... can do. I'm expecting some very creative writing for the class. We also did a symmetry project with crayon and paint. We folded a paper in half and drew tree trunks on in crayon. Then folded the paper over and used a ruler to transfer the crayon to the other side of the paper (that part didn't work as well as I would have liked- cheap crayons??) Then they used paint to paint their trees in on the top part of the page. We folded them in half and ...

... out of the office buildings into the tiny, crowded streets to eat some noodles, buy a coffee, and do a bit of shopping or browsing. It’s an infinitely interesting place.

I absolutely love my neighborhood. Just around the corner, there’s an international grocery store, where I can find American cereal, Mexican burritos, wine, cheese, and whatever else we’re craving from the West. On my way home, the streets are ...

... some young Irish chaps, basically we ripped the p*ss out of each other for a while, then shook hands respectfully. The battle was a draw!! "Happiness is the most insidious prison of all"...
Day 4:
I woke early, dropped Ron a call and met him at 11:00 in the usual cafe on Khao San. We were both a little rough but determined to stick to the plan. We walked to the Grand Palace for a visit. Spectacular place. See photos.
I had planned the second destination using ...

... to write my travel journal. Had great Thai food - one of my favourites must be Miang Kum, fresh spinach leaves served with pieces of lime, ginger, shallot, dried shrimps, dried coconut and peanuts all topped with a yummy sauce...it's heaven.
Obviously I also did some sightseeing: The Grand Royal Palace and Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), Wat Pho (oldest and largest temple in Bangkok), Wat Arun, Vimanmek Mansion (largest golden Teak building), Jim ...

... 65 million. If India is going to develop into a prosperous nation, they need a one-child family for the next generation or two. Also, because I saw so many people on the streets and stuffed into vehicles, I half (well maybe less than half) expected to see seats on top of airplanes at the India airports. They have them on buses!

Regarding the amount of women here, there a lot of people just walking around and doing their ...

... out your name after you have paid your money to the cashier. This experience can be quite daunting for newcomers especially if you are at the back of the queue.

I'm staying at the Pavilion Hotel for US60 a night - a beautiful french colonial house - one of the best in Phnom Penh. But in future, I will stay at either the Bougainvillier Hotel or The Quay. I checked both hotel's suites last night and can highly recommend them. The ...

... the children departed was to play cards, listen to music (ipod's rock) and around 9pm we had Milo time (instant hot chocolate) with cookies then it was early to bed as everyone in the surrounding properties got up at the crack of dawn and started to make noise - the worst thing was the communal radio broadcast at 5.30 with the speaker just yards from our house.

On our first morning there we set the alarm clock for the crack of dawn to go to ...

... lesson to be learnt from this holdiay!

So, our first Ping-Pong show. And no, it wasnt table tennis. Well actually...

When we first arrived, about 10 of the dancers (this was like a strip club) came and threw themselves around me. Poor old Samuel sat there all alone. Ok, so they came to both of us, but once we turned them down, we sat back and watched the show.

As we don't know who will be reading this I couldn't possibly comment on what we ...
