It just occured to me..

I'm not really describing a typical day in my life right now.

But then my second thought would be, every day has been completly different the moment I touched down in Bangkok.

So today, to give you a taster if you like, I got up at 6am (there usually early starts, anything from 6-8am) packed my shit together and headed to Phnom Pehn airport to catch a flight to Siem Reap. As soon as we touched down we headed straight to the hotel and caught some rays by the pool for a couple of hours before heading out on our coach to the floating villages. All I can describe of it was the smell...a complete craphole. But so amazing to see how people live yet so sad to watch the children being brought up in such a messed up society. The moment they are born there first words are öne dollar"and thats pretty much all they can say to us. Tiny children as young as three or four held pythons around their neck, half naked and covered in dirt begging for money for taking pictures of them with the snakes.

Makes a change from the man with half a face being blown off by a cluster bomb begging for money I suppose.

Suffice to say this trip has been a real eye opener, and its brought me well out of my comfort zone. We left happy go lucky Laos for the deadly heartbreaking Cambodia, all I can vouch for is the good food and the one dollar margheritas as a saving grace. The rest of it is just too sad to tell.

So we get back to the hotel, shower and all head out to dinner as a big group and just discuss our day or learn more aussie/canadian/british lingo and either shop in the markets or head back to the hotel for a drink. Suffice to say todays been pretty "plain"compared to some of the other stuff i've been getting up to! Tomorrow were heading out at 5am to watch the sunrise over ankgor wat, then heading to the cambodian orphanage to drop see the oliver twists of cambodia. I don't know how much more poverty and depressing stories I can take....X factor sad stories haven't got shit on these guys! If you think your life is pretty awful, trust me...IT'S NOT.
