angelina and her sidekick sambeth bo...

well my passport is quickly filling up...
today marks the 9th country of our journey so far...
everywhere we go the countries keep getting better and better and Cambodia is no exception.

we left saigon this morning at 8 am, circled around the block for about an hour picking up more stragglers and then went on our merry way.
the travel agent told us it was a 6 hour ride in total...that included stops and going through customs, getting everything stamped etc...
well if that were true we would have been here 4 and a half hours ago...
and of course i got sick approximately 15 minutes before our bus was set to leave.
i won't bore you with bus stories, we got here safely, 10 1/2 hours later and so far i am loving this place.

we have spent $3 dollars each in the last hour and that includes our guest house for a night AND dinner...it's really really cheap here...
we're staying right on the lake, our guest house is sooooo dope-hammocks all over the place, Christmas lights are up and it's all built on top of part of the lake...just a really cool, laid back atmosphere.
speaking of dope, we were already offered large quantities of weed at least 4 times in an hour and pizzas can be made "happy" for only a dollar, so crazy...

the only thing so far that i haven't enjoyed is the CONSTANT bombardment of locals trying to sell you crap.
there are little mini sambethe bo's running around pant-less trying to sell photocopied books or postcards. the kids are unbelievably cute, but i'm not interested.

tomorrow we're gonna go to the killing fields, and a shooting range to shoot a cow possibly, as well as the national museum and the silver pagoda....should be a fun day!

well,it's been a long day and by bum is sore from sitting so much, so i'm outta here.

love love love
fritz.
