ok can't talk too much cos internet cafe time is almost up.
Been a blast. 3 on a moto against traffic during rush hour and being on a lemur moto in the middle of some village with the other 20 passengers looking at you suspiciously is the best cambodian experience ever.
Oh and Thi is the best. We play this game. I entertain him, and he saves me from myself.
Like just an hour ago, I could've gotten myself killed by angry locals with whom I bargained and fought over for string I could hang my washing on. I wanted to buy it for 12 cents, they wanted 14. No go.
We can never go back that street again.
Shit. over time. Might as well blog somemore as thi says.
But yes, I managed to get my Laos visa, for those of you who know the trauma I went through wrt to the embassies, sneaky hotels and international children's day, be relieved. It's here, in my hands and I will be shimming up the Mekong River soonish. I will get to stay in huts lit only by candles and tiptoe around landmines and bandits.
Dear god, protect me.
I will try to blog if the area permits, and if my singaporean Kiasuness doesn't get the better of me.
Now thi and I will head back on a Moto, becuase we cannot walk back through the streets where the lady was selling the 14 cent string. I could've bought the whole roll for 50 cents. But hey, I love a good bargain.
Actually I don't and have been torn up over what an ass i was. But it's over. And I still need to wash my clothes.
Love,
Hannah

Sweetheart, they really could do with the 2 cents more than you could.
Whilst i hate to get cheated, knowing that these people are in much more need, I just try to take it as my ala World Vision donation.
