RE: An afternoon with the kids at Brisbane's Southbank Cultural Centre
Thanks @mumma-monza Cambodia seems a big step from Brisbane! What took you there?

Initially, we decided to head off for a year travelling. Once we arrived in Cambodia we fell in love. The people are so lovely and the slow pace of life appealed to all of us. Very soon after we feel into buying a tapas bar and being a teacher I found work at an International School. The children still love it here and to be honest the idea of ever returning home now is just as daunting as our inital decision to sell up everything and begin our travels.
At times I do wonder if my children are really missing out on anything living abroad in a third world country, but when I read news stories from home I am thankful on our decision. My 2 oldest children 15 and 13 will be flying back home alone in 2 weeks to visit family, I am nervous but excited of the opportunity for them. I know they will most definitely appreciated every minute of it :)
Wow, that's quite a journey! I think as long as kids are loved and respected (as children), they'll be fine wherever they are. I had a job opportunity in Bangkok, but didn't take it. It would have been a very different life. If I ever make it to Cambodia I'll have to track down your tapas bar :-)
Following now to watch your journey.
