Some time for an update

Okay, I now have some time to finally update things.

I will start with Siem Riep. This is the city where all those ruins are. I've been here twice so it's pretty fun but you can only see the ruins so many times. So this time around I wanted to make sure my experiences were new and refreshing and boy were they! First we went to Phnom Khulen (Phnom means mountain) so yes, we went to a mountain. But this place was many centuries ago the King's playground, there is a river call the River of 1000 lingas (lingas is a symbolic representation of the god siva, i think and it's basically a phallic symbol) there are a bunch of these round rock formations actually carved on the rock bed beneath the river. There is also a formation, a big rock one which is about 100 feet plus above that has a buddha carved in it, as well as other carvings and caves, it's fun, although i'm really tired of giving offerings of incense that require me to kneel too often, it's doing wonders on my leg that is wrapped up. As we came down from that buddha relic the rain started to fall, and by fall, pour, but i was determined to play in the waterfall and take pictures. Eventhough my leg has a huge open wound, i would climb boulders to get a good shot, and boy was it worth it. When my net is better you'll all be priveleged to see some awesome pics.

So here is some information you don't need. When you have only one pair of clothes to wear, the last thing you want to do is get in dirty murky water... and I am reeping the so called benefit of it.

Another great experience, traveling from Siem Riep to Battambang there is really no paved road and we had to rent a taxi. Well, the car we got was a euro car, right side steering wheel and i was the passenger. The thing about driving in cambodia though is there are no rules and you pass people on the left like crazy.... problem is... THE DRIVER IS ON THE RIGHT. Added with the rain pouring down so the windshield, which was cracked so you can't see, and then cars coming at me... i decided to do the one thing i know best.. no not pray.... sleep... and boy did i ever... but i didn't recline my chair and i had gum in my mouth... end result.. my shirt wasn't just wet from sweat... yes... i felt like a 3 year old without a bib.

When I woke up, my mouth was so parched and I felt so lost... I think the driver saw me with my head slumped over and probably though I was "special" I didn't really speak a single word so maybe I was mute.

Man, it's hot, and my Final Fantasy Crisis Core is calling me. When I get some time I'll post pics and inform you more about my other experiences.. Especially my second encounter with whiskey that I lost.

Until then. Pray for me.

BTW, it's really annoying when random girls (with some scary grills) check you out and then guys do as well. Anyhow. I'm out!
