I was so sad to log onto the news this morning to read the story about the tragic cambodian stampede in Phnom Penh. It doesn't really feel real as we were only there just over a week ago and the capital was such a vibrant pumping place. As a country cambodia has got such a terrible history and has been through a lot so it's really sad to read that such a disasterous event has happened. It would be bad enough if this happened somewhere like england, but cambodia is still such a poor country and doesn't have the medical resources that we have to cope with such an event. hopefully they will receive help off other countries if it's needed to get through this disaster.

  2. I heard about this on the news this morning - tragic. Have to admit, I was very relieved that you and Annabel were no longer there - selfish thought I know, when so many others have lost their loved ones.
    Take care of yourselves
