Breakfast at the hotel and then we had some coupla hours to spend before our flight to Phnom Penh. Went for a walk searching for a beer, didn't find that, instead a bag snatcher caught Niina, though in this case a phone catcher; a guy from a oassing moto grabbed Niina's phone which was in her roadside hand and tried to snatch it. Niina didn't let go, so she was dragged beside the micing moto for coupla metres, then she let go, the thief lost his balance in the intersection, fell over, dropped the phone from his hand in te middle of the intersection, I ran after him, first tried to catch him, but he _just managed to get his bike up and drive away, since Niina shouted me to get the phone. Coupla people picked it up from the road and handed to me. The front and back glass shattered, but it still worked! Amazingly. Though Niina was hurt, two very nasty looking scratches in her right side back..but luckily no eyeglasses shattered or anything broken, etc.! Nasty wounds, but we had a pharmacy around the corner of our Hotel, they cleaned the scratches and gave bandages. Locals also would have helpes to report the police, but that wouldn't done nuch good, since we didn't see the guy who did this and he got nothing. And we had a flight to catch in twi hours' time. So we decided not to spend the next three hrs or so at a police station. Luckily, really, that anything worse did not happen!! But this sure was a reminder to be careful with the bag snatchers, really!!
