I'm in Cambodia now!

I've been in Cambodia for a couple of days now.  It's been hard trying to gain internet access, yet, having the time to sit down and updating the blog.  I landed in Phnom Penh and stayed at a guest house for a couple of days to adapt to the environment prior to starting my trek.  I can't believe how cheap the rooms are... $10/night; but of course, with the price there are strings attached:  cockroaches, very firm bed, "happy valentine's" bed sheets with prior guest's hair attached to it, shitty cable television, and one NEW pack of condoms.

The weather is consistently in the 80's with ridiculously high humidity.  I'm sweating 24/7!  I hop in the shower to take a cool shower only to wipe my self down and be drenched in sweat again.  The traffic is congested with people riding motorbikes and driving cars in all kinds of damn directions.  People honking left and right, yet, there seems to be no road rage at all.

I picked up a buddy of mine this past Sunday at the Phnom Penh Intl Airport and rode 5 hours into Siem Reap. I'll be exploring the ancient Angkor Wat, and hike the mountains of Phnom Kulen in search of the old ancient buddha that was carved at the peak of the mountain.  From there, my buddy Jason wants a massage (haha) in the city of Siem Reap.  I'll be sure his masseuse is a lady-boy.

I'll be uploading photos and adding pictures in the blog in the upcoming days... stay tuned!

I can't believe this country was driven by mass murder and genocide during the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot era.  It's definitely recovering and the people here are working extra hard to restore life here.

Anyhow, what more could be asked for?  The people are extremely nice, everything is cheap, and the food is pretty damn good!  I've also learned the importance of knowing how to shit the "Asian-squat" style AND the pack of fresh ass-wipes from Wal-Mart IS your best friend when you're in countries like this...
