Either side of the black and white.Either side of S21 and Killing Fields we did this. We walked across the road from S21 to go to Buddhi Tree Restaurant for some lunch, as I did 4 years ago with the rest of the guys doing Tabitha.  Boom it was closed, and not just closed but being bulldozedRead More

And they’re under starter’s orders. House No.1 of target of 6 in 1.5 days is behind us. Team Kennett with 3 new members and virgins to boot too are ready. Well apart from Dougy with his hat/scarf/glasses combo – not really sure what look you’re going for there matey – sort of a Khmer Justin Bieber/Eric Morecambe thingRead More

Switching back to black and white and slightly faded. It really is how you feel, so it is how I will show it. I don’t know if you’ll remember my initial Cambodian blog when I 1st came here – I’ll assume not so shall start from the beginning. You arrive in high spirits, maybe having had aRead More

Amazing what difference a day makes – that is if you are reading this after the S21 blog. Amazing as today is all about excitement, expectation, the unknown, meeting new people, chatting, socialising, exploring all those lovely things you do when you hit a new country or experience for the first time – then BOOM dayRead More

I never thought I would go back after my first trip 4 years ago now.  But I did. I went with my mate Mario, and to be honest in a strange way I am so glad I did. It had the same, if not more impact this time – to explain that I mean because trip numberRead More

Blood is never blue. Blood is always red.But sometimes it is a different shade of red depending on the oxygen levels present, but always red. Often it is shown in diagrams as being blue to symbolize the un-oxygenated blood which is really a dark red almost purple in colour. Veins take on the appearance of being blue becauseRead More

Well before we get to “The Great Escape” – tunnelling from where we live, digging a tunnel in a u-turn to get back in. Ha Ha! I’ll cover a few other little snippets of fun. For those that know, you know what I am talking about – for those that don’t sorry – I’ll explain privatelyRead More
