So Cambodia again!

Got into Phnom Penh a very tired boy (picked up the nastiest snot virus in Saigon, tmi but hey)
Met a Cambodian friend who i first saw last time I was here in Cambodia and after talking for a while i found out she had not seen the temples at Angkor, so I've now been twice to Angkor Wat and to tell the truth i could go again, they are so amazing.
I have another few days left in Cambodia before heading off to Nthn Thailand for a week or two and the this part of my trip is over!? eek
Off to the UK for a cpl of games in the world cup and then head down and saving /working like crazy.
I will do another update in a few hours but its time to go have brekkie and hope the rain finally stops (im not sure why but really rainy weather at the beach just seems so pointless)
Great.... the pics i wanted to upload arnt. well that seals it.
See you all later

Well, i was having a look on YouTube and ...

the ride across

This is what im talking about!

Funny, funny things were happening at the Theme Park, from the Mickey Mouse like greeter to the rocks playing music, to the empty ammusement arcade. I did feel a bit like i was the odd one out for most of the day.

The ride to the ride!

Getting to the fair

The computer im using has crashed 4 times as i have tried uploading images and video, so im getting a bit twitchy! lol
Im now doing only one thing at a time on it (so it doesnt have anymore tantys)
The next video is of the cable car ride to the island of Vin peal (advertising name only) it is the worlds longest cable car at over 4 kms and about 80 metres high.
It was quite a ride out and one i wouldnt be keen on in a storm!

Fun Fair in Vin Pearl Land

Hmm, out of order Hoi An, Nha Trang and Dalat

The following few posts will be out of order for the simple reason that im uploading images and video out of sequence!( Im bidding online in the final minutes of an auction for two tickets to the 1/4 finals in the world cup so im not totally focussed.
lol

Have been travelling down the coast of Vietnam from Hue to Hoi An to Nha Trand then inland to Dalat (where it is chilly as hell and rainy)

First stop was Hoi An (you here this town talked about all over Asia as the place to get clothes made for you.
So..... Matt went to town, i tried to be sensible but the costs were just crazy and the people are very cool to deal with, the city is tiny with little cobbled streets and yummy seafood restaurants all over the place YUMM
so what did i get?
  1. A Navy Blue suit (Italian cashmere wool)
  2. A charcoal gray pinstriped suit
  3. A casual jacket
  4. 5 business shirts
  5. 1 military shirt
  6. 1 pair brown suede shoes
  7. 1 pair black leather chelsea boots
  8. 1 pair black leather business shoes

It seems a lot when you add it up like that!

lol

No pics sorry, i packed up and shipped it all to the UK.
