Today I was travelling down from Siem Reap down to Cambodias capital Phnom Penh. It definitely made for interesting viewing that's for sure.. So here is what I witnessed on my 7 hour bus journey. First up, Tarmac hasn't made it from the western world yet. They are still rocking the mud tracks, not all that successfully. Especially not when there are floods as bad as they are here right now. The only way I can describe these floods would be if you think of the w...

WOW. Watching the sunrise over the Angkor Wat Temple was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen! There was such a buzz in the air from everyone waiting in anticipation for it! It was around 5:30 when it started to rise and so for about half an hour I sat on some other important building waiting and watching..

So now, Laura is in a lot...

Today was my last day in Chiang Mai so I wanted to make the most of it! Again I set off into this square, seeing as I was a bit of a pro at all this exploring now and went straight for the cultural and arts museum. I know, sounds mind blowing! However, it wasn't as bad as it sounds and it gave a really good background into the history of Chiang Mai and how it all began! I found the famous women's prison correctional facility that allows prisoners to give massage...
