TUESDAY 9TH JANUARY 2007 Got bus to Phnom Penh & stayed at Number 9 guesthouse (yet again another of Jay's mint finds). Its right on the lake - its lovely (even if the bathrooms are a bit dodge). Took a walk to Tonle sap river which would have been a really nice promenade if it wasn't for all the heavy traffic alongside it. Gaz got a massage but oily hands dont appeal to me so i passed. Went to the arts and craft market which was basically just fortu...

Gaz failed to see the work that had gone into them & their way of life at the time of building. One line of his was "why don't they just knock them all down and rebuild them?" - now do u see wot i have to deal with lol. Any1 who wants to come on any future cultural excursions please step up! Anyways h...

SATURDAY 30TH DECEMBER 2006 Took a 12 hour local bus ride to Siem Reap.Kym managed to land on her feet, sitting nxt to a local woman who educated and fed her all the way where I was stuck next to a French guy who said barely 5 words. When we got to the other end there were loads of tuk tuk drivers waitin on the other side of this gate.Was crazy!When it got opened they ran at us like madmen.! Got a lift with 'Mr Lucky' to our guesthouse, just in time to...
