Cat's Lists - 3 monthly review (old habits...)
I haven't made a list for ages and it occurred to me that now would be a good time - it might help me to reflect a little as the first half of my time away draws to a close. I have four lists in mind (1) special moments - Monty's success in his exams/ Monty wearing sandals (hehe - thanks for the reminder Cathy)/ The fish dropping out of the sky at Monty's feet near the churches of Old Goa (from a birds beak but we didn't realise that straight away)/ Eating the insects with Monty and Poldi in Ao Nang/ Holding the hand of the local lady who helped me to cross the road on the way back from the Russian Market in Phnom Penh (experiencing traffic that drives 'the buddhist way' is quite a thrill)/ Asking John to speak with me for a half an hour when he walked into the Bondii Tree guest house (and then ending up on the bus with him the following morning to Siem Riep)/ My five hour conversation on that bus with the carpenter who didn't speak any English/ The glee on (14 year old street child entrepreneur in Siem Riep) Anna's face when Christian 'guessed' her name even though he hadn't yet met her/ 'Gambling' with the 2 young monks and Peter at the Banteay Srey Temple/ The Cambodian coconuts (flesh and all)/ Bayon (2) Things I would like to go back to see - Roulos Group of Temples/ Floating Village/ Battenambang/ Bamboo Train/ Sihanoukville/ Koh Lipe/ Koh Jum/ Rai Ley Beach/ More sunsets at Bayon. (3) Things to remember - Don't rush the sunrise; if you give it any time - give it extra an hour after you think its over/ Turn the sounds off on the camera. (4) Sad moments - Toul Sleng Genoside Museum Phnom Penh (photos of the victims) and Forensic Medicine Museum Bangkok (mummified convicted rapists on display)/ Bayon.
