Air Asia is the Easyjet of Asia. Long legs and teh ability to stand up longer gave me a window seat. I thought they were all gonna push each other like crazy (like Indians) to get their desired seats but they didn't.

well, No pen is a bit of a disappointment. It's a very poor country reminiscent of India in many ways; the raods are a mess, the buildngs are falling down, there is begging and hassle from desperate people trying to make a dollar. I'm out of this city tomorrow and off to Siam Riep so I hope I'll seee another side to the place. You ave to feel sorry for these people, teh economy is so bad that dollar is currency with the Riel trailing behind in second place. It's financially better for me to use dollars which is a weird feeling. There are 5000 Riel to the pound so buying anything reslts in a bill for tens of thousands! I understand why its impossible to get Riel outside teh country ow - it's worthless anywhere but there and I'm sure that they are boosting it artificially to make it worth anythig at all...

Moved to a Guestouse near teh river today which is a nicer area from where I stayed last night. I don't think I can handle another India right now! :)
