I also wanted to tell you about the bathroom we stopped at yesterday, on the bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City. Except it wasn't so much a bathroom as a room with a tile floor that slanted slightly to a drain. In one corner was a rather large tub, I suppose you could say, filled to the brim with water, and a scooper of sorts with which to dump water on the floor after you were done. And that was it.
Arriving in Vietnam has done nothing to quench my desire for a motorbike. If anything, it has increased it. As we drove into HCMC last night, the streets were filled with people on motorbikes (sometimes three to four per bike), all wearing helmets of various colors. It was a sea of color, zigzaging across the city. I so want to buy a helmet here for the motorbike I'm getting when I return to LA. After I find a job...
Somehow, way back in Thailand, I managed to change my MySpace account to Spanish. I don't know how I did it, but more importantly, I don't know how to undo it. Ah well. For now, let's just say I'm learning Spanish for my next trip!
I've included a photo here that I forgot in the post about the Temples of Angkor: monkeys! More specifically, monkeys fighting over a bit of plastic. It was awesome. And kind of sad, I suppose. One of them walked up to Jen and tried to steal her water bottle! Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough on the draw and missed the photo op. Next time.

You had me at monkeys. You had me at monkeys...
If I were a monkey I would not try to steal anything from Jen, since she eats snakes. I would also not mess with you, Kristen, either, especially when you get your multicolored helmet and become a big badass biker chick. I'm SO going to try and change my myspace page to spanish.
you know when you go to the zoo and you can get those plastic molds of animals? Well that's what these monkeys are going to mutate into cause they eat plastic.
