bye bye nhcc

left the orphanage thismorning, bit sad last night saying bye to the kids, i dont think they really understood that i was leaving though so they didnt care haha :) dont worry mum, i dont have any kids in my backpack, its too full of all the dresses you got me to get made :D in phnom penh today, so of course me and anya have spent the day gorging on food, you cant blame us all we have eaten all week is rice. plus i didnt eat for two days cos i was sick (yes literally didnt eat anything, i know thats hard to believe, who knew i could lose my appetite???) made up for it today though yum yum. also went to S-21, or tuol sleng, the place where the khmer rouge held and tortured prisoners before they were killed and buried in mass graves in the late 70's. it was really eerie, they took pictures of most of the prisoners when they arrived at tuol sleng, which are all on display at the prison (now a museum) and there are men women and children. only 7 people survived s-21, so you know that all the people in the pictures were brutally killed, and not long ago. felt really drained after that, then felt like a pansy cos i was just looking at the museum, they were prisoners in it. going to see the killing fields when we get back from siem reap, will probably be the same, but its somthing youve gotta see while your here, cos so many people you interact with lived through it.
independance day today, so massive parade through the streets, john and kathy dropped us off in the middle of phnom penh then we tried to get a tuk tuk to the place we were staying, could only get within a few blocks then had to walk cos all the roads were closed.. anya wasnt happy :) i told her to MAN UP YA PUSSY. hahahahaha. siem reap 2moro, decided to splurge the $11 (sooo expensive pfffft ha) to get the fast bus with cold towel and cake..mmm cake :D. everything has gone so quick, cant believe im home in 17 sleeps (yes abbey, only 17 sleeps so you can quit telling me to come home) gonna be a good summer but. as long as anya doesnt rock up
