trapped

i have quite an interesting little story on the blog today but -

yeah, my dad and I like to do a bit of light "home-remodeling"

what a guy.

so there I was, on the table, standing over my computer trying 

to drink a glass of wine, held by my dad, which is stuck through the window.

no. i have no words

the dad fished around the kitchen for a straw and then i sipped the wine through the window, whilst standing on the table, with my face smashed against the ceiling, straddling my computer.

Cambodia - Angkor

A few snaps from our recent backpacking trip - taken in Cambodia, Siem Reap - at the Angkor Temple complex.


Sitting in Angkor Wat - the most impressive/iconic temple of the Angkor complex.

That's me - being zen, at Angkor Wat, waiting for sunset.

Children playing after school near the edge of the Tonle Sap.

An old woman in the temples, handing out red blessing wrist ties (Kabbalah) - to ward off misfortune.

The day we biked out to the temples.

"Traveling with Che" I mean... I thought it was funny.

of course i did.

What if Wednesday

What if we still lived in the time of VHS?

Awesome witty comic site - incidental comics. You should click that link. 

Your deadline can wait.

Crap-holes of Asia.

After backpacking around Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos for 5 weeks - I feel I have become an unequivocal expert on Asian lavatory-systems. I would like to impart some of my accumulated knowledge with you to better prepare you if you ever decide to have an extended period of bumming around Asia. (see what i did there?) I have identified five varieties of Asian Ablutions. Pay attention:

That was a joke.

I was making sure you are paying attention.

This stuff is serious.

look at your shaky legs. and you haven't even assumed the position yet. lol.

(I recommend pre-Asian-holiday quad-squat marathons in your nearest gymnasium. You'll be grateful.)

DO NOT SIT DOWN.

YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR EXERCISES!!

really.

No pre-purchased toilet paper in your hand-bag? 

THE VERY FIRST VITAL RULE of backpacking Asia.

yeah, bet you wish you had done those quad-squats now.

too late buddy.

don't drink the water.

i'm not kidding.

You may want to practise a few emergency landings too.

A clothes peg will help. But not much. 

Practise natural mouth-breathing techniques.

Rogue twigs. 

GAAH.

Not even 8 year olds can get away with this.

Girl-aiming is tricksy, but you really need to try.

you don't want other people watching.

There is a fine line between avoiding 'the others' and becoming 'that person'.

just kidding,

water is good for you.
