Hi lovelies, Happy New Year to all of you out there. My year started of quite rough..I received 3 bad news-all different and unrelated..sheesh so much for 'I hope 2013 is the best one yet' . Oh well. I was going to talk about my 'Big Chop' in this post, yes I chopped of all my hair 2 days before the end of last year. And  I am now rocking a TWA (Teeny weeny Afro) lol and I absolutely love it. Other than that I'm back to work now-it's so good to see my little pumpkins..some of them stared at me for quite a while all confused...lol. I bet I look quite different to them.

Many people have asked me why I did it, and I did for several very personal reasons. One of them being ..a change is always good. Ill def not go into the other reasons. It was a scary (brave) thing to do lol, I was scared id look all weird haha..anyho..I have some pictures of how my hair was before the Big Chop (rubbing hands together).I have ALOT of hair people..well I had..no I still have..like alot of hair, allover my head. Well Ill just put the pics up and let you see what I mean..lol.

Racism in Cambodia.

Follow my Instagram  maggie_hon for snippets of my life in Cambodia and some of my travel adventures. Black people are discriminated against generally in all of Asia. I have heard horror stories from China, Hong Kong, Thailand etc. Black Africans experience the worst kind of racism in these countries. I have personally experienced racism in so many aspects of my life here in Cambodia and I will talk about it here for two reasons. 1) To spread awareness and 2) It is the issue I get asked most about in emails. 1. Visa on arrival at the Phnom Penh International Airport. Cambodia is one of the easiest countries to enter. Majority of passport holders do not need to have a visa before hand, Kenya (and many other African countrues) included. One just needs to apply for a business or tourist visa on arrival at the airport when they land. A tourist visa costs $30 and a business visa slightly more.  BUT  if you are an African passport holder, the immigration at the Phnom Penh International

Hello lovelies,today I want to share some of the most instagrammable places in Cambodia (that is not Angkor Wat), for the everyday person like me who does not have big professional cameras, drones and other fancy equipment haha. Checkout my Instagram  maggie_hon  I am very active on there. 1. Swimming pools In Phnom Penh, many hotels will allow you to use their pools if you spend a certain amount of money on food and beverage. Some of the nicer hotels will have a charge to use the pool. Here are some of my favorite pools. Plantation DM me on IG for the name of this location. This one too The Kabiki 2. The beach Cambodia has some amazing beaches and islands. Some of my fave pics are: Otres beach 3. Islands My favorite island is Koh rong Samloem island.

Follow my Instagram  maggie_hon for snippets of my life in Cambodia and some of my travel adventures. Hey lovelies, so I will write a couple of late posts that I should have written a million months ago. Late last year I got to go to Malaysia for a weekend getaway with two of my girlfriends and we had so much fun.  My girlfriends I absolutely love African food and African music and I know there is a big African community in Kuala Lumpur, and where there’s an African community, there is bound to be a couple of African Restaurants. And by African restaurants I really mean Nigerian Restaurants :D See in any African Expat community, Nigerians always make up the majority, so in any given country there’s bound to be a couple of Nigerian Restaurants, bars and clubs where Nigerian expats converge, eat Nigerian food and listen to Nigerian music. I love Nigerian food and music and so do a lot of other Africans and people from all over the world. So the first thing I did when planning thi
