Arrived

Well here I am in the Cambodge… a seemingly hot, sunny, motorbike filled place. Today I have mostly slept and unpacked and been to a shop that sells hagan das ice cream, alpen musli, mozzarella cheese, red label whiskey and US grown grapes… excellent. I resisted all of these things and instead bought a lollypop maker for 50cents, this is very exciting. A long power cut stalled the lollypop making somewhat but I reckon they will be freezing nicely in my freezer now.

I am seemingly living in some rooms in a hotel/guesthouse, in a quietish street in the middle of town… there are many different restaurants, temples and shops near by anyways. I’ve got a kitchen, lounge, bathroom and bedroom with aircon which is nice as the weather is warm… just like English summer except hotter… for now the novelty of the heat hasn’t worn off.

Tomorrow I go to work… kindly they are letting me sleep in. I start at 8am… however I understand that people tend to get up at 5am here so I have a feeling I may be woken earlier…


Btw there are lots of lovely orange robed monks… including one on the cmputer next to me.
