Say Wat?



Hi everyone at home! Feel like I need to give you a smile after my last blog a few weeks ago.

I ended up doing more than one day volunteer work, and over the last few weeks I have done anything from helping out in an orphanage kitchen to sewing a palm tree thatch roof! Next time you build a hut, call me and I can be your roofer!

After not spending a penny for a few weeks as I was sleeping where I was working, I decided to spoil myself when I got to Siem Reip. I have spent the last few days in a “luxury” hotel – with clean floors and towels, everything a girl could ask for! I have been touring temples, having massages, lazing in the hotel infinity pool and stuffing my face with pizza. It is so nice to have a break from rice and noodles!

So you’ll never guess where I’m off to next…a Buddhist temple for a few days meditating! I came to Asia to try loads of new things, so when another traveller I have become friends with recommended this I jumped at the chance! I’m worried about the not speaking and stuff like that as I am enjoying the company of my current travelling buddies – an Israeli couple, a Dutch lady in her 60s and a heartbroken girl from Newcastle whose boyfriend dumped her to go diving last week. We’re all heading off on our Buddhist adventure together; will tell you all about it soon!

Till next time!
