South East Asia '06

Thursday, June 08, 2006

we are now in the capital of cambodia, called pheom phen or p^2...we had a 6 hour bus ride to the captial and seriously i have way too much stuff. i broke down and bought dvds for like 2.50 a piece and then i bought somethings for gifts and now i have too much shit!

we got here around 1:00 and checked into the blue lotus? something to that effect and we had tuk-tuk drivers that were so incredibly nice. they wanted to know what our plans were for the day so they could take us. we had decided eariler to go to the killing fields and then the genocide museum. well i hadn't done much reading about the killing fields but when i heard the story i was sick to my stomach...what made it worse was the fact that as we were walking and looking at the mass graves, we were actually walking over the victums bones! i felt horrible and opted out of the musuem that showed actual pictures.

before the killing fields however, payne, dave, trisha and i went to a shooting range. it was so awesome, they actually had a menue of what you could order! how much a magazine was for each gun (AK 47s, M16s) that is what the boys shot...trisha and i went for the smaller but still fun K54 which is a chineese hand gun!

and then tonight we will sleep and get up at 5:40 am to catch another bus to vietnam...ho chi man city...and we will spend a few days there. i have been hearing that there is no internet in vietnam, so please nobody panic if i don't write for a few days! i can't wait to come home and mom...thank you for my dinner request! your the best :)
