not for the faint hearted!!!


Scenes from a Russian Market

Lunch for the brave of heart being prepared !

The Brave heart himself


Flowers for the dead... Killing fields excursion, was an eye opener


Not for the faint hearted. This place of sunshine and dust, orange draped Buddhas and saffron robed monks. Pepsi Max and soy-something! These people serve incredible tasting ‘curry’. What they fail to tell you, however is that it is not chicken! No, they say nothing, smile , and watch as you eat with relish whatever it is they have placed in front of you. The flavour is awesome, the surroundings filthy, and the bones of the meal simply do not coincide with the anatomy of poultry. Whether it be duck, pigeon or chicken… aikona! When we jokingly say in Asia KFC stands for Kentucky Fried CAT… Well lets just say that if you want to be assured of getting chicken, then go to KFC. Oh yes.. we found one in Siem Reap!

A definite French influence to be found. Baguette available the soups and sauces are creamier. The views are stunning when at the temples, yet the dependency of the nation, heart breaking. A sort after, prize job, is that of Tuk Tuk driver. And all they do is get in your face... well thats what it feels like... Bus trips are inexpensive, even though they are paid in U$D... Rooms at guest houses are affordable when prepared to share bathrooms or tuk tuks or anything else...
