Last Day in Siem Reap
I just got back to Singapore last night. Yesterday after breakfast I went for a massage. I have some problems with my neck and shoulder so I thought it’d be nice to get a head, neck and shoulder massage before returning home. To cut a long story short the massage was so bad that I [...]
Siem Reap Day 4
I had a breakfast of omelette with mushrooms today with coffee, then went to town for a Khmer food cooking class at a restaurant called Le Tigre de Papier. It costs US$12 for a 3 hour programme which includes a short tour of the fresh produce section of the Old Market, 2 hours of cooking [...]

It’s just me, still unemployed [...]
