Phnom phen

This place is tops!

We stayed at number 9 sister guesthouse but were told number 9 is where it was at and so this is where we hung out. Our first night we headed across to play a little pool and see what was going down.

When we first arrived, this irish couple invited us over to play some pool and we ended up spending the night with them and these Cambodian girls and some other friends of theirs.
Here is Jo with the two Cambodian girls; Supa and her sister Terry (kissing Supa)...

We played pool for a bit more and then we headed off to a pool party nearby. It was the first party of the month so it's the biggest they have I was told. Awesome night there i do agree! And the pool was full of ice so it was a luxury in the heat over here!

I spent half of it running away from this deaf Cambodian girl who i had accidentaly signaled to that I loved her instead of just friends, haha. Met a kiwi girl who owns a bar 'Utopia' down south that we will go stay with too.

We both ended up coming home the next day and we never even managed to use the room we'd booked into! Jo left with the others, I'm not sure when, and I left with this english girl to another bar. the next morning i was riding back home by motorbike (their form of a taxi) and was wondering how the hell i was gonna pay as i had no money left. but lo and behold, I passed Jo on the way still heading home! and asked him to lend me a buck and so a runner was avoided, haha.

Spent the rest of the time in Phnom phen drunk, visiting the left overs of the Khmer rouge and for me, visiting the local orphanges when Jo slept in (every day but he was with super...). We also hit the Russian market and bought some gifts for home and went to the local water park a couple of times - felt like we were 12 again and lovin it.
