photo's

this is a photo looking out from FCC over the river side. we had a picnic on the grass when it got dark. its really busy because of the naional festival this week everyone is out and about.



this is a photo of me and the boys on a tuk-tuk on my first week in PP. it was midge's birthday so we went out for the day.

went to FCC (foreigners correspondance club) a great bar full of westerners with BBC news channel on the tv. i think im going to go there and hang out abit. the view of the river is amazing and all the people are nice.

all your emails have been great. sorry i dont have much time to reply to all in full but they are much appreciated. there was a military coo ( i dont know how to spell that word) in thailand last week so the political situation has been tense. although most people in PP have seen it all before and just get on with their lives. no one seems to worry.

i will take time to add some more photosa of the city at some point soon. i really think you cant understand everything that is happening here untill you visit. it is an amazing place and i really feel at home. my language is getting better as i spend more time with khmers. im going to get a teacher soon but so far i know enough to get me by.

for shizzle me blizzel in de nizzle.
im teaching the boys a range of new vocabulary.

Ben.

p.s.
matt+luke i heard about the naked guitar photo on the powerpoint display....good one! i would say i regret it but i really dont...at least people will remember me! apparently don smith nearly fell off his chair... just think my nakedness could have killed don smith...if only. what a story that would be.
