A Few Days... A few Dollars Saved. 12/29/2011
0 Comments
 

      Having decided that I wanted to spend New Years on the island of Koh Rong near Sihanoukville I've spent the past few days just hanging out. For the past two days I've spent the afternoon around the guesthouse lobby eating and watching films in the lobby. Then in the evening taking a nice stroll along the river and basking in the cool breeze. Theres alot worse ways you can spend a few lazy days. During on afternoon I grabbed some photos of things in the guesthouse that I find pretty amusing. Paying here uses trust and you write your bill in your room book. On the sign it actually says "In God We Trust" as if that will make tourists be honest lol. Then theres the rooms rules which cover everything from making sure prostitutes check in at the desk and leave there ID for your safety all the way to drugs and luggage. Pretty funny.

      The evenings lately have been great drinking with a group of 4 from Belgium who were one very long trips. Sharing stories and the normal drunk gossip made for a great night. Did the same the next night but we were joined by a girl from china who made for some interesting convo herself. Lots of talk about banned facebook and chinas version of it that can be sensored etc. The night was in full swing when something just nostalgic happened... They played "Babys Day Out" on the guesthouse TV! Havn't seen that movie since I was maybe 9 on VHS and here it was playing on a flat screen in Cambodia... so random but it absolutely made my night.

      Today I'm hoping to do about the same. Not very interesting or thrilling but had to be done. The way money is right now without some down time I wouldn't be able to do the nice things I have lined up over the next few days.
