    Day two could accurately be described as “Lacking Momentum”. Took me a long-ass time to transition from ‘bed’ to ‘outside’ states, and I just couldn’t quite get enough forward momentum to do much with the day. That’s OK, I think; It’s something I expected to happen at some point, and this is over a month…

    Nothing particularly significant happened today, more or less by design. I slept in, wandered around the area to see what I could find, had breakfast at a cafe with pictures of cats on the counter … The usual. There are so many weed shops & cafes here. I tried to look up what the Thai…

    Slept fairly well, unexpectedly, up until the 5am alarm. I’d done all the packing I possibly could last night, so the morning process & final pack didn’t take very long at all. Partially because I’m getting better at it, and partially because I don’t have that much stuff. I’d arranged, by which I mean I…

    I’m aware that the really image heavy posts aren’t loading properly; I’ll divide them up more, into maybe 15-20 images per post, to see if it helps, because I think it’s the number of images that’s causing WordPress some issues Another quiet day. I’m less & less sure that the coughing thing was entirely Aircon…

    Felt like I spent the night, those bits I remember waking up for, coughing my lungs out. The original plan for the day had been to rent a bike & go back out to Angkor, but that’s about 7km each way, plus whatever riding around would happen, and … That doesn’t seem like a sensible…

    Yesterday was an enormous day, so today was a small one. There was an older American accented white guy in monks robes standing near the bar at breakfast, who wished me a good day & I think gave one of the staff a blessing? It was an odd moment. I did laundry. I slept in…

    I’m dividing this day into chunks, because it’s mostly photographs. Also, seriously; I have never heard that movie mentioned so many times as on this bit of the tour. Though UN Guy mentioned that he’d never seen the movies, but enjoyed the games.

    I’m dividing this day into chunks, because it’s mostly photographs. I’d seen a cat in the hostel lobby ( there’s the bar area near the road, then the pool with one of those swim-up bars, and then the actual hostel reception area, a fair way back from the road ) a few times, but this…
