Kampot and Kep and everywhere in between, Cambodia: They say bad luck comes in threes and that Karma plays a huge part in dishing out good and not so good things. If bad luck does come in threes then today was definitely the end of my losing streak and Karma could suck a fat one. … More Day 35 in South East Asia – Karma, You’re a Beautiful Bitch
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia: Today was the day I finally went to Angkor Wat. It was the excursion I had been looking forward to most in Cambodia, and I was excited to feast my eyes upon the ancient structures that make up this Unesco world heritage site. Myself and my hostel buddies (Germany, Dutchie … More Day 30 in South East Asia – Angkor Wat
Siem Reap and Kampot, Cambodia: Before I write about my trip to Angkor Wat on day 30, I’m skipping forward, as I feel I need to share with you the struggles of the last few days, mainly because the taste is still bittersweet and the feelings evoked on days 31 and 32 are still raw; … More Days 31 and 32 in South East Asia – It’s Not Always Sunshine and Lollipops
Siem Reap, Cambodia: Last night I really let my hair down by drinking two wines and two beers! This morning, naturally, I felt hungover. No, actually, that’s a bit of a lie; I didn’t feel hungover, I felt a little groggy. There’s a difference (but not by much). Anyway, my new lightweight drinking status had … More And On The 29th Day, She Rested
Laos is a beautiful, underrated country, with so much more to explore than the tiny bits I touched on. There’s the islands in the South (including Don Det and Don Khon), the caves in the north, the central belt, the Mekong, the mountains…. Laos is a hot bed of green landscapes and luscious farming culture; … More Reflections on Laos
Vientiane, Laos: My last full day in Laos was spent getting some cultural internalisation. And what I really mean by that, is taking photos of a shit tonne of Buddahs, visiting a museum, and drinking Beer Lao with an old friend. The day started well – the sun was shining, I had a spring in … More Day 27 in South East Asia – Seeya Laos, You’ve Been A Lot More Than I Bargained For!
Vientiane, Laos: After meeting Frenchy this morning for coffee and a lengthy chat about love and possibilities, life and people, work and family, we parted ways, not knowing if we were going to cross paths again. She’d offered me a place to stay if I was ever in France, and made the gesture with absolute … More Day 26 in SE Asia – Vientiane, You’re So Underrated!
Vang Vieng, Laos: The rain is relentless. RELENTLESS. When I went to bed last night, in my comfy little bungalow, views of the mountains in the background, my mind peaceful and at ease, the rain was heavy. And it did not stop. Not once. I went to sleep with the sound of pounding rain drops … More Day 24 in South East Asia – Raining On My Parade
Luang Prabang, Laos: Two days ago, Chicago and I had parted with good money (125 USD to be precise – more than I’d paid for my flight to Laos) by booking ourselves onto an elephant experience day through the conservation company, Mandalao. Today was the day of reckoning – the day of all days; the … More Day 21 in South East Asia – It’s Elephant Day!
Luang Prabang, Laos: As with the lax attitudes of the Vietnamese people towards organisation, it became apparent that they probably operate in the same kind of way in Laos too. And sure enough, like clockwork, the complacent tuk-tuk driver we collared last night collected us from our respective hostels at 8am sharp and ferried us … More Day 20 in South East Asia – Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls … ?
