Phnom Penh. 1 Bangkok. 0
11.00 AM Boat again at the mo, up to Siam Reap ( Beside Angkor Wat)
Phnom Penh was cool, beats Bangkok, as capitals go, anyday. Not as plastic.
4.00PM We.re all settled in here and fed now. Going to Angkor Wat for sunset at five, should be good. Yesterday was great, we went to a shooting range and got an AK47. On the menu were many many guns, but by far the best was the rocket launcher, 200US dollars (AK was 30 with a magazine) for one shot. They used to give you a cow to aim at, now it's a minkey or a pig! I don't agree with it at all of course, but isn't it gas!
Afterwards we went to the killing fileds and onto the Tuol Sleng museum.
An experience.
I won't go into it really, lets just say Tuol Sleng, a converted school to prison, was where they were housed/tortured before being brought to Choeung Ek, i.e. the mass graves there.
After our morbid morning we ran to the royal palace, which was shut off as the King was out for a stroll. The nonto the national museum, which was closing early, ( Guards like gettin home for the spuds and cabbage) so we didn't go in.
Chillaxed for the night, ate ,drank, played guitar (Which I havn't been doing enough of) and had some beers and pool in a cool french restaurant.
Speaking of beers, I need a fresh one...
