Swimming in Cambodia

Swam in my first pool longer than 25m. Raffles hotel pool in siem reap Cambodia is 35m long and about 20m wide; and while it doesn't have "lanes" it is so huge I found I could do laps. The primary issue with no lane markings is that one needs to watch for the end of the pool wall to avoid hitting it. I had the pool to myself yesterday morning at 6:30; wanted

To swim this morning again but I seem to have caught a head cold.

Although I love the Raffles pool, I

found the length a bit intimidating swimming at first; just need to get used to it:) some day I hope to swim in a 50m pool. With fewer turns I found I could concentrate more time on my stroke although I did tend to worry about hitting the wall.

Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom

Impressive ancient temples just outside siem reap Cambodia.

Less frequent blogging

Regular readers of my blog will notice my posts are less frequent than they used to be. As my meditation practice grows I find I'm less inclined to blog or to take photos. 

I'm thinking seriously about settling down somewhere where I can focus on my practice, be of practical use to others, and reduce my expenses. Indonesia is the top candidate so far but with 5+ months and multiple countries remaining on this trip, I may change my mind multiple times:)
