple fan the few we visited were pretty spectacular and well worth sweating and straining through the heat for. We arrived in Siem Reap and were picked up by quite possibly the lovliest tuk tuk driver in the world (Though his friends warned us he was a ladykiller!!). He spoke great English, wasn't pervy and didn't drive like a lunatic. Result! He spent the next few days being our personal chauffer aroun...
