Dave's South East Asia Adventure!!: Sihanoukville

Serendipity beach

I've been in a place called Sihanoukville for almost a week now. It's a beachtown, not quite as nice as the beaches in Thailand, but not as crowded as Thailand....and super chill. Haven't been doing much here, just relaxing on the beach and organizing my days around food (who has an all you can eat, where and what time...etc....hard work trying to keep up with all of it I tell you). The only things I've really done is taking a snorkeling trip to a few islands, breakfast and lunch included....all for $10. Today I rented a motorbike and toured around, ended up in some really cool rural places. Although I lost the key to the bike (along with my room key, the pad lock key for the bike...and a few more) as it just fell out while I was driving on some backroads somewhere. The guy tried to charge me way too much for replacements, but instead of getting mad I just calmed him down and went over the real replacement costs....ended up being an extra $3...I'm getting way too good with this!! :) This place is littered with sex and drugs though. You can't walk anywhere without being offered a motorbike...then something to smoke....then hookers. Everyday, about 15-20 times a day. They get so lazy all they ask is "you want something?"...hehehe, ridiculous! My time is up in Sihanoukville, heading to Ho Chi Minh the day after tomorrow. Here we come Viet-fricken-Nam!
