Things I'll miss

This helpful photo taken inside the "five-star" toilet in the Angkor Thom temple complex, Siem Reap, Cambodia.

You might think of fresh mangoes and tropical sun, but for some reason I started thinking about all the little things that are strange at first, and then quickly after taken for granted. How strange it will be to get back to a place where a shower isn't just a drain in the bathroom floor! Eating with a knife and fork instead of fork and spoon.

My first thought, though, will probably be, "where are all the chickens?"

Coffee and frangipani

Here photographed in Cambodia, and everywhere else I've been in South-East Asia.

I'm now in Laos where the flower is proudly emblazoned everywhere as a national symbol - and where the coffee is completely delicious.

Cambodian breakfast

Sadly blurry, but a delicious part of the buffet at our fancy hotel in Siem Reap.

Cold rice vermicelli, coconut curry, fresh cucumber, peanuts, banana flower, beansprouts and herbs.
