It really felt like commuting this time, a never ending Groundhog Day lasting into a three day trawl across the globe. First part was fine, a lift to Heathrow and a smooth overnight ride to Dubai. Onbound then to Kuala Lumpar, where the fun really started. I am travelling with two large four foot long boxes, containing five-a-side goalposts, given courtesy of Brighton and Hove Albion Supporters Club and the Robert Eaton Memorial Fund, add my rucksack and hand luggage and I am in need of a bit of assistance.

Having finally found the transit bus to my hotel (time now 23.15) I was refused space for the goals and promised another bus in 10 minutes. Half an hour later another big crowd was waiting, but good news the nets got on, but I didn't. Having got on the bus there were no seats left and I was escorted off, in fairness the driver took me to a minivan which was to follow behind. Off we went coach in front, boot wide open, nets fully visible hanging out the back. My van behind, which then managed to overtake allowing me to get to hotel check in first - just as well with 50 people behind and one member of staff checking in. I managed a princely four hours rest before heading back to the airport at 04.30am.

Once there of course, in the Asian Easyjet section, it was hard work finding the flight. Having sat in the check in queue for 30 minutes I found out I should have security checked my bags first, I hadn't, and the clock was ticking with a big queue behind me. I managed to convince some poor Japanese girl to hold my place and thanks to her help managed to get to Siem Reap after a 36 hour journey.

Thus yesterday I unpacked the nets in front of 35 very excited children, who carried their prizes into the next door field and played for the rest of day before being dragged out at sunset. Samba Sports who had supplied the goals threw in a couple of proper footballs as well, allowing the girls to have their own game in the background. With enough money in the donation kitty it will be off to the market soon for some soccer kit to complete the effect.
