Turantulas...buses...russian markets....

...tis all go I tell eeee....
So Sat morn was on the road again 8ish after a cracking sleep and stopped a few times along to the way to Phenom Penh. The second stop, well as you got off the bus there was a lil girl trying to sell a live turantula..it was on her arm...lots of them in the market, loose. Also fried ones.
So we had a quick and scetchy look around and it was quite horrendous, filthy etc. So we got back on the bus and Long had bought deep fried crickets, deep fried turantula and a LIVE one..again loose, so then that was on the bus too...ermm.....
We stopped after 30 mins and set him free. Then everyone was trying the spider and cricket-not me though....eeewwww.....gross.....
So we arrived in PP and had a nice picnic in the open air. We then got to the hotel and then went out on cyclos, omg, no road rules at all and loads and loads more cars in PP than SR!! Hellish!!! Pretty hectic, we then stopped at the Reunification Monument and a market opposite the Royal residence.
So...toDAY HAS BEEN HARD AND I CANT TURN THE CAPS LOCK OFF, I THINK IT IS STUCK, SORRY!!! we argh, turned it off...we went to Toul sleng first which is S21 from the Khymer Rouge days...very very horrific, an old school that was used as a prison during the war, very hard images etc and the conditions they lived in, well lets just say that I am now a bit more prepared to Auschwitz now....will do a good explanantion on fb pics!! We then moved on to the killing fields (Choueng ek) which again was horrendous-you are literally walking on mass graves, clothes and bones sticking out of the ground. The torture that these guys went through was horrific and has now made me want to do a lot more research into it.
This afternoon we went to the russian market where I got a traditional Khymer scarf and an ansum fake Louis Vuitton bag!! Yay!!
I got a tuk tuk back on me tod as wanted to do a nice long update on here and try and call mum :)
2nite wer are off to some locals house to have dinner and then tomorrow off on a nice 5 hour speedboat trip down the Mekong into Vietnam. There is talk of nightclubbing tonight, oh dear-its Mongolia all over again isnt it? Hellish.
I am really really enjoying myself and the longer I am away the more and more I want to stay and travel more...I just love it so much, the freedom you have and the experiences you gain, what your eyes see and what you taste, hear, everything, ist awesome!!! :)
