I am sitting in Battambang... pronounced Battambong i think... we arrived today from Kampong Chhanang, and appear to have a free afternoon before working thursday and friday and then back to PP on Saturday. I think my collegues are going to take me on a moto ride round the sites later, but whilst they replicate their emails i have been wondering around the place, taking photos of slightly dilapidated french colonial arcitecture, probably getting sunburnt and finding the fastest internet connection in cambodia so far! This place reminds me of Siem Riep without the tourists... Siem Riep is the town that all the Angkor temples are close to, and really the centre is totally set up for tourists and isnt particulalrly cambodian at all... here it is so much more laid back... but there are a lack of nice restaurants selling fruit smoothies mmmmm. Mostly when traveling with work i am obliged to eat rice 3 x per day... my collegues were distressed this morning when i ate a mango for breakfast and not a huge bowl of rice and beef...
A final thought... whoever decided that hotel rooms with no windows were a good idea should be shot (well possibly not actually shot... i am fairly anti guns i suppose) ... i am staying in an airconditioned, but decidedly prison like room for the next 3 nights...
