Considering their wedding cost over $20,000 and took a year and a half to organize, you would be
surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it. Wel , almost.
"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria. "But we have so much we want to
do together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband, banker and amateur race driver
Richard, agrees. "Both our minds are now 昀椀 xed 昀椀 rmly on the future. I'll never forget our
wedding ceremony or the recep 琀椀 on we had at a cli 昀昀-side hotel a 昀琀 erwards, but there's
so much we want, so many hopes. Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."
"At the moment, we are s 琀椀 l living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our 昀椀 rst wish
is to 昀椀 nd our own place. We intend to start looking for a new house with al the modern
conveniences in the suburbs in the new year." Both Victoria and husband Richard have a lot of
siblings. Do they intend to add to the extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or
three children ourselves," Richard tel s me. "Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can
get 3 years paternity leave from my work, which is just perfect."
The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an authen 琀椀 c Sco 琀 sh
castle. Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this wil con 琀椀 nue. "I would like to
go travel ing as much as possible together. Travel ing with someone else is such a sharing experience. I
think it's sad to experience al the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there." Victoria
also has another great travel ambi 琀椀 on that she might have to do alone. "I have always been
fascinated by safari and my real wish is to go on safari. Richard has no interest in wildlife though."
And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how do Richard
and Victoria hope to avoid al the problems that beset so many other couples? Richard
explains though 琀昀 ul y that "our ambi 琀椀 on is to always talk to each other. If you stop
communica 琀椀 ng, what chance do you have?" His wife goes along with that completely. "I
hope that we can speak about things, but also not expect everything to be easy. I think many
people expect the wedding to be the end of ge 琀 ng to know each other. I think it's the start."

The building company Hong Kong Housing is building a new suburb in Shanghai, a city with a

Shanghai. It is a li 琀琀 le piece of England. The name of the new area is "English Town". The
manager of Hong Kong Housing, Shi Guangsheng, says many people in this area of China
want to buy an English house and live in an English town.
"This town is like Bristol or Chester. There is an English square and there are pigeons to feed
like in Trafalgar Square, London. There are four English-style pubs and you can buy English
beer to drink. There is a canal and you can row a boat there like in Cambridge."
Are there any cricket 昀椀 elds? "No, there aren't any places to play cricket because nobody in
Shanghai can play this game. But there is a footbal stadium like those in England. And the
thing we are very proud of is our shopping street. There are several shops where you can buy
tradi 琀椀 onal English food like 昀椀 sh and chips or Christmas Pudding."
The rich Shanghai businessman can do some gardening too. For with every house in "English

But there is one problem. The houses in this part of town cost a minimum of $400,000!

Siem Reap is a smal town near the world famous temple of Angkor Wat. The town is charming
and worth exploring, with some 昀椀 ne examples of Khmer and French colonial architecture
set among the more modern developments. Nowadays, visitors are 昀氀 ocking in, using it as a
base for visits to the nearby temples.
From the 9th to the 14th centuries, when Europe was s 琀椀 l struggling out of the Dark Ages, the
Cambodian Empire of Angkor covered most of present-day Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand.
The heart of this empire during the 12th century was the ancient capital of Angkor Thom, near present
day Siem Reap, the site of the world’s largest temple complexes, which were rediscovered in 1861.This
spectacular city was built over 30 years under the reign of King Suryavarman II (1113-1150). The area
covers about 400 square kilometres and is ful of the 昀椀 nest examples of Khmer art and architecture.
Tourists are always amazed at the scale of the place.
In Angkor Wat you wil 昀椀 nd more than 100 stone monuments and temple buildings, each of
which contains countless statues, sculptures and reliefs that have weathered extremely li 琀琀
le over the last 800 years. To see the whole thing can take several days. The most important
temples to visit in the area are Angkor Wat, especially at sunrise or sunset; Angkor Thom, the
remains of the capital; Ta Prohm, a palace overgrown by jungle; and Bayon.
Visas are required to enter Cambodia. You can obtain one on arrival at Siem Reap Interna 琀椀

passport photo for the Angkor Temple Entrance Pass. Please ensure you take comfortable
