After the whistle stop tour of Laos and Cambodia, taking in a couple of the most amazing sights that Asia has to offer and spending some quality time with my new friends, it was time to move on and split up. Ludo had decided that he would like to check out some of the beaches that Cambodia had to offer and so headed off to Sihanoukville.

These sounded pretty good to me and so after breakfast I introduced myself to Julie (that was her name) and asked if I could tag along. My introduction to the city was actually quite a tame and cul...
