Sihanoukville, Cambodia and my final days in SE Asia...

I can't believe it's already December 9th! I guess it's true that time flies when you're having fun. I'm spending my last couple days in a city called Sihanoukville in the southern most part of Cambodia. It's definitely a place to end the trip of a lifetime. Sihanoukville is a small town with beaches and backpackers from around the world. Let me rewind a few days...we left Siem Reap for the capital city of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Like I said in my previous post, Cambodia and especially it's capital city are still making there way out of the Khmer Rogue genocide. Much of the buildings are newer because the previous ones had been destroyed. I went to one if the killing fields that were used during the genocide. Pretty incredible that Cambodia is bouncing back from something so tragic. When we arrived in Phnom Penh a lot of the guesthouses were filled up but we finally found one thanks to our tuk tuk driver. It was a new place only about a week old. The owner invited Alec and I to play soccer that night at a park with some guys. Of course we played. A bit out of shape from traveling we both scored a couple goals. After a few days in the capital city we jumped on our bus to Sihanoukville. We've just been beach bumming it here the past couple days. They have a 24 hour cinema here owned by a California man from San Francisco. The cinema is different than from back home. He has about 6 small rooms where you can lay on the floor and pick from his list of thousands of movies. Pretty cool guy. I'm going to the cinema at mid night to have a beer and watch the 49ers game that starts here at 4 am. My time in SE Asia is coming to an end. I can't say enough about the countries I've visited and seen over the past 3 months. This has definitely opened my eyes to so many different cultures and lifestyles. I don't want to stop traveling just yet. I'm hoping to save up money back home and explore Central America in the next few months. The amount of stuff I've learned here is priceless. I want to see and learn more. I don't feel like I'm done yet. The world is too big. We are flying back home from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was a lot cheaper than flying out if Bangkok. Another day in Vietnam will be nice to end the trip. One more day in a big city. Gotta go soak up some more sun before its gone. I forget to tell you, I got a pedicure on the beach yesterday haha. I'll put a picture up of it. Until next time...love
