Tuk Tuk Driver Great blog indeed. I would love to support Mr Lee if you have his contact details at all. I'm coming over October this year and will use him if so.
Thanks. Trish
Unfortunately not.. Thank you for your kind comment. Unfortunately, we don't have any details. After having such an experience, at the end of the visit, we paid him and he smiled and left. C'est la vie seemed to be the motto! Enjoy your visit to Cambodia, you are in for a treat!
Interesting to read Good you seem enjoyed the time in Japan.

Yeah it's somehow got to be "normal" for us Japanese, but yeah,
it's actually wiard culture, innit? ;)
OK - you've sold me. Hi guys - I'm off for a week on holiday from the 1st March. I was thinking of Samoa, but after revisiting this blog entry I am off to Vanuatu instead! 6 glorious days, can't wait... I'll make sure I take reef shoes and a decent snorkel. Hope you are both well and enjoying the snow in Sheff. Big Love, nik x
so 1. well done for taking a photo of yourselves whilst in motion on a moped - good pic, and 2. "20m free0dive" ie with no breathing equipment? thats amazing loz! G x
Too late! Unfortunatly, Christian has already told us it is a horse shoe crab - he gets to be our wildlife guide, I am afraid.. ;-) Ahah too late, too late! But thanks for reading our blog.

Crazy motos is right - we were totally unprepared for Kmer traffic! Didn't know you could fit 5 monks on a motorbike! Hurrah for Melbourne - got any photos to substantiate our claims of a cool city?! Or of our stay with you?
Melbourne, cont. Damn those thieves that got your memory card in Sydney! They just seemed to bookend a pretty ordinary time for you in Oz. I'm really glad you made it to Melbourne though, and that you were able to scratch the surface of some of the stuff going on here. You're right, Melbourne has this fantastic lanway culture that has grown over the last 10 years or so, and I'm only just discovering it myself... great street art, music and so many bars and drinking dens behind hidden doors. Glad as well that you had a chance to experience Melbourne cafe culture. I love that about this city, and often wish it were similar in London rather than the glut of chain Starbuks and Neros and Rebublics with their shite beverages and homogenised design.
Have a great time in Cambodia and watch out for the crazy mototcyclists everywhere...

perceptive! Ian- indeed! Quite so. With parents like yours we shoulnt be surprised by your precociously perceptive comments on our trip. We'll talk some more when we meet !
bula you! Bula you!
Hey - thanks for following us! I know, you know how we are so into our coffee :-) and sampling local fare is an obsession! It's always disappointing to be in coffee producing places where local people don't drink or sell their product, preferring commercial Nescaf :-( They think we are a bit odd drinking so much caffeine in such hot climes. On the various occasions when no-one could go near the food in Fiji, we just ate our emergency cereal bars! But it shows the diversity of the resorts and the ways they deal with tourists - some share their local knowledge and interesting food and others just slap down the most basic inedible cheapest and easiest stuff despite the fact the tourists are paying, relatively, big bucks. Because the tourists only stay a couple of days and generally never come back - not a great symbiosis in Fiji altogether. You don't get what you pay for, you just sometimes get lucky; we have confirmed this during our travels!
I thought I was gone get away with me mentionning how much I like this bird but, oh no! you saw it in the photo! Hope all good in Stokey despite the winter weather. Lozz xx
