Hotel Luxury World Phnom Penh

... a cool little temple. I say this purely because it had fairy lights round the buddha!!! hahaha!

Had dinner in a cool little Khmer place, and then we headed back to hostel. I'm getting bored of being a goody goody and not drinking - really not me! Mic thought she had bed bugs so asked to move beds in the hostel, I had some little friends in my bed but they didn't bite so I wasn't too bothered! I know some of you will read this ...

... in the circle that I can walk through and the crowd seemed adamant not to let me go.

The next thing I knew I broke through the cordon and ran for my life back to the hotel and looking back I saw there were some who were brave enough to chase me but gave up half-way.That was the fastest 300 m run I have done in my life.

Since then I have been very careful how and when to give.

Leaving for Siem Reap tomorrow.

The guide spent his time showing us the English signs then waiting for us to read them. At the end, I gave him $2, which is more than he deserved (remember, a draft beer in a local retaurant here is 50 cents so $2 is a good tip). He looked at the money, smirked and said "$2?! Cheap!" I was once again caught off guard and too shocked to respond. What i should've done is yank back the money to give it to the beggars outside. Instead, we went to the ...

... inside. I was also curious as to how expensive and how long it would take to have a few pages added to my passport. It sure is a good feeling seeing the stars and stripes. I talked with a man about the passport situation and I learned that it’s free and takes only a few hours. After that I was off to Stupa Penh, where I saw some of the craziest animal activity I’ve ever seen. Approaching the mound that is Stupa Penh, I could see monkeys running around. I first assumed ...

... wasn't a person in sight. I walked all around the house trying to remain calm and try not to rush to conclusions so I walked to the RTTC only a few minutes from the house and found Sothin in his office. I explained what happened and that I thought it might have been taken but asked if he could call Maan and come to the house with me. He couldn't reach Maan after several tries and asked the large group of teenagers next door if they had seen anything. After ...

... as academics, doctors, teachers, students, factory workers, monks and engineers. It was almost unbelievable that this happened so recently.

After that harrowing morning we went straight to the Killing Fields at Choeung Ek where mass graves containing thousands of Kymer Rouge victims were exterminated and buried. They rarely used guns, most people were killed by blunt instruments like hoes or iron bars. Families were also killed to avoid any retribution in years to ...

We've been in Phnom Penh for 3 days now and seen most of the sights. We're based around the lake which isn't the nicest of areas as its down a little side street that turns out to be the main street for the area. However it's backpacker central and all the Guesthouses are here and bars and such.
The first day we took it easy, going only to the National Museum and seeing even more relics from Angkor and some more recent Khemer history. All interesting stuff, then ...

• Good accent, must have learned English from watching episodes of The Mighty Boosh.
• Wore white socks, I was reminded of Applicant 1 and his revolutionary individualist ways. He scared me. I wrote him off as a possibility immediately.
• Held his keys for the ...
  Phnom Penh, Cambodia awfullook

Apart from the National Museum and the Royal Palace which I went to later with Johannes, I got up before him and had a traipse around the immediate locale of the city from where I was staying. A nearby temple looked attractive: grey, white and gold-plated; pleasant courtyards and pagodas made in the style of Angkor surrounded by tropical greenery. I saw a homeless guy sleeping contentedly on his back with his legs crossed on some stone steps. Apart from ...

... somethng that everyone has to see, theres a whole generation missing, a lot of hurt and anger and yet on the outside and back in PP you can see how people have built there lives up again. From there we headed back to PP the closer we got the lighter my mood although 7 months on its still with us and I know I havent written a lot about but i really dont think i could do it justice.
