Got to Phnom Penh, checked into my expensive, lets treat myself hotel (Goldie Boutique), a bit of pre dealing with bureaucracy lunch and it was off to the Vietnamese Embassy. To my surprise and delight my 3 month multiple entry visa would be available the next day. And the following day I managed to get my Laos visa the same day. Brilliant! That said I didn't do half the things I meant to in PP. I did get to Wat Phnom, had a walk past the Royal Palace 
and had a beer at the real FCC - I marked the visit by buying an FCC stubbie holder (my first ever believe it or not!). I finished my book group book and strated a very amusing Kinky Friedman adventure about Willie Nelson and an Indian curse. I got a $4 haircut (quite a successful one too!) and drank beer on a rooftop watching the peak hour traffic around the Independance monument. This lead to an"Ï'm in Cambodia"moment - the point where you pinch yourself, forget the trivalities and and remember where you are.
