It just hit me last night that I will be here all on my own for the next month.
One of the staff was trying to tell me in his very broken English, as he served me breakfast, that normally Cambodian girls aren't allowed to go out on their own because the parents are worried that á man will do harm to them..
Yes, I said that is normally the case. I told him that I was just crazy. Maybe I am going it alone. But I'm ok with it..hehe
Went for run this morning by the riverside. Do you know what? There is the Angkor Half Marathon event on the day that I leave on Dec 5. That would have been fantastic. Real shame that I will miss out on it.
So afterwards I went to post some postcards, then to John McDermott Photo Gallery. His photos are absolutely stunning that he takes of the temples here in Cambodia:

Some of the work that photographers do here are astonishing. Not only that, but what they give back to the communities here too.
After that, went to Angkor National Museum today. Was a very grand museum, probably the most number of Buddhas I have been surrounded by in my whole life. It was amazing.
Was going to the manufacturing workshop, but that museum took it out of me so will leave it for another day.
Nice holiday today. Miss talking to my friends. Managed to speak to Joey tonight on video Skype here at the internet cafe. Came here instead of downstairs at the guest house. Connection and quality of computers there isn't the best. It's only 50 cents an hour here so very worth it. Was nice to talk with a friend! I think will be calling back home more often now that I am here on my own.
Going to prepare some English lessons now for tomorrow!
Hoping it all goes well and that it will be fun
