'Lifestyle in Siem Reap'
Sept. 8th. I'm in another phase of 'untwisting' the right leg. This is expected but is always difficult to go through yet I want this stuff to be corrected. Now I have found out that the clothes here are actually a Cambodian brand or brands, and as said, they are very well made and good fabrics, even for the general range but definitely for the 'upscale' separate boutique. I have discovered that a Cambodian princess is quite a star and a model here, and she is Princess Jenna, so the 'Princess Jenna' skirt I bought was named after her. I'm not sure the skirt was a great buy, but it was one of the first things I bought before I had really got into my stride with buying this stuff. By the way Princess Jenna is 14 years old, so a good choice for me! I do plan to buy more but none of it costs very much. Probably when I get a dress from the 'upscale' place, that will cost more but it won't be all that much compared to Australian or US prices. As said, the clothes are well made enough that they could be from the Avenue Faubourg or Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. 7th. Gym day of course, but I didn't find out what happened, except that the equipment is being fixed but they only have one maintenance man at the moment. Also, the yoga classes are back on the timetable, but the website is not loading up. After that, I went to the clothes shop, and again looked at the 'upscale' shop inside the bigger shop. Some of the clothes or maybe all of them, are really well made, good quality, the kind of thing that might be well made out here, then sold in Paris in one of the clothes boutiques on the Rue St. Honore or something! I defiintely must buy something, but it has to be practical for the fabric and for everyday wearing. My 'everyday' is something more than tourist shop junk, or the type of thing most of the people who went to the PV accom. would wear! I dress to a standard, but it is still casual and comfortable. But the clothes here are very good value. Bit more difficult for getting a bag or shoes though. Then I did another Thai massage. 6th. Still no website up for my gym, Angkor Fitness, but it is all up and running as usual. There must have been something happened though, maybe a chunk of the fitness staff left. I will find out on Monday. What have I done recently? On Saturday I went to the Park Hyatt. I wore a more elegant outfit which is possibly a style I will have to shift to. I do like the baggy harem pants but they go well under a longer top or dress, with a kind of Muslim fashion look. I like Muslim fashion. I have some smaller type tops, although most are for the gym but can be worn with the harem and other pants I bought. I think next will be another calf length dress like the one I wore tonight. Actually I think it is my only dress, other than the black one i wore consistently in Puerto Vallarta which I must have bought in 2022. . So, I have one dress, and that is why I will probably buy another one. I had dinner at the Urban tonight. Its a nice place. They always go all out to be pleasant and do a good job. Can't find any pictures but its set in the Night Market area which is really a street with places selling stuff. 4th. I think something 'dramatic' happened at the gym. I can see that the class timetable has changed and there are less classes, with some of the names no longer there. Of course that means they have left, but there seems to be more to it than that. In the area where I use the equipment, some of the equipment is broken, some maybe the wires that go to the equipment, and one of the rowing machines has the thing you 'row' with broken. Its been pulled out, and that would be hard to break by accident or by using the machine. I saw this on Monday. When I went to the Reception area, the staff for that were all huddled to the side talking and slow to attend to the desk. They were like that on the way in too. This was my report from Thursday, but the weekly timetable would have be out on Monday, so probably some of this happened over the last weekend. It looks like there was an altercation of some kind. There is also 'error' coming up for accessing the gym website. 3rd. The Bachata classes have been cancelled. I think if he had taught this as 'Bachata for one' where you just learn the steps as individuals in a class, it would have worked better. There are many variations you can teach for those steps, and also he could have chosen better music. I would guess that most Cambodians, being so rigid, could not do the moves or understand the moves. he could have spent a lot of time, and fun, teaching that. Anyway, the classes are cancelled. I did all my gym programme, but overall I felt 'weak' today. I did also do a Khmer massage, just moderate with some stretches, but I again feel tired and 'fragile'. This is because where the spine is now out, is more on where the legs meet the body and the base of the spine, and that was all 'out'. My walking was okay, not the best but okay after a strange night of sleeping. It always means things are realigning, as they need to do. I wanted to buy a big basketball top in black but I couldn't find one. I bought a small tank top to wear with daywear clothes, just to buy something. Life in Siem Reap is still good, and is always good. Sometimes annoying, but overall it is always good. 2nd. I think I need a smaller size for these new harem pants, but I decided not to take them back and replace them. Maybe I'll just buy another pair that are smaller. For styling it just has to be a normal kind of fitted top, and if I can't get the corset effect, I think a small skirt over the harem pants would work. I don't see why I shouldn't have fun with what I'm wearing. It has not been possible to find the kind of slouchy crossover big bag in a dark brown colour, that I wanted and for some reason I can't find any big scarves which could also be tied round the top of the harem pants for the 'skirt' effect. It's a kind of Arabic look, or also Korean like my favourite group in 2025, with what Felix would often wear type of look. I am somewhat getting myself ready for the possibility of some difficulties happening in the world, because the agenda playing out is for control of the planet. It isn't just about Trump's ego. But there are possibilities for goods that are usually available in Cambodia to not be available because of what is happening. I am walking okay, but I don't feel I want the Khmer massage right now, but should wait a bit. With the last one, which was quite moderate but did include some leg and body twists, I was disorientated and losing my balance afterwards. This is because something shifted to a different position and my body has to adjust. It's only happened once before, and I was walking into tables! The body will literally make adjustments and corrections duirng the time when one is asleep. Often it is quite painful as things move, and almost always it wakes me up and I have to move very carefully because of whatever it's doing. I don't mind, because every part of this is progressively getting better. As I can walk better, I don't mind wearing clothes that are more fun and stylish, such as with a not quite crop top over the harem pants. I am just going to keep on buying clothes as much as I like. Hanoi (Vietnam) was not good for buying clothes and I had to get stuff that would be 'okay' because I did not really buy much when I was in Puerto Vallarta. Thursday will be a gym day again. I really miss it if I don't do that on a day I 'should' do it. Friday is my dance class, so its a gym day too, with the gym stuff first then the dance class.
tst. I picked up my passport with the renewed one year visa for being here in Siem Reap, Cambodia. To extend visas in Cambodia you have to already be in the country, but when you first enter Cambodia you get a 'business visa' on arrival which is maybe $35 and the tourist visa is around $25 but that can't be extended. However, applying for the extension after the first month visa, has to be done almost immediately as they like to say it takes a month. It takes 2 weeks, but it is better to be safe. Of course I am already here, but the process was painless. Except maybe for the price. I am glad that is now all done and finished. Then I went shopping! The Zando shop is actually very good. They also have a more upscale section which is also good, and good value. I really like the harem pants I bought from Zando so I have bought them again in the other colour they had which is cream. Now I have in mind a way to style these but will have to search and see if I can find something like I have in mind, or if I have to use what I can find. I did want a kind of corset type of thing for the top, and Zando did have something that almost would have worked, but I won't be getting that because it isn't absolutely right and it has a small zip in it. The zip is the main reason it won't work. Most of the stuff ends up being black, so cream is good to have. The other pants i bought in recent times are for the gym and they are not black. But the ones I want to wear not for the gym, are black. I will look for a dress that has a colour to it, probably from th 'upscale shop' that is in Zando. So, Siem Reap is pretty good for fashion shopping and I saw two of the sales assistants there who were quite well styled. That is not how Cambodia was before covid, but they looked good.
31st. Gym day, of course. I will slowly continue with the Khmer/Thai therapy to allow my right leg to untwist itself back into place, and then I will see what has happened with my flexibility. I think both the legs will be in their proper place, but still with some therapy work to do, but after that my flexibility should just return to normal. Obviously I am very flexible normally. I do report on how this is progressing, and one positive with it is that there was no way to know that it would actually correct. My left knee looks like a normal knee now, but it was really out of shape for the years that this has been at its worst. That really began in 2024 at the beginning, and is correcting now in 2026. It would not happen without the therapy. I did do what I could while in Puerto Vallarta, but it was actually really bad during that year. Only the left knee was twisted not the right. I also report on the poisoning, which I am working on the damage it did. The body locks poisons away so they are not flooding the bloodstream, but that still causes damage in the places where it is locked away. The liver. The poison did go through my bloodstream and made its way to the liver. If I had not taken action to clear this, it would have been fatal. But I did successfully clear it all from when I began in February 2017 right through to 2019. For the damage I have a few very effective things I am doing and I think the process will be slow but progressive. 30th. My left leg has moved back into position after the Khmer therapy I did last Thursday. I could feel it kind of click into a corrected position and thereafter it has beenkay for walking, except that the right leg is not yet clicked back into position. So it's a strange walk! Once the right leg does complete it's 'untwisting' and then clicks back into a corrected position, I will be able to assess if I am also getting my normal flexibility back. The downside os correcting this injury stuff - and it cannot really be a downside if it is correcting it - is that it is quite toxic and whatever else, like trapped carbon dioxide or other non- anti-oxidating energy, and that shows in my face. One day I can look radiantly healthy, while the next, with this stuff, I can look like a very ill person including swollen eye. I believe this is a lymph system overload with the body trying to deal with the excess toxins. It is very hard to go thrrough this experience. It is very emotionally damaging or draining. On the good side, I was moving very well for my dance class, as good as being back to being a professional dancer except for the still not yet cleared limitations. When one is so drained by an injury such as this, people form an image of you that is not true. Also with a spinal injury, you cannot just fake it, and it does cause many difficuties which leave you very vulnerable, specifically vulnerable to 'bitches'. The people in my dance class clearly don't expect that I can do this dancing - Reggaeton but stuck with some K-Pop - and I could see in the mirror that some of these quite dismissive females were shocked seeing that I could not only do the dance stuff, but that I could really do the dance stuff. I think possibly the dance teacher saw this as well this time, and I do hope so and then she might not be so condescending to me. This attitude is not 'bitchy', it is through ignorance. I vow to do even more massively capable dancing next time! While the rest of them cannot do anything that resembles dancing. Being here is still good, and with the world situation - which is right on the brink - I believe this is the safest country to be in.
28th. Dance class today and I am doing better. Actually I am a very good professional dancer and I can see that in the studio because a studio is always surrounded by mirrors. I love being good, but I hate the amounts of issues where I still cannot move properly. Or move. However, I am pleased with what I did and sometimes with dance something else takes over and dances through you. I felt some of that today. My best favourite is the Reggaeton not the K-Pop. Really the Cambodian people are like blocks of wood and cannot move. The cuttural dance is beautiful of course, but it is rigid and slow, with complex hand movements and slow footwork. It is the opposite of Reggaeton, and those in the class cannot do it. Except the teacher who is very flexible and a good dancer, more like K-Pop though. Afterwards, there was a Fashion Show at the Kulen Hotel, it was a live TV show with a male singer who was obviously a 'name'. Those who were there as VIP guests or associated with the show in some way, looked like they were from the Rocky Horror Show with their fashion. The models looked like ladyboys, for the male ones too. Gays also always do the spider arm movements. The show was well enough presented with good music and effects, too much talking, and too much waiting between getting on with it. But good to see. Continuing with my programme and I believe I have just made another 'step forward' with the injury. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is quite a good step forward. On the other hand I have a possible problem issue with Australia almost like happened last year with my bank. So I am worried. 26th. Gym day, and I really love doing this, and will aim for almost everyday, and currently doing around 4 times a week. I also bought two more tops. I will have clothes all over the place if I continue buying up things like this. Mostly I am experimenting, firstly to get things for the gym, but also to replace my 'staple' tank tops that I have which are too big and not close enough fitting. So now I have some more fitting tops and I want these to replace the basic tops I did have. In fact I had the same ones for about 8 years. I had 4 of the same top. (Actually one of the tops is a bit big, but its okay.) The new tops are all tight fitting, and I do have a waist and almost 'dancer's body' back, but a little bit cuddly, so I have to be careful. The combo I had yesterday worked brilliantly. Obviously tops need to be quite fitting or it looks frumpy (on anyone) Today I was wearing the new black gym pants I got which are a harem style, and that means a bit bunched around the waist area so its better not to be too 'cuddly'. It was okay though, with the tighter fitting, or gym style top, and another top tied round my waist. This is a dancer look rather than a gym outfit, but I wanted to try it out. I also have a basketball type top to go over a gym top and pants if the 'look' will work. I am definitely in better shape now I can move better. I could not have gone to the gym or the dance classes before I reached a certain point in this injury progression. It is still twisted at the top of the legs, and a bit horrible to walk today, although I did walk a lot. As said I am training the fascia more than the muscles, and I do not think that gym style cardio is good for anyone. It is not a good form of execise to do. Dancing is, because it engages differently, but slogging away to get your heartrate up is not good. I think it is ultimately ageing. I do have to throw out most of the clothes I had, even what I bought in Hanoi. Puerto Vallarta was not good for buying much although I did get some good baggy trousers which I liked, but the material wasn't good and I eventually just gave it all away. When you can't walk properly (much worse than how it is now) you really don't want to draw attention to yourself. As I get better with fixing the injury (and the poisoning) then I do want to draw attention to myself. It's like the dancing, when you can't move properly, you don't want to draw attention to that! When you can dance and move it is a different story. I am doing okay with my dance class. 25th. Sometimes with the Khmer (or Thai) massage you get a not very good 'therapist' even though this time I chose the higher priced Chitta Spa. Another thing is when you book a 90 mins. session you don't know beforehand which girl you're going to get. Today my massage person was an elephant and when I said strong for the massage, to some of them, this just means press really hard everywhere. She started with nearly breaking the bones in my feet. For the back they usually can sit on the back, which this elephant did! She also nearly broke my hands and did the same pressure for my head. Of course I stopped her, but the point is with this, that there is a need to be careful. Unfortunately I had booked 90 mins of this really awful Khmer experience. I will never risk booking 90 mins again in case I get this massive sumo female again. The only place I will trust for 90 mins is the Bodia Spa, but my favourite is still the Thai massage at the Mizu, which is low priced, but once I did get a bad one, and that was the only time I booked 90 mins. I have done 3 Thai massage and 2 of them were great.
24th. Gym, followed by a Khmer massage with some of the stretching included. Now I have to let that settle in for a day because this is consistently about gradual changes. Its not about building muscles, its about training the fascia, which is what Qi Gong and martial arts do. First thing I really notice is that of those I have seen, they are not using the rowing machine correctly, and basically wasting their time doing it. It's pretty easy to figure out,. 23rd. Not a gym day, I will do that tomorrow. Instead I tested out wearing one of my two new gym pants. They are quite nice looking and may end up not being for the gym. That leaves me with a choice of 3 for the gym, and 2 I like wearing. Today was more about going to one of my 'still on the list' cafes, and I have deleted some, and am happy with others! After one of my gym days last week, probably Tuesday, I went to the nearby Italian restuarant again and that was very nice. The guy made me a really good 'lime juice' and I thought that was kinda nice. Of course I go out to different cafes and/or restaurants every evening. I went to the French-Italian one I also go to, on another day, but both times I had ravioli. Also been a while since I went to Starbucks - and I like their coffee with oatmilk, no matter what people say about Starbucks! I like it - it was good. It's not guaranteed now that everywhere you go will be a good experience. It used to be, but it isn't now. It is still very difficult going through this process with healing the spine injury. It is on its way there, its good. But it is emotionally difficult, and as anyone knows, I really like to be able to dance! My last class was good, although I did the dance class the evening before, plus the gym workout, then did the same on the Friday. I'm always testing how much I can do and get away with it. .I did a very good Thai massage on Saturday, this is stronger than the Khmer. This was the cheaper one, but they are okay. The issue with the 'cheaper' spas is that you can get a 'therapist' who is not so good. However, the one I got was good, but the one before that was not. The walking is still a bit out, often after the gym plus the massage the walking gets good, but sometimes its moving to the next 'untwisting'. I almost know that it will be good after going to the gym on Monday. The world is still waiting to see if Trump will carry out a nuclear strike on Iran - where he and the USA want to STEAL Iran's assets. 22nd. Siem Reap's extremely limited 'clothes shopping' options is nevertheless, very interesting and useful. I managed to get two pairs of gym pants and a top, and in the process can report that there is a never ending turnover of stock at the main shop. All this stuff is made over here, to then be shipped all over the world at much higher prices of course. What we get here, is a chunk or all the clothes that are made for distribution across the world. Today I got an okay pair of gym pants, and a much more sassy pair of gym pants. The first pair cost $10 and the sassy pair cost under $18. There are definitely good pieces one can get. I have enough of the gym pants now, but I will look for tops, and I'm looking for a sassy dress which lso has to be in the right kind of material. I did not overdo the gym and dance classes, although there was an adjustment time. Today I did a Thai massage, which is good to do after I have done classes, and I am progressing very well.. So apart from shopping, that is what i did. I did also go back to try the new Greek restaurant again, and all was improved, except for the manager woman who just manages to be a pain in the butt. She achieved that goal just as I was leaving, and that has made it unlikely I will go back there, maybe once in a month or so perhaps. 21st. The Afro Caribbean, Latino Reggaeton music is my absolute favourite and the best for dancing. Although the Bachata class was way too boring, it made me think about starting classes to teach how to move. Or creating a format where I can teach it. That is more about moving the hips of course, and get down and into the music, the soul of the music. The people in the class are like blocks of wood really. That's what made me think about teaching this. This type of music is played a lot here. Mind you, I also am a block of wood with the part of my back that is 'stuck' (correcting). It is like being a block of wood when I can't move! Yet for the Bachata, it was extremely easy, because it doesn't engage the one part of my back or hips, that are currently 'stuck'. So, I can dance as 'down and dirty' as it should be, but I can't walk! But when I was in Puerto Vallarta from 2022, I could walk absolutely fine, but I could not do the dance classes! I tried a couple but it was no good. When I went back to Puerto Vallarta in 2024 that was when I could no longer walk. I went through heaps of difficulties during that time there, which of course, continued through 2025, and the first part of 2026. I am obviously getting better now. The dance teacher here, Emily, is a good dancer, A very nice dancer, who could work professionally. Maybe she does but its hard to know where there would be enough work for a dancer here. She is a nice dancer though. Its difficult to find one track of Reggaeton as an example, so I can't add a track yet. Also its a great beat to dance to but really spoilt by the girls. Turns it into a 'hoe fest'. I like to see really good dancing, and it should and does get 'down and dirty' but these female dancers are not dancers, and they are not getting it, plus they look like hoes. Absolutely ruins it. Like with the Superbowl and Bad Bunny. It's such a shame to see what could be some 'great to do' dancing spoilt in this way. And if this doesn't make sense, to spell it out, it's not good enough to represent it like that. There is too much that has been ruined by the sleaze consciousness. Then there is the K-Pop style which I think has now had it's day. K-Pop has been around a long time and they are all exactly the same. However, for the female dancers they kept doing these movements where they look like spiders. They were doing that a lot with the Babal Dance school in K L, and I just don't think it looked so good, or looked like what the girls felt it was supposed to be. There is one clip on the Babel facebook page (on the part I can access, because I dont' use facebook) where they had a guest female dancer from Sth Korea. Really, this was all the 'spider stuff' and what she was actually doing was a strippers' dance of the old school. That's all it is. This is what I think they should get away from. The dance should be sexy, but that stuff isn't that. It's not okay to go out to a nightclub and dance too much like this, but it is okay for in the gym or other form of dance class! HOW TO DANCE WITHOUT LOOKING STIFF (GROOVE TUTORIAL)Watch. 10 mins. It isn't the hip stuff, and its two guys teaching this, but it is good.
20th. Began the Bachata class, and that will be the end of that. Teacher is fine, but no-one is anywhere near able to dance this, and that makes it no fun. I have never done Bachata before, but it is pretty easy. Have to say I was nearly tearing my hair out with the music choice of 'Stand By Me' by John Lennon, sort bachataed up, but still almost the only music this teacher used. Ironically, I can easily really move my hips, which I think is part of what should go with this dance style. I can't walk properly, bits are still stuck, but I can easily do all the slinky movements for this type of dance! That's a good thing, and I would have liked to do an ongoing class that was working with the hips. Ideally this would work better if the teacher did Bachata steps for one, (not partners or pairs) so that we could do this as a class. I don't think he taught this in a very helpful way, just going through some basics, then leaving everyone to it, for the last 1/3rd of the class. It was only full of female gym goers and some of the fitness instructors. However, I was still better than any of them which means I either have to hold back and not 'dance' this thing, or I do dance this thing. I think the only point in the class is to enjoy doing the dance. Actually, I didn't like the teacher much! Other than that, it was a good day. I'm really loving this honey and bee products stuff I bought. The honey around my eyes has really helped with the soreness. I just put it on and it's all okay to just leave it there. I put it on at the beginning of the day and didn't take it off. It has healed around my eyes. I also think the actual serum and cream I bought is mainly made up of 'royal jelly' and that is an amazing powerhouse of nutrients. I think it must be absorbed into the skin down to useful levels which could help heal the damage from when I was poisoned.
19th. Bachata classes start tomorrow, therefore, I start Bachata classes tomorrow. I am not mad about Bachata but I will see if it is okay. I also intend to add a yoga class to my routine although I have to be careful with that. There is a Zen Yoga studio 5 mins walk away from where I am 'living'. Today was a gym day. I always feel better after going to the gym. I also did a Khmer massage, and I have bought a Gua Sha which was part of a nice set I could buy from the Bodia Spa which is all natural ingredients products. I have more of the body oil which I really like using everyday, and because the set included a Plant Oil face oil, I will be experimenting with that. If I wrote about the raw, organic, unfiltered natural honey that is available, then I am experimenting with that too. There is a serum and a face cream, both cost $8 each, and it seems to be a combination of royal jelly with other bee products which can be honey, propolis, and honey. I have also experimented with using the raw, unfiltered honey directly on my skin, and now using it around my eyes as a medicine, because I seem to have some allergy issues and honey is a wonderful healing balm. Raw, unfiltered honey is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory so I am using it as a medicine but without any chemicals. I am using it around the eye, although some of it gets into the eye but that seems to be okay! No problems. I mentioned the pain with my 'injury area' the night before last, so something was moving around, and the next day I couldn't walk as well yet again. This is the cycle, like through each vertebrae. It is still 'untwisting' so it goes out, moves into place, then moves down to the next one. So., my walking was not easy, the gym was fine, all okay, the Khmer massage helped, and after I walked okay. Now I hope I will be in the right phase of he process for the Bachata class, and also that there is my more important dance class on Friday.
18th. I did my visa renewal today for another year. It will take about 2 weeks to get my passport back, but its good to get the visa out of the way. My ideal plan would remain as Cambodia being my base, but I would like to go to Kuala Lumpur for 3 months from next January/Fenruary time. Tomorrow will be my gym day, and that is about the peak of what I like doing here. That and the Thai style massage therapy. My right leg is still twisted , which means the left side is also out, and it is the entire length from one leg socket to the other. During the night it can sometimes be painful as these little bones and things try to move into the correct locations. It was llike that last night, and the pain woke me up. Everything is improving but still correcting. I feel that Cambodia is not as good as it was before covid. The people need to be careful because they may not remain a popular tourist destination. The people are a little bit spoilt now things are better here. When I first came to Cambodia I did voluneteer teaching in a Buddhist school and generally did things to help the country which was recovering from Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge - which murdered most of the population in a genocide to create 'Year 1' again, and erase the history and everything. It is reasonably okay to find good places to eat, but some people are now trying to be more 'American' than the French that is their heritage. You can choose a place to eat that you like and go there regularly, but you'll find the owners/servers. here or anywhere, often do this silly thing, which is suddenly look in amazement that you are going back to their restaurant. This is a bad habit. The best thing to do is just be normal otherwise it is offputting. The place I was going to for the falafal and hummous (which isn't hommous its mashed up chickpea mush) the woman owner always looks amazed that I am back again - I go there around every 7 or 8 days - but not again. That's now off the list. 17th I am now walking with a Marilyn Monroe style hip sway! When something finally slips into place the result can be a dramatic change. There is a definitely a progressive improvemnt with the intesive programme I am doing, Its like I'm knocking myself out at the gym, but what I'm doing is working, along with a lot of the Thai massage therapy. It wa not possible to get to this stage until this spine issue reached a certain point. Trying to get everytthing working again is not possible when the alignement is still out. So when I started the dance classes, in May, that was exactly the right time to begin. I am walking better and with some ease, and even for this I am grateful because these are things you usually take for granted. I do expect to get good results with the gym work, I mean for everything, and my expectations are high. Obviously when you are 20 the body is quite well muscled and it's easy. But so long as you do weight training and exercise, the muscles respond the same and become the same, the difference is you have to do exercise to achieve that. 16th. I was more improved with my dance class on Friday, and amongst all the class there is only the teacher Emily, and myself who can actually dance. It is quite a lot into the 'hip movements' which I am okay with except for the one that gets stuck where the injury is! Apart from that, I'm pretty good with most of it, and I could see a few gym members could see I can do this, and that was good, because they kind of automatically think it is only someone aged 20 who can do this stuff! I am looking for a new place to stay for the remaining 5 months I plan on being here, even though this has to be my 'home base' and I will be renewing my year visa later next week. The room is okay, it serves its purpose and I really don't want more at this stage. What I don't like is that it is run by an okay Indian but that means there are many Indian men who come here for their holiday and my room is right sbove the pool. It is not good hving Indian men around, simply because it isn't a good thing. The Indian male consciousness is not far different from the Tate brothers, or a male rooster. As covered, whoever is in authority in Cambodia is ruining most of the reasons to come here. The ONLY reason for most people now, is to see Angkor Wat and then leave. It is also being degraded by the types of tourists they are getting now. There is also the ridiculous airport that has been built here and in Phnom Penh, and there is way too much Chinese stuff in the supermarkets, with it being a good idea not to buy any of it! There are also many good things for anyone living here as I am doing, but it isn't as good as it was pre-covid. My pateince has to be stellar as I wait out getting to where I expect to get to with my injury. Tomorrow will be another gym day and probably a Khmer or Thai massage.
15th. The 'healing plan' is working, and it is very clear my right leg is 'twisted' at the top where the leg joins the body, and I am 'untwisting' it! To think, I trained as a dancer with issues like this!! In fact everybody is 'twisted' in much the same way, but I inadvertently did something that began the 'untwisting' process. I am fairly bored with Siem Reap, its okay as my base, but I always used to go to KL or Singapore for a break, and right now I can't because I have to concentrate on fixing my body. However, I am clearly nearly okay with that. For the Khmer therapy, I am extending into more stretches and 'pulling about' because that helps realign the entire body too. Eventually, when I have finished the current gym membership and also when I can go back to Kuala Lumpur, that is what I will do for 3 months and go to the dance school. Probably it will be the dance classes at the gym because they seem better than the school. Babel Gym . It is a really good gym, very upscale and located at one of the high end malls Suria. Although it looks like they have moved to KLCC I will have to check that. I'm wondering if its the same people running it because the dance classes don't look as good as before. Doesn't seem to be the same teachers or level of those teachers. Even so, I still want to do classes in KL. I will be happy with a gym that has dance classes that are more than the once a week available here. really prefer a more lively city even though Siem Reap has plenty of life, it doesn't have a city vibe, and I like the city so long as its a nice city. Anyway, to do this, I still have my yearly resident visa for Cambodia, but I go to KL for 3 months, then back here, then back to KL and do it that way. Personally, I think K-pop has had its day. The usual routines for the girls are always all the the same and I just think its been around long enough. I remember it from the days of 'Super Junior' who were doing a tour here recently. I remember them from 14 years years ago, they must be well in their 30's by now. Actually I like the reggaeton best now. That's the sort of Puerto Rican Afro-Caribbean stuff, like Bad Bunny who seems to have faded. I know I have covered this plan to get to dance classes in KL before, but when I did I was stuck in Puerto Vallarta and the plan had to be for some future time. I did go to one 'hip hop' class there but it wasn't very good, plus far too much unnecessary exercise 'warm up' before even beginning. The reason I am in Siem Reap - to January 2027 - is obviously to correct this physical injury, but also I am, technically blacklisted from going to Malaysia until the end of December this year. I was there during covid, which we were allowed to do, but apparently the airport thought otherwise. I didn't know that at all. They did let me in in 2023.
14th. Considerably improving with my dance class. I also did the rowing machine and the cycle thing that isn't a bike. The last time I did that, 2 weeks ago, I could not walk for 4 days! The first day after was awful, but it kept on going! I'll see how I go, this time. As for the class, my dancing was better, the legs don't move properly yet so there are some things I am stuck on. I can do a lot of movement, but not really leap about yet. In normal circumstances I am very flexible and 'energetic'. I am definitely on the home run with the 'unravelling' of the spine injury. It has been and remains a horrible thing to go through for much more than the actual injury. Nevertheless, I just focus on what has to be done, and do it. There is no-one and nothing of 'importance' to my life here, so I can just get on with it, and I am very lucky to be able to be here in a place where I can do exactly what I need to do. That is, plenty of therapy of the right kind, which is the Khmer and the Thai massage, although it never be guaranteed how good it will be. With the 'expensive' ones I have found they were all good. The absolute best was the 'cheaper' Thai one. I don't know if I can get items sent to me if I buy them from overseas. I am going to try to buy the 'skin needling' item from the US so I can attack my skin! I have to find out if I will receive the order at all, but once that is okay, I can buy more and do some serious stuff to achieve my goal. I have made a mistake with a fringe which I have wait to grow out! It turns I can buy some 'good enough' clothes to replenish my wardrobe. I do have to be here in Siem Reap until the end of the year. Cambodia still has to be my 'home base' country, although I prefer a lively city, as said, like KL. At least Siem Reap is lively, with plenty to do. 13th. I'm paid for another month here and my intention is to be here until I can walk properly, that is, that the injury is fixed. It's definitely getting there. I did another Thai massage today after the gym, and tomorrow is the dance class. Pretty much what I would like, is to go to Kuala Lumpur in the new year, where I can stay for 3 months. But its a much livelier place, a real city, and a good city. So I would go to the end of my current gym membership then go to KL because I can get a lot done there. I can go to the hairdresser I really like the best, and there are many super duper shopping malls! I would still have to be based in Cambodia, with the year visa which I am going to renew next week, but they have a good dance school in KL and I would definitely do that. At the moment I am still blacklisted for being there during covid - for which we had permission to be there! I did go back in 2023 and they let me in. It will be 5 years ago that I originally left in December 2021. There is more I can do in KL. If I hadn't got the poison out of my body I would be dead by now. The body kind of holds on to toxins so they aren't in the bloodstream but if you heal it, then they flood the bloodstream. I figured I could find a way to deal with the skin damage later. Its better to be alive than dead! But this flooding of the bloodstream with toxins is what happens with drug users. The body holds it back for a long time, then suddenly can't handle anymore so you see people (much, much worse than anything that happened to me) but they take their drugs, are okay, then very suddenly they become like old men. This happened with Jean-Claude Van Damme, and with the guitarist from Pink Floyd, David Gilmour. I think Cambodia is losing the things that made it so special and authentic, and this is apparent now I've returned after covid. The Cambodia I fell in love with when I first arrived, was far more authentic, and the French influence that was Indochine, was a gift from god for them. It made it a very good place to be. The people generally are nice, but can also be immensely stupid. Generally not evil, but stupid! I always liked Kuala Lumpur better, but I don't have a way of staying there, or I don't really know the visa situation. But its good in Siem Reap and not anywhere near as brain dead, and dead, and out of touch, as Puerto Vallarta was. 11th Good gym day, and then I did another strong Khmer massage. For sure, this is helping correct this spine issue and things are moving into their correct places. As said, this is not the place for clothes shopping, but my store here is actually quite prolific in getting new stuff in and a lot of it is okay. Basically the clothes for shops and brands in the West are physically made here - better profits for the western companies - so we also get what is available. I haven't bought all that much, but everything I have bought is going to work. In reality I would like to wear boots with the skirts I have bought, which is 2 skirts. If I was in London I could dress with style, also can do in KL and Singapore, but you can't do that everywhere. I tried some Mexican food today which was okay, and last night I had Italian. A Ukraine (Russian) restaurant is opening up and I called in just to see the menu.because I don't know what Ukrainian food is like. It's a Ukrainian restaurant now, but soon there won't be an independent Ukraine, so it is a Russian restaurant. Anyway, they are open until 3 am. I asked if the dumpling things they have are like ravioli, and the owner thought I was Italian. Italians are very stylish (I wasn't stylish, I'm just saying Italians are.) Italy is considered one of the best upscale places. 10th. I had to do the things on my agenda for this week, which didn't leave time for the gym, but I did so a strong Khmer massage. Tomorrow is definitely a gym day though. I think the cycling macine that isn't a bike is very helpful for this injury, so I want to always do the gym at least 3 times a week. 9th. Not the gym, but went shopping and got a couple of things. One more set of gym pants, and a skirt which will probably be okay to wear around here. As always the colour options are limited to black, white or grey. These two are grey, although the gym pants could be slightly khaki grey. The spine injury is absolutely definitely improving. It's more about my right leg being twisted where it joins the body, and it is very much improved. I will continue with my programme for this. 8th. Yet another Khmer massage. This was a different place, lovely spa next to the Park Hyatt, and in a higher price range, although yesterday's super, super strong Thai massage was my favourite. The spa experience here is very good. The spas can be really beautiful with the Buddhas and amazing style for the decor. The experience begins with a cold drink to prepare, then a foot wash where they often put in herbs and fruit and scrub with salt. Then it is the massage and afterwards, like today, its a hot herbal tea, and they gave me some mango. The better spas will do all this, which makes it a very nice experience. (Relax Spa) As said, I like it super strong, basically squashing me flat into the massage table, digging into the bones, squeezing the muscles, and stretching and pulling everything about! For Sunday I want to aim to go to the gym. No other specific plans yet. But from Monday I have some things to do. We are waiting to see what is going to happen when the US fuel reserves run out in mid August. Don't know how much it affects here, we are not the 'enemy'. 7th. Gym again. most of my week will always be the gym. I did do all the exercise machines before the dance class, which was leaving me wide open to problems tomorrow. As it happened the dance class was cancelled because the teacher was sick. I am worried about her (Emily) because last week she was getting out of breath doing the routines, and had to stop and watch the class. The week before that she was sick. So I am concerned that she has maybe a heart issue or something. Emily is a very nice girl, someone worth saying that she is a nice person. I will try to find out if she is okay next time I am there. I will probably go to the gym on Sunday. After my gym session today I went to have a Thai massage, which was supposed to be stronger. It was very good, really pulled me about, and it was strong! This was about half the price. Usually, I have been going to the best places to ensure I was getting the right stuff. The cheaper ones can be uncertain, could be good, could be a lemon. This was good. I want to do more, because it must be the case that eventually everything will go into the right place, and hold there, and it will be fixed. I went to the tailor to get the skirt. Seems very good. There was not much else I could achieve for today, but it was a productive day. 6th. No problems with the injury today, so what I did was okay. I also took that new skirt I bought to the dressmaker place to get the zip removed and elastic put in so I can wear it. The zip was stuck and never worked. Its actually a tailor, and I thought the man who is a tailor, would charge at least $10 for this, but it is only $4. Then finally, I might have something different to wear. It was good to have got this done, because going to this place does not always fit in with what I have arranged for the day, and it is a bit out of my way. But now i have done it! I will collect it tomorrow, Friday, then go to the gym, probably just keeping to the dance class. The gym is comfortable to do, pretty easy, although I am increasing the workout loads of course. I am almost at the highest level with the rowing machine. For the cycle thing, I just go up through the levels but it is the actual movement that I am doing this for because it does affect the lower spine where the injury is - and I do mean that I want to make it move. The dance class is not a problem, in reality I am young and fit and it isn't a stretch. The difficulty is always the injury, and also the poisoning. I have a plan to correct the damage from the poisoning, but that depends on what I can do here in Siem Reap. After taking my skirt to the tailer, I went to the Bodia Spa for another Khmer massage. This is the third one this week, but I could not move after what I did at the gym last Friday. I like this massage to be very, very strong. Khmer style is the one that 'pulls you about', gets right into the bones, and you are clothed in a sort of tai chi outfit. Mostly my life is about the gym, and equally the Khmer therapy! I am pretty pleased with everything today. Next things on the list are my hair, because I want the Balayage done. That is a form of highlights. I would also like to buy a range of different clothes but as said, Siem Reap is not the place for clothes shopping. I will be able to get a few things though.
5th. Did get to the gym and did most of my programme, but I will have to see how my 'untwisting' with the legs is going. I will know tomorrow. I might be getting an idea of the results my workout at the gym, with the right 'hip' again being affected. This part of 'twisted' right leg (at the joint to the body) which the Korean acupuncturist commented on. he independently commented on - and therefore confirmed - the 'untwisting' and that is what appears to be shaping up now! I don't know what it is, but I do know there are some bones strangely moving around in the area and I suspect this is going to be very stiff tomorrow. Doing my workout is very comfortable. I don't mean I am making it too easy, but it is not a problem to use this cycle machine, although I do know that i have to be cautious with everything I do when it involves the base of my spine and the leg joints. However, the cycle machine is very comfortable to do and feels 'good' to do. It's afterwards that strange things begin to happen. So it does not feel as if I have done anything unusual or strange for my body. But afterwards it responds, on the right, as if I have done something unusual and strange. I did also get the 'beauty device' I wanted, and saved spending an extra $145 on it. The 'latest' model which costs $145 more, has two additional modes which I don't care about, and it has one extra higher setting it can go to, which I also don't care about. This was not explained to me before. Now I have the unit, it is easy to use, easy to follow initially, and easy to recharge. This is very helpful. Yesterday I went back to the new Greek restaurant I tried the week before when it opened. This time is was a bit busier, and they had a woman kind of maitre d' or something. Every few minutes I was asked if everything was okay, was the food okay, did I want to change my chair, and really, it became annoying. That will be the reason I don't go back there, but if I see that is not happening, I'll try again. 4th. I was not okay enough to go to the gym, but did go for another Khmer massage at Chitta Spa where I find they do a good, strong massage and that it is very helpful. I am improved after that and should be okay for the gym tomorrow. I did want to do more at the gym this week and onwards, but I have to learn how much I can do. I can certainly go 3, 4 or 5 times a week but not do some of the exercises on the day I do the dance class. I also did not get my new skin device for home use because I have not sorted out about the charger. I will try to get that tomorrow, and then get the device. I will have to trymy Korean clinic for any skin needling, which I wanted to report on. However, if they don't do the right depth, I'm not paying out for something that doesn't do what itis supposed to do. If that's how it goes, then I cannot do that at all here in Siem Reap. 3rd. I will have to remember to do a Khmer therapy massage after the gym when I do as much as I did on Friday. I was still bad today, even worse, but good after I did the Khmer massage. Then I called round to enquire about the 'skin needling'. I saw the "doctor" and my immpression is they don't really know what they are doing. So, that makes it a bad day today. They do do it at the Korean clinic which I don't really want to go to, and also they charge more than double. The good point is they do it right, and they do know what they are doing, but it still may not be what I want from it. I also did not buy the skin gadget, which is also expensive, but I think I need to do more research. Again, a bad day.
Aug.2nd. It is still a bit of a stiff day for me, although that is expected. Maybe on Monday I will do the Khmer therapy. I also have a few things to do, so it is a busy day. It isn't a gym day, that will be the day after. However, to day was not too much. I went to the 'best' Italian restaurant and had my usual ravioli. Then I went to a place called The Space. Siem Reap is lively in the central area, but it was not overly busy with tourists. Plenty of good energy though. 'The Space' is semi-indoors and yet open as in blending with outdoors. The inside part looks something like a cave. Upstairs they have music and a live band. This place was apparently on its soft opening when I came here in May last year, and I think they own a recently opened nightclub opposite.
Still, across the road is a nightclub and as said the central area here is very social and lively, but not rough. Here is the nightclub link which is pretty ordinary as a website, as nightclubs go. Empire nightclub. I think they should change their website. The colouring they use, especially the yellow/orange, is really not attractive, and yet the real places are attractive. The Space is good and has a relaxed, upmarket look, with neutral tones and part of it almost cave-like, but also with lots of plants and a small water garden. As I get to walk better - which is how it is now except after overdoing a big workout like I did on Friday - I will come here more often. As to the website, what is shown looks more like the Hard Rock Cafe, which is across the river not too far away, but on the other side. I went there when it opened, quite a few years ago, but I didn't particularly want to go back. There are plenty of very nice cafes and 'social places' along the other side of the river. It's all very laid back and a good vibe.
1st. It is expected that after a big 'gym day' yesterday, that I would not not be moving very well. I'll have to work out what I think made this worse, and I think it is the additional spine stretches I did more than anything else. It doesn't matter about today. I took a tuk tuk to where i planned to have dinner, then I walked everywhere else. I have to plan now to renew my visa to stay here for the next year. You have to apply about 4 weeks ahead of when the existing visa expires. It is easy to do, just go to the travel places that offer this service. It is safe to hand over your passport because it has to go to Phnom Penh. The year visa is around $300. I'm already here of course, but for those coming here as a tourist, you have to get the Business Visa at the airport when you arrive. That is the one that can be extended. The Tourist visa cannot be extended. I also have a quite a lot of expenses planned for August given that I found the device I wanted, and that I want to do the 'skin needling'. I also have to stock up on some supplements. I think this is also a consideration with the deadline of mid-August approching. The Trump=Q-MAGA agenda was the world slavery and domination agenda, and as evil and draconian as these murdering thugs are openly showing themselves to be. There may be considerable difficulties that hit after mid August, not necessarily for here in South East Asia, but certainly for America, and probably all the Zionist controlled countries (UK, EU, Canada, Australia). Nevertheless, I still think I should be prepared. For the "Lifestyle" aspect, to go to the gym costs me nothing; if I have the device I want that can replace 'facials', if I have mostly fixed the worst of the spine injury than I can cut back on the massage therapies. I will apply for the next visa around the 3rd week of August. The murdering thugs with their world domination agenda, which does include killing everyone who is not one of them, could decide that the use of nuclear weapons is their only option. I would imagine that now Iran has driven the US to move all its militaary assets to Israel, Iran will attack hard. Probably that will include all access to nuclear weapons too. July 31st. Gym day again, and I did all the weight training and the machines, plus I did my dance class. I took a tuk tuk to the gym but everything after that I walked to. Now I am home, and I can't move! Once back, I tried the water kefir probiotic drink I bought earlier, and probably should have drunk it when I bought it. Now I have learned that I should drink it not long after buying it. As a probiotic drink, that means it is fizzy, so when I opened the bottle it kind of exploded, and most of it exited the bottle. It doesn't go off, it just 'matures' some more, and my dragonfruit choice did not taste quite as nice as it did when I test tasted some in the shop. Anyway, I will get some more and when I take the bottle back I get $1 off the next bottle, and also, as a 'loyal customer' with my 'loyalty card', once I have bought 8 of them, even those at the special price, I get another one free. I will only buy one, and maybe get some Japanese miso from there. Maybe I'll get the sauerkraut next time. Last time I did buy bee pollen, so I am having a spoonful of that each day. I am thinking of adding 'royal jelly' capsules to my supplements. That comes from the Queen Bee and is supposed to have many interesting and some unknown nutrients in the mix. I also might turn into a bee.
It was good to add some dance style, because it then felt more like I was dancing, although I am definitely not moving very well in the injured areas. Usually I like to kind of stand out with the dancing aspect, because, I don't know, I just used to like that! I can move enough to do the kind of thing shown in the picture, but I could not in any way, do the splits. As a person with a diploma as a yoga teacher, I also cannot sit in the lotus position now, but before I used to find the half lotus extremely comfortable. I will patiently just do what I can do, and not worry about it. There is a Zipline here which at some point I may do. Its not going to be until I have progressed some more with the injury, but it looks good to do. Angkor Zipline.
30th. This was a gym day, and it was great. There is no problem with me ever attending the gym, I really like it. For transport to get there I just get a tuk tuk and wherever I go it only costs $1. This is also why I need small change, which means plenty of single dollars. For everywhere else today, and for getting back, I walked, which is good to be able to do now. This is the amount of improvement since I began the dance classes at the gym 3 months ago, also a more intensive therapy time too, but I could see I was at a point where the gym could work for me. I was doing plenty of Asian massage therapy when I was temporarily living in Hanoi. Living in Siem Reap is a permanent living place. I absolutely love Cambodia. I am very pleased with my progress, as it was a full 2 years that I was having considerable difficulties with this injury, and it is very frightening to experience, because you don't know if it is ever going to correct. The next reporting will be on the skin needling to correct the damage caused from being poisoned. The poison was detoxed by a miracle find, 4-5 years ago. The damage takes some work, of which the skin needling is the best answer. I did this in Puerto Vallarta but only for the last 3 months I was there, because that is when I found a suitable place there. It is only one facial each month then restoration time. The needles penetrate to the deeper level where the actual damage occurs, and the wound causes the body to heal it, which in turn repairs the existing damage. The skin needling will be a regular thing and is $100 per treatment. That is a fair price, but I will have to test out that the place does it properly. I do now know that it is a doctor who does this. Saying 'doctor' in Cambodia does not mean it's anything like a western standard, but its okay. If it's good, then That will be a regular part of my Lifestyle here. 29th. I did not have a specific plan for today, and what I can do is often dictated by the money I have in my purse. That means if I only have notes for large amounts,say $50, then I can only go to places where I know they are able to provide change. I also didn't have the small change to get a tuk tuk to where I did plan to go. For this reason, I walked to the nearest healthy food place, which is almost next door, and that meant today's meal was a pumpkin salad. I then walked to my small, local hair salon place to get my hair trimmed, which was definitely on my list to do, and once I had change from my meal I could do the hair trim. It cost $6, and they do very good job. From there I walked to Starbucks for a coffee. The fact that I have been able to walk in this way today is testament to the fact that I am improving with this injury. I do believe this cycle machine thing that isn'e a bike is a good addition to my gym programme. After the coffee I decided I would walk down to the other end of town, to the Angkor Supermarket. The supermarket seems to be Chinese owned now and is actually a bit expensive for some things. I can find most of the things I like at better prices elsewhere, but this supermarket is useful for some things. The goal was to get creatine which is good for muscle development. This is a product they always have here, and it is well priced. That walk was okay too. Overall, today was a very useful day for the 'programme'. Tomorrow will be the gym again, but on my walk to the other end of town I stopped to get some information from various places that are also related to the 'programme'. Many years ago, when an incompetent dentist poisoned me by putting the mercury filling into the gum which then went into my bloodstream, that caused damage to my skin as if I had been a heavy smoker which I was not. I was a 'juice and plant food' health nut. The damage was very bad though, and in February 2017 I began a treatment with a herbal compound called 'black salve' that is banned in most Zionist controlled countries because it is effective in healing cancer (and toxic poisoning) That is why it is banned. It is a herbal mix which I was able to get the separate ingredients for in Australia, but when checking now, they have been banned from even selling the ingredients. I had bought these in Australia in 2016, then returned to Cambodia and although I get the year wrong when I started using this, it was 2017 because that is when I did a trip from Cambodia to Kuala Lumpur and I was just tentatively trying this. The salve is placed on the skin. I won't go into the gory details but it was massively and magnificently effective. Fortunately I had a few years to spare to do this, because I began in February 2017 and continued through even to 2020 and in smaller amounts even into 2021. That is how bad this was, yet the salve did brings all the poison out through the skin. It was very full on for 3 years. Had I not done this, the poisoning would have killed me. I don't look any different! This is just to cover the 'programme'. None of this was on my face, so nothing was visible, ( I have very good skin everywhere, its just where the poison came out, which is good, but it didn't permantently affect anything) but thepoisoning did damage the skin on my face, like as if I had been a person who smoked a lot. So, I have some better facials I can now do, and that is something that is the next part of my 'programme' here. It is no different from how my skin has been for the last 6 years but I can do things to make it better. I have a couple of options that I can use here, and that is what I will be adding into the mix. I now might consider a Personal Trainer for one day a week and just for going through the weight training aspect, and stretches. I could consider one day that is intensively on that, and every other day I go is the cycling thing, the rowing machine and the general weights I already use.
28th. The Tai Chi classes and school are closed until December. I did find the Ahura Mazda House, but I think it is too far away. It's not "far" in normal terms, maybe the accommodation I stayed at when in PV, to that Gallerias shopping centre, but it is far for here. I did show up for my gym appearance today, and I really like going to the gym. I have added another exercise to my programme, this time the cycle type thing except it isn't a bike. This is good for the tops of my legs where the legs meet the joint to the body which is where I have things 'twisted'. (That sounds interesting!) I think this will be helpful, this plus the rowing machine and a few weight training exercises and of course my dance class. After this I tried the fairly new, 'British Fish & Chips' place, which is new to me, and I don't usually eat much fish because I am vegetarian, but I wanted to try this. I would say it was not really all that great and wasn't like 'British Fish & Chips'. The owner was from Ireland then 30 years in Canada, but then moved to Thailand for a few months then last year came to Cambodia. We had a nice enough conversation to start, but I asked what he thought of the war on Iran and clearly he didn't know anything, and I think the conversation went downhill from there! Probably because I decided to explain the reality and also that I don't have a lot of time for people who are as ignorant as this. I was not rude to him! Iran is the hero of the world They have stood up to the murdering bully and put these degenerates in their place. When Iran first responded to the US attacks they said, "Who the f..k do you think you are, to tell us what to do". They have been brilliant. I won't be trying the 'fish & chips' again anyway.
27th. Later, on this Monday, I didn't fit in going to the gym but did the strong Khmer massage therapy at Chitta Spa, then went to a brand new Greek Restaurant, almost next door to the spa. It's actually next door to 'Stefano's' Italian restaurant which I have not tried. The Greek restaurant was very 'Santorini', but I thought the look was 'Mykonos' - which means the blue and white colours typical of Santorini, or Mykonos, and it was very nice. I will add this to my list of places to eat that I like. This was a very positive day, and tomorrow will be the gym day. I didn't look for the 'Ahura Mazda' place. I have also enquired about Tai Chi classes after an internet search. These are at the Golden Turtle School of Tai Chi, Kung Fu, and Qi Gong. It will depend on how easy they are to get to, whether this idea will work. Earlier. We're at July 27th in SE Asia and that is 17 months since I left Puerto Vallarta. I spent so long there that I am sorry I don't and didn't really like it! More important is being here in Siem Reap. Even from the first day i ever discovered here, I fell in love with here, and the blend of French-Khmer culture. After the gym on Friday I went to the nearby Italian restaurant again and the area which is near the gym, has a nice feel that is rather European. It's much quieter than the 'Pub Street' vibe, but a very nice relaxed ambience. Right now I am trying to find a residence place called 'Ahura Mazda House' because I want to move from where I am. It is apparently about a kilometer from where I currenty am, but I am having difficulty locating it. So on Monday, which this now technically is - but when I get up - I am going to try to find this place. I do want to move for several reasons. This is just my first try with looking around for somewhere new. I don't have another place to look at. I tried looking yesteday and the day before, as it was supposed to be "near" Artisans d'Angkor, and it wasn't. But here is the 'Artisans d'Angkor'.
22nd.Clearly I am involved in a very intensive drive to correct the 'spine injury' issue, and I am definitely 'getting there'. My gym pass was actually valid for 2 months not 3, but I am now on my gym membership - and I will certainly be at the gym most days of the week, so far as it fits in with my schedule. 21st. I did make it to the gym. Love the rowing machine! The target is up in the 100's but that is also very comfortable to do. 20th. Well I have bought the 'Princess Jenna' skirt from the second store for clothes here in Siem Reap which is not quite as good as the first big store that we have here. Siem Reap does not have great places for clothes shopping, but these are actually good. Good fabric and made well. I don't know what the 'Princess Jenna' skirt is, it sounds like something from Disney! It's a long skirt, and maybe I should get a pair of little wings to wear and hold a fairy princess wand! In these shops there is not much colour choice, but the clothes are pretty good and made well. This country and region is where even the highest end designers get their clothes made then sell at high mark up prices in the West. These stores are not designer, but they would make these clothes for good level high street fashion in the West. So my new skirt cost $10. That was 50% off and I could not imagine buying any skirt in Australia for $20. However, now I've tried it, I may need to get a dressmaker here to make some adjustments. Fortunately Siem Reap has a lot of these too! For now the point is that even Siem Reap - which is where I live - it is possible to buy clothes for men and women, and that is something that is good to know. I do still need to get more gym pants - the wider baggy trousers that I'm looking for. I like what I have bought and want to wear them other than for the gym. I was very late going out today and did not make it to the gym. I tried the Pumpkin Facial at the 'Chitta Spa', and basically I was not mad about that but I can see it was actually quite good, so that's not crossed off my 'lifestyle' list. . I am also going to try the Pumpkin Body Scrub' as part of my 'lifestyle list'. I will do the gym tomorrow, which is Tuesday and then go for the 'specialist' massage therapy which is different from the Khmer message, but is some kind of special traditional therapy. I'm actually now thinking that the Pumpkin Facial might be amazing. I was planning to write it off, but maybe pumpkins have some magic to them that I didn't realise! *By checking a few 'wellbeing' videos I have to say I don't actually wear make up. I have a few lip tints and a pencil for my eyes, maybe it's good to brush the eyebrows, but I don't actually wear make up. But I do believe in healthy, natural facials and my skin does have the 'glow' but naturally. I haven't worn any mascara for years, really years, but I am thinking of maybe trying a little mascara again. Obviously the other 'lifestyle' interests are plenty of nice cafes and places to dine out in, good entertainment in the evenings, and probably a lot of 'hobby' interests. I am less interested in 'hobbies' but the gym and my spa treatments take up plenty of time before dining out and going to nice places in the evening. It is also very nice to walk along the riverside, or around the 'royal park' which is where the 'royal residence' is for the Cambodian king. There are two cinemas here. It's kind of nice to have that option available instead of everything on the computer. 19th. Health and Wellness in Siem Reap. Sunday : Last week I discovered the shop where they are producing all the probiotic kefir and kombucha drinks and I decided to take a bigger look at it today plus bought some. Probiotic drinks are really beneficial, so this is a significant 'blessing' that someone is producing these here. They also make sauerkraut' and I will get that despite that I don't know how much I may or may not love it. I will try, because all wellness reports are that it is great to eat this. They have Kim Chi which I don't think I would go with, but also miso, and a few other 'of interest' things. I certainly could get the miso and make miso soup - which is just the miso with hot water. They also have bee pollen and that is very rich in nutrients. My next trip will be for more stocks than I acquired this time. I also get the fermented Noni Juice which someone else makes here, and that is a 'hard to get' and expensive thing which is very good for 'health and wellness'. Well, I am a gym member and surprisingly enjoying going to the gym! This is because I really like the rowing machine and the other few excerises I am attempting to begin with. I started the gym nearly 3 months ago with the dance classes, which I get through with a 'reality check' that you cannot be a dancer if you can't really move. It is getting better though. But the 3 months is now extending to 9 months. I have also spent the last 3 months seeing what other 'wellness enhancing' things I can benefit from here in Siem Reap. After the flight from PV to Hanoi, I experienced the worst of what the injury was, but the beginning of the worst was after the flight from Hanoi to PV in 2024. Now, after over a year, maybe 2 years, I am absolutely 'moving forward', and that is why I am so excited about this. I am looking at Miranda Kerr's videos for her organic lifestyle and skincare range that she has. She is a former Victoria's Secret 'supermodel' from Australia, and is now 43 and has 4 children. She looks really great, but I am already a fan. I think she was the prettiest VS model but it is very close because they were all gorgeous and great inspiration. But I don't think the recent 're-invented VS Show' is worth looking at, and the ones they are using today or in 2024, are not so good. Watch 6 mins. This is Miranda Kerr, 3 months ago, former VS model who now has 4 children and her oldest is her 15 year old son Flynn. Really hard to believe! Of course I can't get her products here, and they are very expensive too, but most of her 'well being philosophy' is like my own. For me, I can do my 'Bodia Spa' facials and the 'pumpkin facial', plus the 'pumpkin scrub' and of course the Khmer massage which is something like the ideas in a different video (which I'm not adding) of Miranda's well being tips, but as said Khmer massage is fully clothed. The only skin brushing I'll do is with the Pumpkin Scrub - but that's because I can't get the brush here, although the spa might recommend what they use. I'll be reporting on the Pumpkin Scrub later. There are also really surprising things to find here in Cambodia, in that someone is providing fermented Noni Juice which is an incredibly good thing to have. I can also get kombucha, and water kefir. Being in Cambodia I think the Bodia Spa herbal skincare is excellent and in line with Miranda's choices. I agree with her recommendations for attending to the blood circulation (I also include the lymphatic circulation)
16th. My continuing report on 'life in Siem Reap'. (It is both a report on Siem Reap, but also loosely related to the topic of 'untwisting' the reverse rotation of the 'Life Streams' which is covered in a different section. However, in my experience I would say the real reversal lierally physically takes place from the naval chakra, covering all the lower chakras. Thie 'naval chakra' or Tan Tien, is where the 'reverse rotation' twisting begins to choke, then sever the 'Higher Self' from the 'lower self' and eventually completely severs that connection. This topic is covered elsewhere.) I am very pleased with my gym experience today. I have found what I think is best for me at this time, and that is the rowing machine, and a couple of weight training equipment exercises. It all felt very do-able and no matter that the handweights I use are pathetic, at least I am doing it. The local people who joined the gyme when it opened here 11 years ago are very dedicated to being gym junkies. Really dedicated and enthusiastic. I am glad I did join for 6 months, and I think I will go 3 times a week plus my dance class. I have to establish a programme as the best way to do the best I can. I always think I don't want to go to the gym, but I eventually get there, and I will do this. I have this pretty much worked out now, and I will be trying the 'pumpkin scrub' as part of that programme next week. It is important for the blood circulation and the lymph circulation, and my chosen spa for this is the Chitta Spa. This place was really excellent for the Khmer Traditional massage - which is the fully clothed one that stretches and pulls you about! This really helped, and I will do this each week too. Probably mostly at the Chitta Spa, but I also have 3 other good places to use. This is not the ideal place for buying clothes, and yet my gym pants for $11 are excellent. I now have two pairs and will see what else might be good from this big H & M style of shop. H & M is cheap, and I never buy anything from there. However, this place is actually much better than that, but with Cambodian prices. Not necessarily great fashion but there are always a few pieces which are good to get. The last clothes I bought were the Japanese skirts in Hanoi which I don't absolutely love, unless they are worn with boots. I want to get away from those skirts as no-one wears boots in this weather. The pants are a surprise good buy. Siem Reap is not the place for stylish fashion shopping or gym gear. It is the place for ambience and a good lifestyle. Down by the riverside is the best, and it is a very pretty river. The 'trashy tourists' keep to the Pub Street area, which is also nice with some good places, but there are also very good places on both sides of the river, but with a nice, peaceful but I would say special kind of energy. They still have all the good music at some of the places, but it is more relaxed along the riverside. I really love it.
14th Will add more soon. Really the 'best for everything' hotels in Siem Reap. is to go to the French-Khmer ones. The western hotels are nice but with western prices, but the French Khmer hotels like the Prince d'Angkor have all the individual style of the French Khmer culture, its a 5 star hotel, and it seems to be under $50 a night. Prince d'Angkor Hotel. Gallery (press on 'All Gallery'). Watch 4 mins. I am going to go back there soon to the Pool Bar which is the main one open at night apparently, but it did look very nice, and it doesn't mean alcoholic drinks, it's just a cafe out by the pool area. I think it deserves another featured mention! I didn't make it to my one minute gym workout, mainly because of following the 'Adventures of Donald Trump' as he tries to bomb Iran again. 13th. Now I am an actual gym member, as opposed to being someone who had a two month gym pass, I am going to the gym on Tuesday to do about 1 minute of exercise on some machines and with the weights. I am going to see what I am likely to be able to do. Siem Reap is not the place for clothes shopping, but today I found some pants that are okay for my dance class and for the gym. I don't wear the lycra gym stuff. I wear, maybe a lycra gym top, but I Iike 'dance pants' which means fairly wide, baggy full length things. I looked round a shop we have here, which is about the same as H & M (cheap) and surprisingly found something. The interesting thing is that there was a discount and they cost $11USD. (I have since bought another pair!) They should be fine for what I want, although not as baggy as I wanted. I will do more reports on the spas, today's facial was good. And I have a few things planned for this week. It is my birthday week! I definitely have a level of improvement with the spine issue, and I can walk very well for a 'reasonable' distance - and that is definitely an improvement. Although that distance is quite short and may not be all that 'reasonable'. The 'untwisting' of the reverse rotation is now mostly at my legs. This is a topic I will be reporting on in a different section. (The 'untwisting' comes from an 'atlas correction' and the atlas is at the very top of the spine. I have covered this on the other page. Had I known I was doing this at the time, I would not have done it. Some of it is the same as breaking your back. However, you can see from the picture and from my description of some experiences, that the 'untwisting' has moved down from the top to now at the leg joints.) |
When I checked the website, the place does not look anything like what it now looks like, and whatever it looked like before is not interesting. They also say they have been open for about 5 years so maybe they redid all the downstairs restaurant/cafe area and that is what I saw last year. The picture is what part of it does look like now. *There is more to this place which I haven't looked at yet. 
For the dance class, I did better in a progressive sort of way. It progressively improves. I have even begun to add some of my own style to the dances. That means the dance expression from how I feel the music. But it was good to do. The class is mainly reggaeton, and hip hop. 
This is the hotel.
