I think was the most spontaneous decision I've made so far. Nobody had to talk me into it. It was suggested to me at 02:00am and 8 hours later I woke the pigs up, ''hey guys, Im off to Cambodia.. see you around!"
My travel plans was to speed through to Siemreap to admire the famous Angkor Wat. Speed through to Phnom Penh and check the killing fields and then speed to Sihanoukville. Why speed? The built up tension of utmost desire, to finally run across a beach of squeaking. white sand and dive through a wave into the clear, warm, turquoise water of a tropical sea, was killing me!

So from the Lao border onwards it was quite a hassle. I dont really remember how many times I switched buses, argued over money, got ripped off so eventually I ended up laughing at the mess. Whenever I asked why something was happening the friendly Cambodians would answer, "T.I.C. - This is Cambodia" Reminded me of the movie Blood Diamond: T.I,A.
At some point though a huge double-decker-ultra-VIP bus popped out of nowhere when I was supposed to be stranded and carried me of to my first destination. I do wish I had informed my self more about the temples of Angkor because they were absolutely amazing and would have been even more so had I read up about them! Its a vast complex that spreads over tens of kilometers, each temple having its own unique style and architecture. Why doesnt anyone build anything as awe-inspiring anymore?
Even though I only spent a day there I really liked Siemreap. It had a very friendly feeling about it and I met quite a few interesting people, tourist s as well as cambodians.

I arrived in Phnom Penh at about noon the next day and spent the day just lazing around in a Guesthouse called top banana. Don Det hasnt worn off yet so Im not used to all the running around.
I visited the killing fields just outside the city and went on to the infamous torture prison which is now S21 museum. Both provided a raw and ugly insight into the all to recent history of Cambodia under Pol Pot's reign.

Ive now been in Sihanoukville for four days.. I think, and although the feeling I get about this place is very neutral, I must say Im enjoying. You can find me on the beach or in the sea at almost any time of the day and during the night, the parties go on till we drop down after drunken games of beach football. Weekdays dont matter coz every night theres just as many people partying. Im staying at a place called Chivas Shack which is primarily a Cambodian party place. My little room is directly above the dancefloor so I can forget sleeping. Its so funny coz when the neighbouring bars are opening up we are still at full swing! Tonights my last night there though. Tomorrow I start work as a bartender in the more touristy Nap House, which despite its name is a big party place too. I get the benefit of free accomodation, as much booze as I can drink at any time and free food. No money.

So for now Ill be hanging out here until my visa expires and then I guess Ill head towards Thailand. Ill update this blog-post every now and again with pictures or some crazy story so check up every now and again ;)
