Clan Todd and Raw have flown to Langkawi for the week. In the few days that they were here, my observations (all offensive):
1. Delphine has no idea what Raw and I look like.
2. Andrew is a hypochondriac hygiene freak.
3. Andrew would rather be hang around his brother and his brother's girlfriend than Raw and me - surely bad sign for us.
4. Todd is chunky.
It's good to be back in KL. I missed Naan bread, Gimme Shelter, AirCon & the ThinkPad.
My achievement today was making it into work entirely by public transport. This provided me with the time needed to sort out the better photos from my trip across Cambodia, so here goes.
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
Cao Dai Temple
Chu Chi Tunnels, where the Viet Cong lived for 10 years, whilst they fought the Evil Imperial Invaders.
Raw aka BossMan aka Rory aka Ruaraidh in the war room
I travelled from Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) to Phnom Phenh (Cambodia) by taking a boat up the Mekong River.
The Killing Fields just outside Phnom Phenh, where the Kampuchean Democrats (Khmer Rouge) executed a few thousand people, and buried them in mass graves.
In Cambodia, you can shoot guns. I could not resist.
Back to the city, Phnom Phenh. Pol Pot's men converted this school into a detention centre.
Meanwhile King Sihanouk was living it up
The streets of Cambodia's Capital
Here are a few of my favourite pictures from Angkor. Last year I went to India to see the world's most famous Muslim monument, and this year I visit the world's most famous Hindu monument in Cambodia.
Now, Bangkok. After leaving the pub, we found the local alternative to kebabs.
And end with a picture of 2 grown men beating the hell out of each other.
