... s as a gift and headed out on the road towards the provinces. It took around an hour and a half to get there, in which the kids slept. Jojo woke up at one point and was talking to Kythera and his dummy flew from his mouth and was immediately crushed by a truck that was behind us.
When we got to Chin’s, we were introduced to his mother and father and his sister-in-law. We had a look around his house and the kids were taken particularly ...

The carvings were amazing, really impressive, with each wall telling it own story! we hung around there for about an hour or more checking it out! while in Angkor Wat these two Americans & their guide were down on there knees looking for something, which we found out later was a screw out of your ones glasses ...
