Day 235 – Phnom Penh, Cambodia

In the morning I got word some Finns came into town. I’ve been in contact with one of them for quite a few months. I didn’t know exactly where, but I knew the general area where they were staying. I started checking the bigger guesthouses and the ones that were mentioned in the travel guides. I checked the guest books where people wrote down their names but didn’t see the their names. I think it was almost 10AM and at the 5th guesthouse I saw them sitting at a table getting ready to eat breakfast: Two Finns, one Swede, and one Australian. They were kind of surprised since I showed up uninvited.

After breakfast, all of us crowded into a Tuk Tuk and went to the National Museum. The Australian had a motorcycle accident a week ago so he had to walk with some crutches. After the museum, we walked to the river, and then to the mall.

In the evening we watched “The Killing Fields” with everyone since I bought it today on DVD for $2. Unfortunately, it was like watching it in a nightclub since there was so much loud music at this guesthouse on the lake. I’m staying here for $4/night. There’s a bathroom in my room, but it isn’t that great. The water from the sink just empties onto the floor, splashing all over my feet.
