Back in Cambodia

I am finally back in Phnom Penh. My trip to Bangkok to meet Bharadwaj and Vinutha was awesome. We had the time of our lives. When I think back, I would not have done even 10% of the stuff had they not been there. BJ (Bharadwaj as his family knows him) worked in Bangkok for 2 years and for the better part of our trip was our guide. His knowledge of Thai enabled us to drink coffee without any trouble whatsoever. BJ introduced me to Thai Lemon Tea...Cheers mate.

The photograph you see right now was taken on the way back from the Airport to our house in Phnom Penh. The car is traveling at about 26km per hour. I am finding it quite difficult to adjust to life in the slow lane in Cambodia. I have hardly been here 20 minutes and I am already pressing the accelerator to try to get the car to move a little faster on the empty road...but...unfortunately I am not in the driver's seat. Bangkok has spoilt me. The roads there are awesome and most of the time when you are not stuck in a traffic jam you move at speeds over 100kmph. But I can't complain, how often is the car speed the same as the outside temperature - 26.
