Cambodia

I am off to Cambodia today for a few days: flying to Phnom Pehn, then to Siem Reap and then back to KL: a bit of a whistle stop tour.

On the plane I am sat next to two very over excited Cambodian girls, and the one right next to me keep fidgeting incessantly, elbowing me and she keeps trying to look out of the window (I've got the widow seat) which means she keeps leaning right over me, which is very disturbing when you’ve been snoozing and you wake up and there’s a face right next to yours…

Anyway, a couple of hours later we are landing at Phnom Pehn International Airport, and I have to buy my entry visa (I have tried doing this online, but the website kept crashing. This took a series of at least 10 people to process, passing my application, passport and $20 from one to another down a long line!

Finally I am in Cambodia and the first thing I do is get myself a 3G SIM (well, it’s a 3.5G apparently) so that at least I can keep in touch with the real world whilst I am here: plus it’s always good to be able to call / find yourself on a map when you’re on your own 1000s of km from home…
