Anna has two geckos (tukkai in Khmer) that live in her house - Gordon and (I forget, maybe) Glenda. She pointed out to me the lovely little snuggle/sigh sound they make at the end of their calls. Hard to explain unless you've heard it. It actually made me laugh out loud one night in bed it's so darn adorable. Anyway, above is a pic of two of the moth/mosquito/fly munching guys in action at the restaurant next door where we went for dinner when Gordon, Andy and Ellen arrived. They're pretty big and, supposedly, if they bite you, you can't get them off you for at least an hour. But I love them.
The next day we hopped on some motos and went in search of waterfalls and lakes. Bliss.

One of the things Gordon and I have noticed is the English slogan t-shirts that so many people wear here. They are regularly inappropriate, borderline pornographic and almost always with spelling mistakes. Who makes them? Who for? And who is the proof-reader?! (another particular favourite of mine was a girl in a "Charnel" t-shirt, complete with diamante and interlinking C's. I only wish I'd had my camera)
This one was at the same football ground for the final of the four day event. At first we thought he was just a spectator and then we spotted him out on the field. Organising things.

| Yup. That's him in front of the banner. Directing the winners of all the sports down the middle of the pitch to the podium. |
And because no blog is complete without some kind of mention of food, here's some kind of weird milkshake type drink with black jelly bits in it to finish us off.
