Gay helper

Finding a cheap place to sleep in Macau during Chinese new year festival was
not easy, and a guy wanting to help we turned out to be gay and I was
offered to sleep next to him for free, but had to kindly decline. After 4
hours of looking, with another old guy helping me running up and down places
I would never have believed rented out rooms, I got an ok place.

A last view of Cambodia

A last memory of Cambodia, a place that has Thailand's charm (without all
the drunk teenagers), lower prices, a place I would recommend!

Ochheuteal beach, Shianoukville

This beach is quite long, and locals put up their "shack's" everywhere, but
last year June 27th the government came down with buldosers and ran half of
the establishments down (expropriating the land). Obviously there were some
protests/riots, but in Cambodia you don't have a lot to say. Assumingly the
demolished cheap places will be replaced by expensive resorts in the near
future. Cambodias tourism is at full speed forwards and I reccommend
strongly to go here before the charm is gone. Cheaper than Thailand and just
as good.

Temporarily out of order

I was a little sick, took some antibiotica and became VERY sick for 2/3
days. It was a cure with one pill per day for 3 days, but 1 pill was more
than enough for me!! Afterwards I learnt that this is a specially
concentrated cure, not for the faintheart.

Parting ways

Mike and Matt goes back to Bangkok, Bill (second from the right) and I keep
going on in Cambodia, down to the coast and going back up from the coast
eventually to Bangkok. In the background, Angkor Wat,.. bye bye to great
temples.

Local dance performance

Many restaurants attract coustomers with free dance performance included. I
can't say how genuine it is, but I did notice that the two ancle ornaments
they were wearing were also on the temple carvings of wommen from ancient
times.

Preparing the duck

The duck itself is being cooked, but first the blod is drained and kept
fresh, and when the dish is served the blood is added. Nice!,.. anyone said
something about avian flu??

Easy come, easy go

Easy tiger, or friend and taxidriver invited us to his home, wife, and
children, and we had a big feast.

However at the end of the day he said he couldn't drive us in his car on the
third day and wanted to take us in a tuktuk for the same price, we said we
wanted a lower price (business is business) or money back for the third day.
Somehow we parted in a very unfriendly way, but we gave him a just amount.

Village party

Things were pretty crazy in this village party we came to close to our
taxid-driver-man's house. Very strange experience, all the men and
children wanted to dance with or touch us and all girls were shy and staid
far away. Everyone were sober and we danced around in a big circle with
strange music..!
