Happy happy foods

So all around Cambodia, weed is a common addition to the foods. If it is added the food acquires the name of "Happy.. whatever". Happy pizza and happy shakes being the most common (in Laos 'happy' means mushrooms have been added).

So one night we decided to try a happy pizza. Or two to be exact. And when you order the chef asks how happy you want it to be. Jo asked for 'extra' happy! so there we were waiting on two extra happy pizzas and we have no idea how bad they will affect us or how quick it happens or what!

i said to Jo we should eat like a quarter each 15mins to see what it's like and then within half an hour both pizzas were gone!?! But they tasted sooooo gooood! but we were laughing because what happened to our pacing ourselves?

We then chilled for around an hour and a half waiting to see what we'd feel and nothing happened! Dissapointed, we headed back to our room as we were pretty tired and we both promptly fell asleep. We both awoke like another hour later and the stuff had finally kicked in. Next time we'll try it for lunch instead so we can tell you properly what it does... (and no, we're not becoming druggies! But when in Rome, do as the Romans do... etc etc)

We've now moved on to Pnom Phen and last night we tried a happy shake. same thing - it takes a while to kick in. I actually didn't feel too much as i had a bit of a headache and i think this distracted me but Jo was pretty gone (maybe drunk too?).

haha, right now i have guy offering me Opium, weed, ecstasy etc right here on the street next to the internet cafe. crazy!
