Holiday In Cambodia

A summary video of last years holiday in Cambodia. Soundtrack of course by probably the most famous song about Cambodia- Dead Kennedys ironic and iconic “Holiday In Cambodia”. Might have to hit up Tourism Cambodia for this one…

Preahsang

Kampong Cham, Cambodia Oct 2015: This elderly monk was quite a character at Wat Phnom Pros, located just outside the small city of Kampong Cham.

The Cathedral

Christchurch, NZ, April 2015: This was my first visit to Christchurch since the February 22nd 2011 earthquake that devastated New Zealand’s third largest city. It was a surreal experience, the centre around Cathedral Square was mostly unrecognizable, apart from the iconic Christchurch Cathedral.
