So I leave Siem Reap tommorrow after having a nice relaxing few days away from the temples. We spent an excellent day with the Family of our lovely Tuk-tuk Driver Ly, drinking beer, eating and talking to the patriarch. It is unbelieveable how the people who have the least are so accomodating and welcoming. There were 10 people who lived in a small hut but everyone was really friendly and we even got adopted as honourary sons and given Cambodian names - mine being...

Ok so arrived in Cambodia a couple of days ago and this place is nuts. First of all I'll take you through the journey here. I got picked up from Koh Chang an hour late and almost missed the boat across to the other side. The trip through Thailand was ok but upon getting to the border in Cambodia after changing onto about 4 different buses things started to go a little crazy. The first people we saw were a load of glue sniffered then when we were finally ushered o...

So been on Koh Chang now for 9 days after expecting to come for about 4. The island really does that to you as it's so relaxed just about everyone ends up staying longer. The place I'm staying in, Nature Beach Resort (which isn't as the name suggests a nudist beach), is lovely and the people running it really friendly, although slightly too generous when it comes to mixing cocktails. I've had a great time riding on Elephants, Zooming around on Scooters (alb...

I think they chose it simply because it was filmed in Thailand basically some american guy escapes a prison camp with 5 others in 1867 in a hot air balloon, they end up on an island in the ocean which has giant insects, also ...

As expected the first night in Hanoi got a tad messy. It all started off pretty reasonably, a few games of pool and a couple of cheeky beers followed by some less cheeky ones and before we knew it myself, Matt and a cracking fellow called Dan who met along the way decided that it was high time to dance like maniacs with some local people. Arrived at the club and proceded to do just that. After an hour or so we thought it would be rude not to have a sambuca or two...
