Well one long monsoon party at C.U.B. and I just couldn't stay in Sihanoukville any longer. The week was full of adventure and I don't think I've ever met such an array of people! The Orlando Bloom and Jason Segal doppelgängers really helped make up for the two weeks I'd spent with my ex's doppelgänger in Malaysia. As well as the company of drug mules, reporters, wine connoisseurs, artists, fruit pickers, my 18 year old manager who wants to be a king in 40 000 years or so and the other great people I worked with including Jason from Arizona (who is looking for a new home in Asia, is writing a movie, and just never runs out of amazing stories a about marrying babysitters or spiritual enlightenment), Dennis from Holland (who is introverted and fears I'm analyzing everything he does but matches two or three to my every drink night along and is at my side when we find ourselves eating ants or the only white people at LV Entertainment club) and Paul, American/Cambodian who is really going to get the bar going if Chean will stop to learn from him.
One long last night helped me sleep through most of today. I lost my camera and my pants were stolen about 5 minutes before I got the bus... Which turned out to be a bus, trek across the border, a couple of overcrowded vans, and finally a bus that was actually going to Bangkok. An additional train and taxi (which i found by walking into it giving me a lovely black eye) finally got me to a guesthouse where i've splurged and had my first real hot shower in nearly four weeks :)
I'm loving life!
