Wednesday, January 16 "Hey guys. Just a few pics of me on my way to work. The deal is I wake up, ride through the city ( which i'll try to get pics of tomorrow ) and into what would be the equivalent of torbay to St. John's. It's all taken on a piece of land about twenty feet across and two Km long. on one side is a flood plain filled with morning glory ( a veg that float on the water and that you can walk on if your a 120 lb Cambodian person, I doubt i'd make it very far, maybe that can be another pic ). the other side is rice field, not much going on in them cause its dry season." Anyway, lader 
 
 Monday, November 5th "K, I've finally managed to dry out after three week ? the piss'. My ameboid friends were not killed like I thought. They were just drunk in my stomach so they couldn't 'do thier thing'. but thier back now with avengance. Anyway, went for a bike ride yesterday to celebrate being sober for more than twelve hours so check out the pics. About an hour outside the city and checkin out some pagoda's and some locals along the way. Its funny that most people you see say 'hello'and then die laughing at you like it was the funniest thing they ever saw." -=-=PICS(2) ON THE WAY=-=- "look at the crazy dude with the sword. He's nuts!" -=-=PICS(3) ON THE WAY=-=- "where the fuck is doyle and clift anyway??????" -=-=PICS(2) ON THE WAY=-=- Early October ?? "Here's some pics from the rugby-broken-sick-deportation weekend. The pics just don't do justice for the scenery off the boat but watayagonado."

Tuesday, September 18th "Hello eveyone! It's very nice to be talking to you all today! What a splended weekend I have had with my new brothers! They have taught me the way of TRUE happiness and love! My search for knowledge and truth through experience was O so wrong! I have now realized with the help of the INTERNATIONAL CHURCH OF CHRIST that the path to happiness is to follow Jesus! I have studied the BIBLE for very extensively in the last three days on our retreat to KONG PONG SOWE! I have takin some beautiful picture for you less fortunate to see! The first one is of the the road to happiness and the sinners that litter its sides! On out long journey we were forced to stop amoung these sinners! The second is of Peter Gill (left) and Willim Fong (right)! And now let us all pray for your lives!"     Saturday, September 15th "Ya know when your lying on your bed naked with the fan blowing at your not-quite drinking an anchor beer watching Popeye at 11 am on Saturday? Do ya ever think "So why’d I shave my head last night again?" "So today’s Saturday. You guys got any plans for the weekend? I’m going down to the beach to go diving with a couple I meet the other day. There both down here working with the church. This is definitely going to be an odd relationship. I gotta go to church with them tomorrow morning cause there leaving right from there, I’m pretty sure this was somewhat of a ploy to get me to go to church and maybe sacrifice me, but we’ll have to see. "Believe it or not this place is after growing an me. It’s taken me two weeks and I’ve finally figured out the secret!.Never go outside! Not from the hours of 11-4 anyway...unless it rains. Anyway, that’s all. Other than that it’s the same old thing here in Cambodia. I’ll hopefully get some good pics when I’m at the beach diving with GOD!" Good weekend everyone Rayzor Sunday, September 9th "Takes too long to attach pics. "Summary "after rain occured after rain "dragon fruits are burnt, taste like chicken "kid in chair "monsoon is me on the roof during a storm, nothing in the background so can't tell how bad it is. "went raving in Cambodia last night. "gotta go to the beach next week to do some dive-down." lader ray 
 
 Friday, September 7th "OK, so it's Friday afternoon., TGIF in Cambodian. What to do... what to do...... Tiger sounds good about now, hold on.........pppppsssssssssst! OK, so its Friday afternoon in Phnom penh, Cambodia. What to do.. what to do............. Ya know...there's nothing better than a 34 degree Tiger beer after a hard weeks work. ...Hmmmm........to do..to do...Oh, yea! I got my hair cut today. Do ya want to here about it?.... OK, good. So I've been thinking about getting my hair cut. So I hit the road to see if I can find any Herbal essence shops around....but much to my disbelief there's none around. So I see this shop just around the corner that looks....well .... like a barber shop, so I go in ( sorry this story's gonna be really shitty but its all I got ). I go in and the guy sits me down, throws a few sheets over me and begins taking out some tools..., I think one of them was a rock? Anyway, away he goes. He's using clippers sometimes but they weren't motorized, they were hand powered ones and worked the same way those forearm builders do. I just wasn't getting the full hair cut experience so I told the guy I'd throw in a extra couple of riel if he'd go "Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!" as he used em' ( kidding ). Anyway, so I relaxed back in the chair. The man cutting my hair was busy talking to the other barber in Khmer, which is understandable, so I just watched to lizards crawl up and down the wall for a bit. In a few minutes, it was done, not a bad cut actually. AHHHH!, so now for a quick brush-down and away I go....but no! What's this? The barber in beating on my neck..........OK,. so you get a quick massage after your hair c (SNAP!)...... HUH, my neck flicks to one side and a POP is heard thoughout the garage... . UH. I mean barber shop, sending lizards fleeing for cover everywhere... So apparently barbers double as Chiropractors here. Anyway, one more snap the other way, and a CRACK! on each ear ( It can be done! ) and the deal was done. And here I am......what to do, what to do!...F*CK THIS. I'M GOIN' OUT TO GET INTO SOME TROUBLE!" "Have a good night tonight guys, and have a guiness for me." Wednesday, September 5th "What's up? "Just another day, another riel here in Camobia.. "I got some pics of the University. Sorry that I suck at taking pics.." 
 Sunday, September 2nd "OK. I admit I went though some culture shock yesterday...... actually I went through enough culture shock for almost every foreigner in Cambodia yesterday, but today has proven to be a new (and better) day. There's nothing quite like a Tiger beer and good night sleep after being mugged by small children and shit, I always say? After my nights sleep I woke up with a feeling of.......well, dread actually..but that's beside the point. "After a breakfast of some beef noodle soup (Not as good as pho 99 andy and sharif, don't worry) I decided to force myself to take my second solo mission around the streets of Phnom Penh. I snapped a few pics, which I sent earlier and return unscaved, although I think there's a lady on the street corner over there who finds me quite attractive. I called my friend samphal from the university and we went site seeing for a few hour (although I barely know up from down here let alone North from south). "Along the way we looked at an apartment he had seen that he thought I might like. After looking at it I decided it was Beud-zoid for my needs and although a far cry from downtown HK, does have a supermarket and pub nearby. Once the money and keys had changed hands I closed the door and sat down. Once the door was closed a feeling came over me that I can only compare (cause I can't think of another analogy) to what the surviving fish at 71 Frecker dr feel like at the end of everyday. after being poured out of their cozy little fish tank with a water filter and heat lamp and into a five gallon bucket used to brew homebrew for the byes at Christmas time......alittle bit out of place but better than the guy floating at the surface. Let's call it bliss." P.S. Hittin the Irish bar for a tiger and see whose around, anyone who wants to join me is welcome. P.S. For fiander: there's a ceiling fan in my apartment which I'm pretty sure was taken on one of the old war helicopters....you'd love it." 
 Saturday, September 1st "K, this place is the most f*cked up place I ever could of imagined. Riggs, it's like the crazy side of Inuvik times one million people, and then give everyone of them scooters. Tell them to tie dead ( or alive ) chicken,ducks,pigs,BEDS, and HOTWATERBOILERS TO THE BIKES. Throw your grandmother or little sister on top and your ready to go. When they turn left onto a street they first go to the shoulder of the left hand side, then ver at a 20 degree angle into oncoming traffic for about one hundred feet until they reach there own lane, only to have people turning left in the opposite direction coming at them in thier lane. Half the road is covered in dust/clay while the othter half is pothole ridden ashphault. Every KM or so is a pile of garbage on the side of the road, which I suspect is to conserve the garbage bag they brough it out in. Throw in a few ELEPHANTS walking around and your ready to go. YOUR GUYS ARE GONNA SHIT YOURSELVES WHEN I GET THE PICS OF THIS PLACE, UNFORTUNATELY THE BATTERYS WERE DEAD AND I'M RECHARGING THEM NOW. P.S. some little ten or eleven year old kid tried to rip me off today when I went for a walk by myself. My contact down here wasn't with me and I wanted to see if I could survive without a translator. The first people I ran into were three little kids, one of them tugged playfully at the map in my hand (the distraction) while the other leaned up against my leg where my one pocket was in my shorts. When I got teh map back I turned and looked at the little boy who was walking glued to my leg. The scary thing is it wasn't until I felt his hand tring to undo the velco strap on my shorts that I realize I was being robbed. Nothing was gone luckily. (silly little kids!) "here's some pics I took this morning. Nothin overly interesting, except for the kid sitting on the wall." 
 Cambode. Game on. Friday, August 31st "K. I made it up. Getting harrased in the airport by armed guards who don't speak english very well while hungover was a little bit too much for me so I had to get a hotel next to the airport. Kind of like the Captains quarters it was only 1235$ hong Kong, about 178$ US. That cuts the money I was bringing into Cambode almost in half, sweet! Gone as soon as I do some money change-down at the forien exchange. Dragon air here I come! P.S. facey, what's peters address, I can't get it right. I'll send you pics of the airport as soon as I get a chance. Talk soon rayzor Friday, August 31st "Whats up guys? "I just got back from DT HK and it seems to have made me kind of tiered. Whats on the go for the weekend? I gotta sleep on the floor here in the airport for the night and then hope I wake up in time for my flight on Dragon Air. I saw one of the planes coming in today and it's not looking good. A bit yellowish as apposed to white plane, good thing I got the partying over with tonight." Sweet Dreams Rayzor Monday, August 27th "Hey guys, what's up? (TAKING A DEEP BREATH) "I'm in Vancouver now at shannon's house with a four week hang-over and on my way to Victoria in a hour or so to see Greg for a night (never a good scene) then back here for another night and then fly to Hong Kong and sleep in the airport for a few days or somin and then fly into Phnom Penh. My bodies already f*cked from the last few days home (three hours sleep the night before I left) and now I gotta a four and a half hour time change and three more days of drinking left here and then a twelve hour time change. By the time I get into Cambodia my whole trip is gonna seem like a dream, then I'll get one good night sleep (probably in the day) and then i'll wake up............In a developing country where everyone stares at you and asks you for money and thinks your a chump and they have no idea what your saying and you have NO idea there calling you a chump. It's gonna be F*CKED!" CAN'T WAIT RAZOR Sunday, August 26th  It's all about the berr-ss. Saturday, August 25th  ah gad Friday, August 24th  Embers snoozin'er bigtime. Gassed. This is a few days before our hero heads off to Cambodia. Apparently he and Emberteen got wiggly tonite... let's see what happened the next morning... Pre-Cambodia. Thursday, August 23rd  Action shot. |
