Photos taken by diabolical in Cambodia

My UNIAP Farewell Party

Vanna's son, Thavika, made me this at school...Khmers have this cute custom of making present giving a very formal ceremony with each present requiring a separate photo...I have about 10 photos with each UNIAP staff member handing me a present!

Our very own Cambodian wedding shots ;) Beth, Di, Jacks, Deb and Mitch

It's a tradition (believe it or not!) on the occasion of your wedding to go and get these garish shots...wedding or not, seeing as I was leaving town the crew decided we would go subject ourselves to 4 hours of Cambodian dress-ups and maximum Photoshop-bang-for-your-buck! So here we are...in an exciting collection of 80s-inspired hairstyles and tasteful backdrops...with our very own 19th century Colonel Mitchell straight from exploring Cambodia astride an elephant...apparently we are hanging in the photo studio to the delight of giggling Cambodians as living proof of how crazy those barangs can be ;)

My personal favourite...Deb, Di, Jackie and Beth

Please note the backward-Siem Reap postcard onto which we have been photoshopped...and our gorgeous hair, ranging from attaching rats to Beth, Jackie and my heads and Deb's 'deb' hair 80s style (no pun intended ;)

Tribal graves, Ratanakiri, Cambodia

Upon the death of a family member, relatives would (and still do) create an effigy of the dead formerly in elephant tusk but today in wood - and create a colourful grave within the jungle as shown
