Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

Cambodia just across the river

which explains the abandoned loading pier and railway line: someone must've thought it a good idea to have a loading pier facilitating trade across or along the river and then distribute the goods via train to the surrounding area. Or vice versa. And when the French left, they took away its dreams of development with them - probably for the better.
