......and I am rather freezing.  Who left the door open while I was away?!

So, what did I miss?

[05omegav6]

Not much

In no particular order...

Danny Nightingale had his conviction overturned.
We're on the brink of becoming a totalitarian state.
Obviously the country is broke, so they've turned the gas off to save money, hence it's cold.
Twitter seems to think it has replaced the justice system.

Otherwise not much

Where have you been, and was it nice

[Gaffers]

Cambodia and Thailand, it was fantastic

Nice lounging on the beach, or some proper exploring?

Mostly exploring but some shopping and chilling by the beach too.

• 6 days Bangkok - Shopping, temples, more shopping, cooking course, suit fitting x 3
• 6 days Chiang Mai - Jungle trek, whitewater rafting, elephant treking, cooking course,
• 4 days Siem Reap - Angkor Wat
• 2 days Phnom Penh - Some military tourism (Killing fields, S21, etc)
• 5 days Phuket - Beach, surfing, diving, chilling
• 2 days bangkok - Festival of Loy Krathong, shopping, final suit fitting

I also took the opportunity to get myself a fully tailored suit and shirts which I will need as I am out of a job in August.

That's not a fun day out, but certainly thought provoking! It was terrible what the Khmer Rouge did to their own people... 

Sounds like a great trip Guffer!!

In the hill villages north of Chiang Mai:

Hiking back down:



Stopping at waterfalls:



Angkor Wat at Sunrise:



How about this for getting around:



The floating village at Tonle Sap rates very highly amoung the best experiences of my life:





The Royal Palace in Phnom Penh:



The plung pool on the private balcony was a necessity in this heat:



Diving:







Bit of falling off a board and making a tit of myself surfing:



Sunset in Phuket:



Also I love photographing flowers.  Here are a few:

Nice pictures - one of these days I'll visit Cambodia; a good friend of mine from work is from there originally and I'd love to see Angkor Wat. Need to lose 200lb first, though, or the heat & humidity would probably be the death of me (so Rithy tells me, anyway).

I think street food is possibly the best tasting food in the world.. certainly was in Taipei 

[cem_devecioglu]
