Let me start to blog with saying this, I can't believe its December and tomorrow I leave to go to Cambodia. I never would have thought that I would travel to Cambodia. I feel so lucky to have this chance. Its funny traveling over here. Its not always as simple as getting on a plane and finding a hotel. First, you have double check the visa requirements. Some places have interesting ...

... windows of reflecting glass. The sound and film show tells of the mildly dramatic actions of these days but has the charm and the sound quality of the early Sixties. Dust covered dimly lit dioramas with puppets in fading colours let us have part of former glorious happenings. What a prime example of post colonialist nation building gestures. <br><br>Surabaya's big Chinatown lies rather deserted but the Mesjid Ampel Mosque and the surrounding Arab quarters ...

I bid my farewell and thank them for their hospitality. When I got back to my room, I discovered that my clothes were reek of sulfur.

... 30) "I'll take two." Pay, rush out, catch a cab to our room, a five minute pack job, cab to the harbour...........wait a minute, this ticket says ten, not eleven. Hmmm, what is that horrible feeling in my gut, anyway? Well, it is only 10:10, maybe they've waited for us (Yeah, sure). So we got out of the cab, ran in.........and waited until the boat left at about 11:20. The mystery remains unsolved. Now we are just on our way back to the first ...
