I think your post is so exagerating...driving thru landmines? then the people there must have mines planted under their houses? pls........Cambodia is great place and mines areeeee mostly along the border.
2 B rown Traites Alex,
was glad to see 1. sleeping off hangover and
2. despite your unusual hieght for a Brown, the genes have given you no more favour than the rest of us in the other direction(legs that is).
Looks smashing!
Its hot here too! Its hot in the UK too! but not quite 35 degrees!
Makes me sweat just looking at the pictures of the temples in the sun. After seeing all the temples around Angkor Wat, we didn't want to see another ever again!
Its lovely I think Cambodia is great, everyone should go there. The whole landmine stuff is sobering rather than scary - I'm not about to go wandering off into the paddys. Sadly its an issue for the locals and not for tourists. And the guns... everywhere has its gun problems. A New York city drug dealer has a longer life expectancy on death row than on the streets. Tis true. Having said that I did find the guidebook comment mildly amusing/scary! Enjoy Florida!
OK - All I'm saying is that this post was SCARY - and I don't mean scary in terms of bad grammar and misspellings. You're supposed to make us want to go to Cambodia!
Hello Alex Would that be James Beevors of Westcliff High School? Enjoying the Blog. Been out with Mum, Dad and Willow today - good walk and pub lunch Crown Laindon.
haha - your penang->koh tao journey was nothing - i was left for 3 hours at the malaysian border at 11.30pm. enjoy koh tao and have fun diving (eat a roast chicken dinner at the irish bar - it's AMAZING after months of asian food) take care hun and be good around those lovely ladymen!! xxx
Those cheeky thais.... Nice to see you are still enjoying yourself! Probably too late, but I did the enriched air course at Buddha View Dive school. It was really good!
We liked Koh Tao a lot, but then we did learn to dive there. Where are you on the island?
Im sure you found this elsewhere, but in thailand (+ Laos + Cambodia) any travel means a long stop somewhere, where you are encouraged to buy lunch/dinner/breakfast (no matter what the time - 4am 'dinner' stops are not uncommon!) at a certain cafe/shack with benches + cockroaches. They practically force you into having some food, and get shirty if you don't.
It gets really frustrating and we resorted to just buying something and taking it with us.
All good fun though!!
Lesson learnt there aye! Why hello there, young Mr B! Sounds like your having a Bloody good time......you barsted.....You dont seem to mention though, how it was you were so sure they were men! Not trying to be uncouth, just a concerned friend is all! =) Keep having fun! Keep that number rising!
See you soon, james!
Sinking feeling The diving sounds fantastic. I hope that you are not eating to much and that you don't remain on the bottom with all the extra weight.
p.s. remember to wiggle your toes
Bad Grammar and Spelling Hey mister man!!! I'm not knocking your bad grammar and spelling (even though it is at times erratic) I was merely commenting that I liked Nige's comments about your bad grammar, found them amusing. Be nice or I'll hold your Roger Waters ticket hostage!
Bar Beach I'm a Newie local - the beach is called Bar Beach - enjoyed your entry, glad you liked our city! Now there's even whales swimming along the beach.
screw em' drivers the transport drivers in that part of asia are well versed in the art of 'butchering' tourists...
the same thing happened to me while i was in bangkok, drove me to a dark alley, gathering his fellow-driver mates around, threatening me to pay him more than he deserved..while i refused profusely, and ran away to the main street and stood near a police car who is fortunately in sight..
but usually they don't dare to do anything more than a few swear words...
streetsmartness n a pair of good running legs is essential
have lots of fun mate!

I’m not sure what disgusts me more, how bad your day was or how bad your grammar has become. Are the colloquialisms of our Australian cousins rubbing off on you?
One Tree Glacier I didn't know there was a glacier up there! Can i sign up to be the first customer?! If it's anything like franz josef i want in!!!
A very jealous Frood
Im Alex. 22 and counting, just about to embark on 5 months of travelling before starting my first proper post graduation job. Im into my adventure sports - climbing, biking, skiing, diving, sailing, kayaking but this trip is probably going to be more about culture than sport... although I could be swayed! I love cooking (and eating!) and playing the guitar, seeing live music, and drinking alcohol.... full info
