Today is basically our last day in Cambodia. We go to the genocide museum and the killing fields this afternoon and then drive to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow morning.
We just spent the morning at the "Russian" market in Phnom Penh and it was bloody hot.
I'm currently trying to get my photos backed up to CD. I tried to upload a few so you could see them but the internet connection here keeps dropping out and pages don't finish loading so it's a pain in the butt. I also tried to reply to your emails but I have no idea if they went through.
The homestay was very interesting. There were cows in the backyard and we had very simple beds with mosquito nets. We played cards and it rained a lot. The food was served away from the houses where we stayed and was simple but nice. We played volley ball while we waited for the food and then remembered that we weren't going to get to shower until the evening of the next day after a long bus ride... oops.
Then we went to the beach at Sihanoukville. That was nice. We went snorkelling and everyone except me and one other aussie got really burnt. Silly poms just don't get it... although, in defence of my room-mate she constantly covered herself in 30+ sun screen and still got badly burnt. Oh well. It rained a lot and on one night we walked through the rain to get dinner and the mozzie repellent got washed off. Then we sat on the balcony all evening and forgot about reoding the repllent so we all got very badly bitten. My feet look like I have chicken pox. We've all learnt that tiger balm is awesome on mozzie bites though :)
I have to go now or I'll miss the bus to go out to see the killing fields etc...
I hope all is going well. Bye for now!
