to us. Then she or he (I'm still politically correct) grabs bug by head, bend wings and bite out stomach. Then we took a train to Cambodian border and then we rented minivan which bring us to Angkor Wat. A 100 mi trip took 8 hours. During this trip we had a chance to get acquired with real world travelers, fit, suntanned guys and girls who remained me soviet tourists of 60s, but unfortunately they do not sing our songs. Normal tourists do not go this way, they fly to Angkor Wat.

Today I came on roof of speedboat to Phnom Phen. Howard left earlier to Tokyo. There is Herb's Pizza here between Club of foreign correspondents and Cambodian Tourist Agency, where pizza with marihuana is served. Herbs Pizza strongly recommended by Lonely Planet (sort of AAA approval). I tried pizza, it is good, but 40 degrees vodka is definitely stronger. There is Russian restaurant here, opened by Russians who came here to save wild life of Cambodia. Now they serve pelmeni and borsh with the meat of these animals which they saved. Telephone from here is $5 per minute, but Internet is almost free.

Your Alex.

PS. Cambodians loves fried tarantulas, Should I try?

Phnom Penh is considered to be the Paris of South East Asia. They really have something from the Paris here: French planning of the streets and good coffee, also menu in restaurant in French, however there are no forks, chopsticks only. But this Paris require a lot of stomach. When you arrive at the street you get surrounded by beggars (small children, invalids, mothers with children); people trying to sell you something. There is no escape unless you on bike.

I made a terrible mistake yesterday, then tried pizza with marihuana. What if I will try to get elected to public office. If they ask did I smoke marihuana I definitely can answer that I did not, ...
