snooky
Before we arrived from Vietnam, people told us that Cambodia was pretty 'Same Same' to 'nam. But it seems pretty different to me, and almost reminds me of Nepal a bit. Everyones skin tone is much darker, and the laws are all much more laid back here. Which is nice. However, prices have gone slightly up since we've stopped moving from the beach. Speaking to a few people, we've found many have come here, and just not left. The french hippie who runs our beach bungalow says he's been here for a year now. It seems like a pretty good job, the only difference between the daily events of us and him is that he has to pour the beers.
russian market in phnom penh. not russian at all, but the locals dont call it this anyway. we expected lots of russians really drunk smashing glasses and selling only vodka, but Communism is pretty out in cambodia at the moment.
Weather hasn't been too fantastic in Cambodia yet, here at the beach its pretty stormy, but like all of south east asia so far, the rain never lasts more than about 20 minutes. And although there's a bit of a lack of sun, the humidity keeps us warm in the sea. Which is also warm enough to run straight into, something i could never really keep up with Lucy and Max in doing in England.
The day after tomorrow, we (attempt to) get off the beach and head up to Siem Reap, do some more touristy things there for a day, then get into Thailand and meet old friends sam, bernie and oonagh. It seems like we havent spent enough time in Cambodia really, everyone is very smiley here and the beach is great place to meet people, as from 9am onwards we've seen great groups of people dancing outside their bungalows.
Will try and get some photos up soon. ish
Ish.

ish,ish,ish
does this stand for I should have
I def should have been a hippie, a french hippie sounds good, even I can pour beer. Wonder how the french hippie back in Nepal is getting on with his yurt building project? Your blogs get more laid back as the trip goes on, you must be permanently horizontal now, how's the japanese going, I'm listening to chinese as I type!! All about people being late (learning to tell the time!), nothing you need to be worrying too much about right now, sounds like everyone just does stuff when they need to do it, I could get into that way of living......
Looking forward to pics. Love to Sam Oonagh and Bernie, bet that will be some reunion!
Love from a would be backpacker, blogger Mum

PS I am sure all my word verifications could be put together to make a really interesting sentence. Today's is Plkgivy. Perhaps this is a new language in the making.
