Yeah, that was a good spot.
They wanted to sell the resort to us.....we should have done it. But Yen said NO! And you have to be Vietnamese to buy there.....It will increase in value by 10 times in 5 years, I have no doubt.

Someday you'll have the dough to get to Cambodia...you can live on very little once you are there. A dollar is big dough to them.

Extremely sweet people. It is hard to imagine the horrors unleashed in times past, on that land. They still face tremendous pressures from Vietnam and Thailand, there are many that believe that Cambodia will be absorbed by those two over time. I sure hope not.

I can't remember if I told you about the little street girl that I struck up a quick friendship with. He name is Da, she's about 8 and absolutely brilliant. Her english was perfect, far better than her running mates. I asked her how it was that her english was perfect...she said she just learned it by following tourists around and that she spoke perfect french and german also. This kid floored me. When I left, she asked for my email address. I couldn't believe she had email access....and she said "oh no", but she had heard of it and she would email me when she could. I would love to get that email.

ready to go back, scoot
