Hi everyone! Here a short message from Phnom-Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Sihanoukville, the beach-town in the south of Cambodia, turned out to be a really nice place, so I stayed there for five days together with an thai/cambodian girl that I met on the boat. After that I went 100 km eastwards to Kampot, where I did some sightseeing and travelled to an abandoned french colonial town (with hotel/casino/church) in Bokor national park.
Still a little bit sick from my journey to Sihanoukville, Cambodja I’ll tell you where I have been the last week. Ofcourse .. the full-moon party. Or actually, it was more the day-after-full- moon-party. Because on full-moon (5th december, sinterklaasavond) it was the birthday of the King. And because of respect for the king the bars on the beach were closed, and no liquor was sold… Not a good ground for a big party and quite the opposite of queens-day in the Netherlands!
Well, after saying goodbye to some people from the volunteer project in Bangkok (along with a drink), there has been a lot of traveling. Along with two guys, Tim and Berry, I went to the southern part of Thailand. And visited four very different places in four days.. After Bangkok we didn’t knew exactly where to go to. I am known for being a bad long-term planner, and it seems that I am not the only one that is cursed by this :) So we went to the southern bus station of Bangkok and selected a place to go there.
Back in hot Bangkok. The flash card of my photocamera is accidentally erased, so while i’m recovering it gives me some time to write a new item. I’m writing in english now because, well, there are some people that I have met that do not speak dutch and I still want them to be able to read my blog. So as a true cosmopolitan I decided to switch to English, I expect this will be no problem for the dutch readers.
Okay, so today I had to wait some time before the bus leaves to Bangkok tonight. That gave me the chance to catch up with the worldnews. A short list: 1. I’m glad that after Boten Anna, the remix of Gebroeders Ko people still need yet another version: ‘Sinterklaas Boot’ has entered the top 40.. 2. I wasn’t that dissapointed that I couldn’t vote for the new parliament, I find it very hard to make a choice between the parties.
