Telling it as it is
Appreciating your blogs on Cambodia a lot, telling it as it is. We're setting off from Bangkok for Cambodia ourselves next week, so you've given me a good feel on what to expect.

oh dear
not very pleasant for you or anyone near you !

Were the bites of the mosquito or LA Woman variety???? ;-)

amazing!!
I loved reading your account, because it could just as well be an exact account of my arrival in Delhi!!! I had no driver at the airport however, so the first day I arrived I didn't manage to find Hotel namaskar, which I had specifically chosen in my Lonely planet guide.... I got "hussled" by a cab driver at the airport who refused to take me to namaskar, telling some crap about needing additionnal visas and taking me to a tourist office. They even pretended to let me call Namaskar (but of course they dialed for me, claiming the lines crossed often and that it was a complcated task. Obviously the person whom I spoke to was NOT at Hotel namaskar, but rather some accomplice someplac else, and he told me they were completely booked for weeks... I was just so tired and not very combative, it was may and the temperature was 45 celsius, I was at my wits end... They wanted me to book a bus tour out of Delhi at once. Infuriated, I (and my girlfriend, who was with me) just stormed out and searched for a place to stay on foot. We ended up being in a moderately expensive hotel that we didn't want, and found namaskar the next day on our own. Lesson learned though, so we were a little bit wiser from then on. And India is still a blast, amazing place. We stayed 4 months and went all over. Just thought I'd share.. Your pics and account just really took me back (i was there in 2000) so thanks!!

really enjoyed

Loved your blog !
Hi am Lesley from in England and I got into work this morning clicked travelblog because I have not long since got back from travelling myself and your blog was on the first page. I read about your time in Luang Prabang and it really made me smile and reminded me of my trip I have just done the Mekong river cruise and spent time in Luang Prabang and Vientiane. I enjoyed reading about your observations and you have some fantastic photos. I really needed that this morning so thank you. The memories fade so quickly when you get back, infact it feels like you have never been away after a couple of days. So thank once again for helping to keep my memories alive and enjoy every minute of your trip. Lesley

Excellent englishman....
