Not too bad... I am hoping it will continue to increase with every new location and day.

I made it too Phnom Penn and I didn't get dragged off by a tuk tuk driver this time, (last time a drive grabbed my arm and only took me a couple steps). Me and the swedishs girls decided to stay on the lake... we are sharing a room for 2.5$ a night. That is less than a dollar a day. WOW

I have been hanging out with 2 local khmer guys, one is a boyfriend of the new swedish girl I meet. I found out that Cambodia ppl rarely get passports because it costs them 125$, and when they are only making less than 25$ a day it is hard to save up enough. Scarey

I made it too the waterpark here... its not quite what I was expecting but I am in Cambodia... I will upload pics when I get to vietnam (can't upload here). It was fun though... some slides, a river, a swimming pool, a little kid area ( ya I played there too) and a wave pool that wasn't one. We were having soo much fun the guards had to kick us out. Anything goes at the water park... trains down the slide, forward, backwards, head first... etc. I loved it.

I have a double vodka and red bull for 0.75$ and nachos for a snack after the pool. What a day. The evening wasn't as much fun... dinner took forever and the bar was lame, but I had good company, plus Sky and I won the pool game.

I am not very good at spending a lot of time with the same ppl so this morning I hit the killing fields, the prison and the national museum. I have had so many days with out runes and museums I was almost starting to miss them... j/k :P

It was a scary day, very depressing, but the reality of the Khmer Rouge has finally hit me and there were almost tears on my face. There were thousands of faces on the boards and the same amount of skulls to match. Wow thats all I can say.

There are lizards everywhere here... ya ya I know I changed the subject... but there are 3 on the wall in front out me.

I am annoyed... tomorrow is sunday so I can't get my visa for vietnam until monday night... so I am going to be chillin here for another couple days. I am going to need to make some different friends soon I have been hanging out with the sweds for a week now... its a long time record.

I am out of here. I love the comments everyone thanks
