Ja m'appelle, I made me way to Kampot today where I'll spend the night then tomoro I'll be off to Battambang. I spent bout 5 days in Kep and was ready to jog on to another place. I found out Tuesday that I enter Vietnam earlier too which was a heart droppin moment as visas are a big thing there and you can't get one on the border like Laos or Cambodia and mine I got in January wasn't valid till later! Basically on the 18th of May I do the North Vietnam experience tour with a company called extreme gap and the Asia explorer tour with a company called stray who transport you around which I was led to believe was Laos and Cambodia but turns out also do a bit of South Vietnam as well which is quality as I get to see more than I thort but at the time I was doin me visa stuff I double checked that the visa date I applied for was correct and the bird said yeah yeah all good but I reckon she was noshin a bag of monster munch off and readin Heat magazine at the time and wasn't payin much attention as I enter on the 1st of May as part of the Asia explorer tour so I had to get another visa to cover from earlier as mine was a month valid from 18th! For this I had two choices, either get a 3 hour bus to sihanoukville at 7:30 in the morning on the Wednesday gone which would cost $60 for the visa and $8 for the bus there, get my visa within 15 mins but have to stay the night somewhere for bout $12 as only 1 bus a day, then get the bus back again the next day another $8 which comes to $88, or the second option hand your passport over to some geezer in the guesthouse who says he can get it there and back in 3 days for $70, Which meant it would be back on the Thursday ready for me to leave Friday, I said will it definitely be back for the thur as I got a bus to catch 9am Friday and he said yeah so I decided to go for the second option but of corse there are no bloody ATM's in Kep so I had to get the bloke to lend me his chopper and make my way to Kampot to get cash out from a bank ATM it was a mission but it worked out cushty! I was a bit nervous goin to collect it last night tho, I was thinkin I know this blokes gonna say sorry it ain't back yet or it got lost or I need more dosh but the geezer was a man of his words and done the job. I still needed the visa I brought originally so it wasn't wasted money it's just if I'd have known at the time I'd have got a 3 month visa but to be fair it was more than double price at home to get it so this worked out cheaper. Also some moany b****** complained bout our lovely 12 hour sauna coach journey and they gave people some dosh back, I was one of them raheey so I will spend it wisely, on beer. I met this Italian geezer that got a bar here he was a right character. We was sat havin a beer and he called this bird over who worked for him and said Sophie you want siesta now? She said no I go to beach to get food. He say ok. She came back with a red fruit drink for him and her and a spicy noodle lunch for herself. She say to her boss you try he said is it hot, she said no so he tried it and after a few seconds he blew up like out of the cartoons where the smoke comes out their ears haha he say Mama Mia Sophie what you do, soo hot, why would you do Sophie haha, after bout 5 mins of smashin water down him he cooled down. She said to me do I wanna try so I said yeah I'll see what the fuss is about, Jesus near on closed me throat and popped me eyes out their socket, my lips were on fire and he started laughing still pantin and sweatin sayin mamma Mia then at the end when she finished it her eyes were waterin and she was laffin he said look she have same problem. Which led him to tellin a story bout the time he went to the toilet and as he was washin his hands he said oi yoy oi I knew somethin was wrong then ohhh my little brother (his bits) was on fire then he said "then I realise I cut chillis up before I go toilet woah i really nearly cried" he said haha he was a smashin bloke. He recently started a Restaraunt/bar up here in Kep as he said Italy was down the swanny and was muggin him off, he worked in a restaraunt out there and played the clarinet in a classical band for a second job, he was being taxed 62%! He said farmers get taxed 57% as well which is a joke. So he jacked his life in and him and his missus came to set up here. I'll be in Phnom Penh again next week for 2 days and am goin to a gun range quarry. I'm gonna hopefully have a go and shoot a rocket launcher and ak47! They sell cows there aswel and you can guess what for haha! But I heard they're expensive cows so I'll leave them be, Im already goin down for me duck murder. How's everyone back in England then I ain't gettin much feedback on here are you all still alive? Catch ya laters, guitar hero.
