Cambodia

Two years ago, I was denied entry into this country due to a "random" selection on Semester at Sea Fall 2005. I blame the government, global warming and India. Today, after waking up at 420 AM, taking a 4 hours bus, 2 hour border crossing and 3 hour taxi ride, I arrived in this hidden country. Exhausted. The bus was good, except for the 2 thai girls and one thai guy that started to vomit on the floor. The border crossing went smoothly, ignoring the fact visa's are 20 bucks and making you pay 33. The taxi ride was ok, from the mafia, who drives 60 mph on a dirt road littered with potholes, turned, construction, chunks of rock and cement, 1000 bikes and moto's with dead pigs hanging off the back... it was a long day....

But we're in Cambodia! Bet Chase is jealous. We plan do do a all day sunrise to sunset ankgor wat temple exploration tomorrow. look into buying tons of fake merchandise, and eat for 1-2 bucks a meal. good times. We left out house in hua hin, retirement capital of Thailand, and went to BKK for two nights, saying goodbye to our Canadian friends and out Ennglish friend we'd been traveling with for 2 weeks. We met up with an old TEFL friend at his new apartment, which was great with 16th story views of BKK skyline.

Other than that, I got a call from Shelley, which was great. Hope all the family is doing well, hope mom got my text for her anniversary. ok, more later
