Tired of travelling

I'm back in Singapore from Cambodia (and Netherlands and Hungary and Slovakia and Czech Republic and and and...) and I must say I'm sick of travelling.

Visiting Cambodia was eye-opening and very educational. I think I would have enjoyed it more I if wasn't already sick of travelling. Why? Because travelling's a pretty draining thing in the long run. At least it was for us. Travelling involves a lot of packing and unpacking whenever we moved to a new place. It also involves us walking about and exploring the area no matter rain or shine- because you only get to see the place once!

Anyway, by the time I got to Cambodia, all I really wanted was air-conditioning, my laptop and a good wireless connection. All right, a good coffee wouldn't be missed. I was in no fit state of mind to undertake any new country, much less a new third world country. (Also perhaps I had gotten so used to Europe that I wasn't ready for mud roads etc etc etc)

And the whole point of this post? To declare that I'm sick of museums, cathedrals, castles, fortresses, town views etc etc etc for the time being.
