I'm not drunk now...



Sorry about yesterday's post. I was tipsy. I'll tell you something else you shouldn't do. You shouldn't get drunk and then get up early next morning to take a two hour boat ride and go snorkeling. Still, saw some fish and some space-hopper sized sea anemonies. Found the breathing a bit tricky so will go snorkeling a few more times before I splash out for a scuba-diving course in Thailand. I may see an octopus!!!

The Angkor Arms (Angkor Wat/Anchor Arms...see what they did there?) was apparently the first pub/bar to be established in Sihanoukville (a town on the coast near Thailand) after the Khmer Rouge thing plus the years of instability following it went away. Doesn't it make you feel proud that it's a British one? It was quite an authentic approximation of an English pub inside, just quite a rough one where you wouldn't necessarily want to stay in. But look, established in 1995. That means that before twelve years ago there was no pub here! The horror! The horror!

Ate in a restaurant called The Snake Pit a few nights ago which is a working reptile house with tanks with snakes in around the walls and snakes in the tables under glass. I had some kind of python in mine.

Off to Thailand tomorrow. Later.
