Cambodge...
Unfortunately, Cambodia is one of those places that is really tough to put into words. I mean, Angelina loved it here, so it can't be all bad. Whatever the case, I have been bumming photos since mine was stolen... so hopefully the photos will speak for themselves. Here's a quick rundown:Phnom Penh:
I went to the killing fields and the war museum the first day. Both were amazing. The second day Tara Lee, Jess, Kristin and I went to an orphanage on the outskirts of down. We brought big bags of rice, toys, pens and paper and combs. We got to play with the kids for a couple of hours. Instead of being depressing in the least bit, it was an amazing day. The kids seemed really happy and healthy, they loved practicing their English, and seemed really happy with all the stuff we brought them. I have to get the pics off of the girls' cameras.
Siem Reap:Angkor Wat was huge and amazing... No signs of Angelina. Will post all the pics when I get them. Other than that, Siem Reap is a cool city... but, doesn't have the charm of Phnom Penh. It is also much more expensive and there are too many icky tour groups everywhere cramping the style of everyone around them. Siem Reap has a pretty happening night life, which we have taken full advantage of. Angkor What? is this magical place where they fill a huge bucket with vodka and add a little mix. Catherine has been the biggest victim of these buckets. She's been sent home early on more than one occasion, and she also "explored" her sexuality on the dance floor. Happy to say, I also have pics of that.
Tomorrow we are taking the dreaded bus trip to Bangkok. My birthday is coming up and it looks like it is going to turn into quite a party. I have amassed a pretty big group and they're all looking forward to a night out on the town in Bangkok (of course going to a bar which suits me). Oh! and most exciting of all, I am meeting Sarah in Bangkok on November 30th. Sarah and I spent every waking moment together for my first 365 days in Korea. I haven't seen her since March and there is no better place for a reunion of two besties than Patpong.
