One of my most favorite places in #PhnomPenh which, sadly, has closed down due to the pandemic and the rent being raised 😞 #NatarajYogaStudio was a lovely little #oasis in the middle of the city.

Me moments before falling flat on my back while waiting for the ferry to #vungtau earlier in the year 😅 Not really, just carrying on like a knob as someone pointed out to me on my YT channel recently, to get your attention 😆

The building behind me is the Bitexco Tower in downtown #hochiminhcity

When I first arrived here to live, it was about to be topped out & there was a crane still on it.

These days it's the 2nd tallest building in HCMC.

As you can see, there's a helipad attached to it & I'm told it's impossible to land a chopper on it because 1) HCMC is still a no-fly zone, and 2) it's just physically impossible for reasons I'm too dumb to explain.

Another interesting thing is that, even though everyone involved in its construction knew it would never be used as a helipad, there's actually a small boarding/ departure lounge and bar with plush seats etc looking out over the pad 😆

Pleasantly surprised that this little foray turned out so well - as far as I'm concerned 😂. Maybe the clue to all this is just to chill the f*ck out, jump right in and have a ball while at it 💃🥳
