anyone could be watching

well the countdown has officially begun. i booked my flights to New Zealand yesterday, which im looking forward to, and i played my last game of expat football in which i scored the winner via a header which is a first for me! i dont think ive ever scored a header before, what a way to sign out! so i have about 17 days before i leave phnom penh and a furthur 19 before i arrive in england...just over a month! it seems strange to be saying im going home, ive been told that i will experience culture shock going back into the west which i found to be true at christmas. it feels like all ive ever known has been these past nine months and everything i did before them have been forgotten, i feel like im going to have to learn how to live in civilisation again and actually work for money...shock horror!

its been an interesting end to my time here with a few annoying things happening like getting my phone pinched. by the way if anyone has an old phone they wouldnt mind parting with when i get back in july im going to need one! i bought an old nokia from the market for $18 which is pretty cheap, even by khmer standards, none the less Sovath rubbed it in saying he only paid $16...git. and sothy has demanded that i buy a web cam so we can talk over the internet, im not altogether convinced by these web cam thingys, they are very popular here but im a bit wary...anyone could be watching.

so things are starting to slow down for me nd ive already had a feedback meeting with steve and midge, which was strange in itself. i couldnt sleep last thinking about being home and being with everyone again, there is nothing else i want more right now...except maybe two weeks in New Zealand!

thats all for now hommies, ill see y'all soon.

Was it my previously-owned phone that was pinched? If so, I feel a wave of nostalgia...

Enjoy your last few weeks! Hope they are awesome and give hugs (not awkward ones, please) to Kath and Andy and Steve and Heather.
