I’m in a little net cafe somewherew in the middle of Phnom Penh, it’s gotta be atleast 30 C, the little electric fan above me is sort of offering me a little escape, and i’ve got a bit of a head cold. But this is awesome!
Yesterday Lachlan, Erin and I crossed the border from Thailand into Cambodia.
We had planned to visit Koh Mak, but ended up checking out a little town called Trat – very nice litle place.
Anyway, we crossed the border at Hat Lek, paid our 1100 baht each for the visa, got a ride into Krong Koh Kong. After some negotiations / bargening we were into a share taxi bound for Phnom Penh. About 2 kms into the journey we stoped to remove the back seat and fill the back of the van with a diesal engine, a generator, a circular saw and some other tools – a Chinese guy from Beijing was doing business down there, and needed to get his gear back to Phnom Penh. It cost him $80USD to get all that gear up there – at least 250kms!
It was a long journey, and the final part int Phnom Penh took ages, traffic was massive, and had a little disagreement with the taxi driver – as you do!
I had gotten quite used to speaking some basic Thai, now I am back to square one here in Cambodia – kinda annoying!
We started cutting footage the other day, so soon we will have the first ep of Ping Pong Kapow up online – as long as now one has ripped my mac from the guesthouse!
Haha, all the way back to square one. It’s going to be waiving with the hands again, and if that doesn’t work, try your feet as well! 😛
Hope you all having a good time there! Any changes you noticed compared to Thailand?
looking forward for more information about this. thanks for sharing. Eugene
