Quick word about Phnom Penh.
Basically what we saw was a few restaurants, few bars and then the killing fields and S-21 prison aka the genoside museum. So I'll write about the killing fields and the prison. Really unbelievably sick stuff, millions of people tortured and murdered, their skulls, other ones and clothes still there, placed in a memorial stupa. Actualy I don't really know what to say, other than seeing all that really shocked and touched me. And made me physically ill. Maybe i'll put a few wikipedia links here for information, that'll be better.

This is how lazy I've become.
Anyway, now in Sihanoukville with Amos. Gili and Yaron were here too but they left for Bamboo Island this morning. Amos and I will head there tomorrow as well. Probably there'll be even less blogging from there, since we plan to do nothing but lay in hammocks, swim, read and eat (cheaply). That's what we've been doing here too, so not too much to say other that the nearby beach is nice and they have quite an active nightlife here. And too many people bothering you asking if you want manicure or sunglasses, or whatever, and of course beggars. Hope there'll be less of those on Bamboo island. If not, we'll take a boat to another one. There are plenty islands to go around here:)
