Life in Cambodia, Sihanoukville

Happy Chinese New Year the Year of the Ox! We are definitely celebrating true Asian style...fireworks, dragon parades, etc. We have had some amazing sunsets, delicious grilled fish, local beer (Angkor) and lots of humidity. Just returned to hotel after a game of Uno with Amber and Tyler at sunset at one of the beachside restaurants. None of us wears a watch, we don't know the date or day of the week. Sounds like vacation. It was nice to get out of the bustling/smelly city of Phnom Penh and out to the warm ocean breeze. We are renting scooters tomorrow to explore the area and the next day we are out on a day trip to snorkel and visit a few islands off the coast. The boat trip picks us up from our beach bungalows, feeds us breakfast and lunch on the islands, snorkel equipment and fishing gear included (8am-4pm) to visit 3 islands all for the price of $15 U.S.! Sign us up!

P.S. I actually think Cambodia has faster internet than New Zealand. Unbelieveable.

Were the Thai and Cambodian coasts hit by the big tsunami a few years ago? If so, any evidence left or have they fully recovered? Hi to Amber and Tyler.
