ankor wat ect.

earlyer today.. well, ass early today at 5 am i headed out to ankor wat.
got there in the dark and crossed the huge oat to the main complex.
and as the day slowly faided into view the temple apeared before me.
yes is was cool, yes it was amazing. yes to all that.
but perhaps becasue of my travels through so many ancent countrys, i couldn't exactly see what all the people are shitting them selfs over, perhaps with a bit of reflection i'll better undersatnd. and so it

so it's a goal to reserch more ankor history.

i'm getting more of a feel for cambodia, the busy dirty streets, the tinge of kaios, still flondering with the langeage.
i've got about a week left to work with in cambodia for now, then i need to make it into Sigon.

tomarow i hope to ither hit up the landmine musium, find a bus to hon pen, or both.

the maskitos are so thick here just walking you have to be carfull to not get them in your mouth and eyes. i finaly broke down and started taking the malrea medicin andrea left with me whan she viseted last year..
it seems that no amout of deet and keeping these little fuckers from eating me alive.

yesterday I had an intresting incounter at dinner, i was sitting alone at a small open air restrant, really nothing more than food vender stals in a peranet location. i was trying to ask in on plate came with rice, it think it was the fryed pig sternum but they wern't getting it, when the small grl who worked there roughly grabed my hand an draged me smiling behinsd the food cart to show me what was in teh pots, and i said yes but continued to try and ask about the rice. the guy there siad yes yes yes, and i sat down at on of the many empty tables. not far into my meat to preaty cambidian lady sat dow at my table as well and saterted eating and trying to talk to me. telling me i ws preaty. next thing i know there are 4 girls. really preaty all sitting there, chowing down and trying to talk to one. one lady cat spoke some thai and some english , w chatted for awhile. al the girls worked at a dance club/sprip club/masage parler/restrant acorss the street.
very strang, i was worryed the whole time that something fishy was going on, they kept offering me there food, an the waiter kept bringing me tea, and soup and kept saying free free!.
so odd, all teh girls finaly headed off to work. so strang, at thhe same place the guys hanging out there wanted me to hang out and drink beer with them but i was just too wiped out to atempt to comunacate and worry about scams ect ect ect..
