After a hectic sightseeing schedule of temples and fun-on-a-stick genocide museums, it was time for somewhere more relaxed, more tranquil.
And so off we went to East Cambodia, leaving behind internet access, tarmac roads, 24 hour electricity and anybody who spoke English. This opportunity to try a bit of Khmer was a great success, as the woman whose house we were staying in hugged me every time I completed a sentence. Unless of course I was saying something drastically different from what was intended.
As for the electricity going off at about ten, that was also OK, and we looked forward to quiet nights, with only the sound of gheckos, night birds and karaoke.
Yes, some bloody fool in the village only had a generator. And did he use this generator that we all might enjoy hot water? Or a light to go to the loo with? No. He used it to power his bloody Karaoke machine. At full pelt. Bastard.
We did go trekking on Elephants though! Show off photos will be posted as soon as I'm near reliable internet again. Your last chance to see images of this endangered species before they plug karaoke machines into their trunks.
