Sob Sob

Getting ready to leave Phnom Penh in a couple of days - Da has been gradually transferring everything to "home new" - she and her brothers will be living in a different (cheaper) ground floor apartment when I leave - as well as being cheaper they will then be able to store their motos inside rather than paying $20 per month for secure parking. Just returned from lunch by the lake - me on the back of her moto with her brother driving - have some good video of the trip through traffic but cannot upload until I have a better (faster) internet connection - upload bandwidth here is apalling.

Early morning Wednesday will be on the bus to Poipet on the Thai border - will spend a night there (Da's home town) doubtless losing money playing cards with her sister and brother-in-law.  Then Thursday walk across the border - 30 minute Tuk-tuk ride to the train station in Aranyprathet then a 12:55 train to Bangkok - a 6 hour third class ride - wood seats - open sided cars - all for about $8.

  1. Hummm, how much to send me a used but in good condition Tuk-Tuk? That's would be a blast on the back roads of Maple Valley in the snow!
