the killing fields Hi Guys,
nice to hear from you again.
we open the inaugural exhibition: Fresh Art Fresh Start this evening. John Earle is doing the honours. Also we launch the Dave Arkless Fund.
Your description and images of the killing fields brings into sharp focus the verbal pictures painted by Bruce Cockburn in his song Postcard from Cambodia:
Abe Lincoln once turned to somebody and said,
"Do you ever find yourself talking with the dead?"
There are three tiny deaths heads carved out of mammoth tusk
on the ledge in my bathroom
They grin at me in the morning when I'm taking a leak,
but they say very little.
Outside Phnom Penh there's a tower, glass paneled,
maybe ten meters high filled with skulls from the killing fields
Most of them lack the lower jaw so they don't exactly grin
but they whisper, as if from a great distance,
of pain, and of pain left far behind
Eighteen thousand empty eyeholes peering out at the four
directions

WOOO HOOO hi guys,
Sounds like you are having more great times. you guys are very good at keeping us informed, your blogs are very informative. you guys should be used to the 4wd camery, you used to do the same thing to your one. lucky thats gone now. so has monty arrived yet? the wizz fizz tour meets the nunny nunchucker tour. Lucky i have a big map because i have no idea where you are most of the time. hope you have a great time, Newcastle are into the finals but johns isnt captain fro fear of swearing at the ref again. in more news, Steve irwin died yesterday by a sting ray sting off the coast near cairns. honestly thought it would of been a snake that got him end......but no it was a sting ray. The environment lost another great ambassador.
anyway you guys look after yourself, hope you have fun with monty this week, always good to catch up with people you know.
see ya T+A
Re: Whos the ladyboy Sorry Chris - without wishing to offend you I have to say I find it hard to believe what you're saying... We only know a Prince Kristophe aka. Skipper # 2, aka. ladyboy, perhaps you have a case of mistaken identity??
dam birds in cages when we were traveling through thailand we saw the birds in cages, we sat an observed and "lucky" for the sellers the birds will come back after there released and back to square one we are. sounds like your habing a ball, your not missing the shitty weather here. take care guys
whaddup Manly are certainly not in a slump. In 3rd spot, 4 points clear of the Eels in 4th, but still 8 points behind the Storm on the top of the table. Can find the ladder here http://www.ozleague.com/statshq.asp. Johnsy deserved everything he got. Cokehead. Can't wait for the photo montage when you get home! rock on dudes
dead jealous I haven't written for a while, because every posting I read of yours has had me logging straight off in disgust and jealousy. Your life over there sounds so lovely. So cool. I look forward to every next bit of news. I'm still not over Pooey's new-rope-image though....
***NEWS***
CATH WON BEST FLORIST IN THE NORTH SHORE!!!!!
SHE'S SO GOD-DAMN HOT RIGHT NOW!!!
hey!!! hi Michelle,
Your adventures look awesome, and you're doing a great job of blogging your photos and tales - it's a fantastic escape for me whilst I am in the office, when I would rather be travelling..!!!
Are you thinking of heading into Myanmar? Heather mentioned you were thinking about it... drop me an email if you have any questions about the place, where to go, etc.

Who's the ladyboy? To all the readers of this blog: This is Chris, the current tourguide of Lady Michelle and Skipper#2 Ricko. The referal to my being a ladyboy is NOT true. There is only one true ladyboy in our group of 3. I won't mention any names but ask Ricko to show you his group shot from Chiang Mai and you'll know.... Captain Chris, MS Sink 'Em.
yeeee haaa Yes lucky there was plenty of ballast in the back ie. Michelle's and my packs. The knights were on a massive roll last time I checked kind of like me in the footy tipping...;)
Can't believe Johnsy's been sent for 2 weeks? That's BS.
Oh well perhaps we'll meet the bears in the finals. Are Manly still in a slump too? Thanks for the comments - catch ya R + M
yeeeee haaaa hi guys,
...looks great fun, exploring all over the place. Those boats look mighty dicey. im surprised you are not constantly bailing out water with chards at the helm. Sounds more like the ss richards mark 1. Does the rest of the boat to cling to the opposite end from riko to try and keep above the water? its a good thing you have extra snug life jackets. The rest of the trip sounds good, dont know about the small seats in asia but riko has had trouble squeezing into australian seats too.
The knights actually won a game without johns. Johns got 2 weeks for swearing at touchy if you dont already know. Wills is now beating you in footy tip comp too.....its almost like your not trying anymore. and for your crazy nutter geizer fanatics the score was 2-1 to liverpool. Crouch in 80th minute.
see ya T+A
Hello It's been so long since I posted a message so i just wanted to make sure you knew i was still here and loving the blogs. Only slightly jealous. Not of the 9 hour boat rides, but more of the amazing scenery. Keep the great pics coming. Have fun!
ropehead goes trekking ooooh. i lurve your ropehead nunnynunchuka. we miss you lots and lots. loved the updates on your trek. seems you have some cuties trekking with you too! noice. moved into my new house on the weekend. kids are in the usa hanging out at the adobe headquarters and scoring free software and career advice. lil' buggers! miss you n love yer guts xxx
Trek Blog Chopper concurs with swampy..... best blog yet.... Also Chop is amazed at slimness of Richards in the pics, but then thought to himself, his only firm memories are of Mark, or AfroRichards....so perhaps its just an optical illusion brought on by a haircut.
And as for Ropehead....too hot for words!!!!
I dreamt... I had a dream of you guys a few nights ago where Andrew had started a computer business in a small room with several guys with desks and 'puters along the wall. Dunno what that was about. veronica and I are very well, we are enjoying your blog, xxx Vic
After celebrating 6 years together and having travelled seperately in the past, Michelle and Andrew thought the best plan was to blow all of their money that they'd been saving to buy a house and travel the globe instead.... full info
