If only everyone could make a series of choices that led them to Cambodia

Or to working in a beach bar here, or eating fun & delicious Pandaland biscuits or hanging out with people who just hand out their business cards willy nilly. Yes you. the point of the Yeses is not to say yes to everything, but to let them bring opportunity and change into your life. Like how one day you can be sitting in your flat in London wondering what is there for you and less than a month later you can be in Cambodia wearing a necklace from Malaysia that prompts everyone to call you Turtle Girl. Danny Wallace is one wise guy, even if he undertook a strange and long project to learn these lessons. But who knows if this is where I am meant to be, London may have become really exciting as it does in October. A month ago I was working 9-5, being productive, (and miserable) and now I'm just sitting on a beach not doing anything constructive. Except for working at C.U.B., as one does...

My first day was quiet as quite a storm has come up, we even had to disassemble our dance floor when a large section of the beach washed away. The customers there at the time couldn't leave since the dirt road uphill to the main road had become a strong river, so we all went swimming instead, which meant I was wet for the rest of the night and had a few huge gashes on my feet from getting thrown onto some rocks. But I met many more excellent people and got to know my new coworkers.

I have finished reading Yes Man and I strongly recommend it to all of you. It is not only funny and full of true adventure but inspiring and at parts very emotional. It changed my life. I got to a point where I knew it was time to start saying no (it helps when you are in the dirty kitchen of a club with two naked guys holding a knife) but I don't regret a thing, I've learned a lot and I'm going to continue welcoming opportunity and new experiences :)

Also, wherever I next find myself living I am going to need to buy a scooter or bike of some kind. I am ashamed to say i'd never been on any sort of motorized bike before, let alone a motorcycle. I need to look into this further
