We just got back from a week's holiday in Bali. Cambodia was celebrating Water Festival and the population of Phnom Penh doubled from 2 million to 4 million! It would have been great to share in the festival but the Global Citizens Conference in Bali presented an opportunity to holiday and acquire some PD so we made our way to Indonesia for the break. The pictures speak for themselves. We spent our first three nights in a place called "Temple Lodge" in Nusa Dua. 
It is owned by an Italian couple: she is a health conscious individual who cooked the most fabulous and nutritious meals (we also attended one of her morning yoga sessions) and he is a 60 year old surfer who loves to bring harmony and balance between nature and the lodge.
Our room was something else and the view was unbelievable! As for the conference, it inspired us and reinforced our strong belief that teachers today need to educate our students to become informed, purposeful and active global citizens. Of course, living in Phnom Penh is more convincing than any conference will ever be (read our entry below to learn more).
The school is almost entirely made out of bamboo and has virtually no ecological footprint. It was very cool indeed!So if you have not yet read our Phnom Penh update, please take a moment to do so. We'll see you all at Christmas!!!
