Whale watching

By -

Whale watching in Orca Islands: Bought the groupon. Saved a ton of money. Went upstairs into the icebox of the boat. Had some fun. Doesnt matter where you sit on the boat. You'll be out and about soon enough. Whales often surface twice? So if they've come up - keep looking. (Or its a mother training a calf and hence one follows the other often). As you can see - I'm not in the mood for writing. These contact lenses just dont work with computer screens. Interesting - went onto Amazon to buy Gamma Ray Specs. I wonder I wonder. Ok - we'll be walking around Cap Hill now. Summer is here..

This talk resonated with me significantly. I viewed it as a confirmation that our identity is not that linear collection of facts - but a story of triumph or defeat. How I view myself is often colored by my attitude. The facts remain the same- the successes or failures or "events" stay - the interpretation changes.

Attack every stand that you take)....

Again this trip was made possible due to LCC deals from Singapore to Siem Reap. Itinerary: Singapore to Siem Reap by Jet* (3 days odd) Siem reap to Battambang by bus (overnighter -spend one day at BB. A bit dangerous - not really recommended for women. We did this as SIN-SiemReap: PhnomPenh-SIN was cheaper than SIN-SR return) Battambang to Phnom Penh by bus Phnom Penh to Singapore by Jet* (spend 1-2 days at PP) What do do: Siem Reap You can cover Angkor wat well in 3 days. 2 full days should just be enough for a whirlwind tour. Do note that it tends to be crowded at times and ideally you should choose a low crowd/good temperature season (if that exists). The history and monuments are truly amazing. The forest setting adds greatly to the charm. Ideally you should spend mornings exploring t
