My diary
I have now found myself in the capital of Cambodia and have decided to see the sights ASAP and get the hell out of here...! It's safe to say that my nasal passages were the clearest they've ever been after being suffocated by tea tree on a minibus full of Khmer people inhaling, rubbing and sharing the stuff every 10 minutes...Having been so keen to have me ride in his tuk tuk, my driver then had no idea where the hostel was and, map in hand, I ended up shouting directions with added extravagent hand gestures from the back seat in order to get us in the right direction. After arriving at last, I bumped into a girl I had previously met in Laos and spent the evening playing water volleyball whilst sipping cocktails before going out for dinner. We ended up turning down 2 restaurants due to the lack of an English menu or any possible way of communication, and soon found ourselves in a local establishment with one of the most unappetising selections of food I have ever seen...although if red ant salad, cow tongue, frogs, cow intestines or virgin chicken (don't ask...) is your kind of thing then, don't get me wrong, you'd have been in heaven! This evening was followed by a day exploring what the city had to offer which, excluding some big markets, turns out to be not a lot...
