hello hello. we are in siem reap airport. it is sssssssooooooooooooo posh can't believe it!! our plane leaves at 1335 and we got here at 1010!!!! we are only suppose to be an hour and a half early but we got here three and a half early....bad maths= yes!!! opps. oh well. we have been staying in a nice bamboo place for the last three nights. which was fun. about to fly to bangkok where we will spend christmas morning and and then will fly to phuket in the arvo and then stay there one night and then go to koh toa for three nights. koh toa is good for diving, i think that is basically all that is there....beaches!!! pretty stoaked about that. looking forward to a good beach. last night we had a night in and watched some movies at our hotel with our french friend frederick and some english chaps. they made us watch a booy movie first, so then we watch december boys, purely because it was australian. it was ok, but the ending was terrible.... we all groaned!! so we have made a few friends along the way. not many we will keep in contact with though which will be sad. we seem to spend full days with people and then either they leave or we leave, so its kinda sad. we like taking the people who are by themselves under our wings. they seem to be the funnest and the most interesting people we've met. the couples are ok, the single girls (like ourselves) i cant stand personally, the boys are nice and amy thinks i am always trying to chat up the older kymer (cambodian) men...... what tha????? anyway. i am just trying to be friendly because they think all white women are snobs, and i hate feeling like a snob, so i try smiling and talking to most people. we have had to push men away that drive the tuk-tuks though. as you walk down the street, all you hear is 'tuk-tuk lady' or 'lady, i give good price on tuk-tuk for you', etc. paul mills- you would appreciate the use of the word 'lady' or "ladies" in the whole of s.e asia!!! anyway. this is costing me a mint so i have to go. will write from thailand.
have a great christmas.
love coby
