Cambodia Trip Update 2

What was I doing in my previous update fretting and worrying so much!??! I sound so depressed.

ANYWAY. Tickets have been bought and most of the accommodation has been booked. Transport  from Phnom Penh to Battambang and Battambang to Siem Reap is still unconfirmed but we'll figure it out.

I'm not as worried about the protests but I'll keep an eye on the situation.

TWO MORE WEEKS! I'll probably update this space again when I'm back!

Yangshuo, China is calling

There are times when I feel a place calling out to me. It may be after watching a documentary or a movie, or I may come across the place in articles online or in photographs or even in books.Times when I see or read about a certain place and I'm like "I have to get my ass there one day.".

I have that feeling for Alaska (even though I had the amazing opportunity to visit her back in 2002 during a family trip) and many places in the US for that matter, the Appalachian Trail, Half Dome in Yosemite, for Iceland, Mount Bromo, Mount Kinabalu, Morocco, Xinjiang, to name a few.

Recently, Yangshuo, China has been calling out to me. Appearing on TV, in articles online, on the Instagram feed of this person I follow stealthily. It is one of those places I think I will enjoy.

These photos will tell you why.
