And for my next trick...

Like Macarthur to the Phillipines, I have returned.

Which is a miracle in itself, when you think about it, considering some of the interesting traffic challenges I've faced in recent weeks:




I think I may have bored some of you with my holiday talk. This wasn't meant to be the case; I really wanted to document some of the places we visited and hopefully be entertaining and informing. I'm actually really proud of my piece on Tuol Sleng and the Killing Fields - and am wondering if it might be worthy of a bit of extra tooling with in order to make it suitable for print. If I can find a magazine that's interested, of course.

As always, I'm happy if people would like to leave feedback on how I write and the subjects I write about, to make suggestions about style or content. The Clumsy-verse is not fixed in time and space.

  2. Not so, Natalie. The accounts of your trip were quite interesting-and any work on the Killing Fields is valuable. The deeds of the Khmer Rouge need to be remembered.

    I think Southeast Asia is still connected with the wars, drugs, and the sex trade too much to be considered as a 'mainstream' tourist destination.

    You did well on your writeups!

    Personally, I was hoping you'd go to Bangkok so I could trundle out the obligatory Murray Head and 'Chess' reference:

    Well done to you and thanks for the posts!

  5. Thanks guys, that's really kind of you all.

    By the way, YankeeDog - we did actually finish our trip in Bangkok. I've got some good photos & video (of tigers! Tigers!) - but I've been really slack since I returned and haven't gone through them all yet!
