Hey guys!
Just thought I’d let you know I finally got off my ass and did my blog for Cambodia, actually that’s a lie. I’m at work and they’re paying me to doss about so I thought I’d do it and get paid to do it!
Go to http://cyalater.co.uk/2007/06/04/cambodia-phnom-penh/ for the blog if you fancy a read. I was in Cambodia nearly 3 months ago so I’m very far behind. Still, better late than never eh?
It’s starting to get cold down here in Sydney, but it’s still warm enough to go to the beach. I was on Bondi beach yesterday with some friends getting tossed about by some massive waves. So much fun! I think when the weather gets warmer I’ll learn how to surf (properly!) so that my time on the beaches is not a complete, self indulgent waste of time. Ha!
Missing you all loads

Hey guys, just thought I’d give you an update on what’s going on!
I’m still in Sydney, Oz! It’s great here - definitely a city you could stay
in permanently. I’m sitting in my office in the Department of Premier and
Cabinet which is my new casual job! A friend of mine in Sydney who I met
along the way sorted it out for me. All I have to do is listen to the radio
for news and minister interviews - that’s the bulk of my job! Very
exciting!
Anyway, I’m going to update my website in the next few days. So keep
checking! There’s a lot to put on and some new photos. I’ve stopped doing
touristy things for now and will do so for the next couple of months whilst
I work to afford the next part of my journey around Australia.
The hostel I’m staying at is pretty cool , we have arranged nights where they take us out
with a bar tab and free drinks. The night life’s really good and I’ve had a
few drunken nights..
Anyway speak soon
