Shanghai and Suzhou Wayne came to meet me at the ariport, good to see him again, and quite relieved that i wasnt left on my own to face China for the first time! This country is crazy...dont think the people plan on being rude, but they really are! push, shove, nudge and a general "get out of my way, im coming through" approach! Shanghai is a real interesting busy city, spent couple days walking around the french quarters and down the Bund on the rive...

so how did the royal welsh go??? want to hear all about it.... The massage was the worst thing that's ever happened to me...i advise you all, never ever go for a massage by a blind cambodian! it was torture! (bit wrong for me to call it 'torture' considering i had it done the day i visited the killing fields...but for me, honestly it was hell)...ouch ouch ouch! We left Phnom Penh for Siem Reap to visit the Angkor Temples. These are Unesco sites, considered to ...

The museum is a very enticing cultural site which has many different sections that include the processes of war and it's consequences, it als...

Today we visited MySon (another Unesco site) where the Hindu ruins remain (although most of them have been ruined following Vietnam war). It was so peaceful here, scenary was magical - somehow a little bit like Machu Picchu, but then again, although it was pretty, not half as ...

Crazy, crazy, crazy ... Had a lovely relaxing week in Luang Prabang (quite thankful for that now considering that Hanoi is the craziest place in the whole wide world....) We went elephant trekking (baby elephant decided to attack me!) and kayaking down the river (in LP), very beautiful and scenic - the green jungless of Laos is so pretty although heat was unbearable out in the open! Also went to a cooking school in Luang Prabang, now i'm an expert at Laos cuis...
