Arrived in Phnom Penh not knowing where I was going to go. This French dude on the bus then suggested we go to the Lake where all the backpacker hostels were so we headed there and it was awesome. Loads of travellers, cool environment. STayed in Guesthouse Number 9, possibly the most chilled out relaxed place I've been to. Its right on the lake and although my room was pretty s***e the communal area was wicked. Met a guy called Arron and just smoked loads of weed, ate watched movies and chilled. Was only going to stay there for one night ended up staying 3 but could've stayed there for a long time.
Went to an orphanage the next day but the kids had gone home for some festival!! What type of orphanage is that?? ANyway there were a few sweet kids still there! Then my motorbike driver took me to the Killiung Fields. Didnt know anything about the Cambodian hoistory but asfter a quick read and a guide learned about the shocking regime of Pol Pots and saw where he murdered 2 million people in all sorts of henus ways! They were still teeth and bones in the soil where htey wash up aftyer it rains! There was a tree where they would kill babaies but holding their legs and swinging their heads against it! Anyway they had a temple there with skulls of 9000 peoiple of all ages!
Aftyer that thought I'd spend the day chilling and watched movies into late into the night. The next day I went to prison S21 with these 2 Danes I met, EEke aND jACk. The prison was really harrowing as they had the photos of all the people who died. Out of 17,000 people, only 5 survived. Had a quick look at ther Royal Palace on our way home but werent allowed in due to casual wear!!
That night we were told that there was this wicked party thats on the firsat friday of every month. Matt Dillon was at the last one!!
So a group of us had pre-paRTY DRInks by the lake playing drinking games and doing sambucca shots! I should have known it would end in tears!!! ;p
Left for the party and when we arrived it was heaving and awesome. It was a house but a bar called Elsewhere, it had a pool and gardens where the bar and dance floor were. ALl I can remeber is drinking loads of vodkas and passion fruit (delicious) and doing tequila shots! ANyway towards the end of the night after a hard boogie I decided to jump in the pool, this obviously started a cascade of others jumping in to. Gavce my camera to some guy to take photos of us wrestling eachother on shoulders. Apparently we spent ages in the pool. Even kissed a german guy called Marcus who i dont remember talking to at all, probably didnt!
When I got out I couldnt find my camera and spent ages ftrying to find it but unfortunal;tey someone had taken it. GUTTED!
ANyway we were the last people to leave and I still didnt want to go as I felt defeatedthat I hadnt found my camera. Was still hoping it was going to turn up, it didnt!!
Got home and wanted to pass out, was still in wet clothes.
ANyway set my alasrm for 0550, although it was 0520 at the time, should have stayed awake but physically couldnt. Obviously didnt hear my alarm, neither did my mates so we missed out bus that was supposed to leave at 0630, it was always going to happen!! Good f***ing night though!!
