I've had a 'busy' few days of partying and temple visiting! I stayed in Siem Reap for 6 days, it was very touristic but I was in a great guest house and met up with a group for really great people who I have spent the past week with. Mainly been cycling around the temples by day and drinking $1 cocktails by night. We all travelled down to Phomn Penn for a last night of partying before everyone went their separate ways. I arrived in PP by bus and had to navigate the busy streets at night on the bike, with only a crappy lonely planet map and a guesthouse name! It wasn't until I got inti the traffic it occurred to me I have not been in a decent sized city since leaving Hanoi 2 months ago- total culture shock!! And PP is not that big or busy. I didn't realise how much I'd missed the buzz and hustle and bustle. I loved my ride through the streets dodging the scooters, avoiding pot holes and people, the lights and horns. I soon made it to my destination and hooked up with my mates- a group of French people. As you will all know my French skills are poor at best, but I'd like to think I understand some of what's going on.... Anyway, the girls were telling a story about brioche and Italians- I naturally assumed they were talking about food, they ask me 'do you understand', yes I love brioche- in my best French- everyone fell about laughing, 'um well really, it is possible to say that, you sure you understand?'.... Well clearly not as brioche is a slang term for 'ahem' a certain part of the male anatomy... That I had just announced in my best French how much I love!!! I gave up after that- maybe French lessons needs to go on the to do list for when I get home?
Today I have spent a cheery morning looking around the killing fields and S21 the school turned torture prison during the Pol Pot regime, very disturbing and distressing to see the faces and skulls of those who lost their lives, and the way they met their horrific death. Why are some people so evil?
