bird legs getting bigger

I added a few more photos to the Sihanoukville album, here: TaDa!

We took at our bus at 8 in the morning yesterday and at about 1 PM it broke down. It wasn't bad really, it just got super hot on the bus, so we got off. - Waited on the super hot road. We took all of our things off of this bus and within 45 minutes a new bus came and picked us up.

When we got to the Cambodia/Thai border we had to get off the bus to do paper work and then board a new bus in thailand. As we were wating in line for passport checking I saw out old bus Drive away and then imediately realized my load was a lot lighter. I had forgotten the plastic bag I've been carrying around for 2 weeks - filled with a few goodies I bought in Cambodia. =( =( =( I'm not terribly mad at myself because for 2 weeks had been taking excellent care of teh bag, always remembering it. it was just a dumb mistake getting off that one bus sort of thinking we'd be getting back on, I sort of hate myself, but not too much.

So I ended up losing a nice pinstriped dress-shirt I bought for THREE dollars, I also lost 2 silk red blankets with golden elephant designs stitched on, and I lost a purple silk purse with gold elephants. It really sucks because I would have loved to have those things in Canada, but I wasn't very attatched to them since I hadn't used them yet. I'll most probably be able to find things like that in Thailand again, but they for sure won't be as cheap as in cambodia, will have to use my bargaining skills!

The thing that does make me mad though is this: The only reason I'd been hanging onto them was so that I could mail thm home in Bangkok. I couldnt mail them in cambodia because we kept hearing all the post offices were too unreliable. Cambodia has but a bitter taste in my mouth more than a few times. I did have a good time there and there were lots of special sights and moments. but overall I like Thailand so, so much more, and am happy to be back.
