Well, here goes again for another try.

The last blog stopped with talking about Harry's place that has turned into manager and her boyfriend's pick and choose kind of place. I figured out why they have to do this too, so they can continue their lifestyle, so to speak. After some time, I am going to either talk to Harry or write him an email and tell him how rudely I was treated. I would not call it any type of friendship place at all. It's a pick and choose place.

Then, after leaving Boeung Kak lake area, I was taten to a nice little hotel down by the River very close to the Old Market and this place turned out to be a little bit strange. Lots of foreigners but lots of "just a few hours" type place too. I never stay in a place like that although I know that the invasion of nice budget hotels has or is taking place, so beware. It is probably best to still go by the recommended places. Besides, I got yelled at because people wanted more money. For some strange reason, the Penhoise think they can still cheat history, like try and push off the Genocide Trials because it is too challenging to the self image that Asians are the best while the rest of us are worser off.

I do not like this attitude at all. Genocide is a horrible thing and it needs to be dealt. What took place in S-21 needs to be dealt with, just like Darfur and Tibet. Actually, Cambodia is getting the very best deal so far which is to be heartily congratulated; and the crappy attitudes that are floating around Phnom Penh right now needs to be ignored. After all, the Maoists in Nepal would probably love to try some of the same things if they thought they could get away with it.

So, I did not have a nice time in Phnom Penh this time and so came back here to Sihanoukville yesterday, Aug. 18h. It rained like Hell last night, but it is much nicer now. I think it must be the beach effect because it is much more peaceful here. Maybe it is because the City Gov't of
