Settling Back In

The first hotel that I checked into, "Silver River" on Street 172 is a Nigerian hangout, meaning that I risked getting my door kicked in. Of course had I taken up my friends on their kind offers that was another risk of the same type. As luck would have it 2 days ago they nailed 3 men from a northern province with 1.4 tonnes of cannabis. Locals didnt appreciate the competition and so 3 men will spend a couple of decades in stir if they lack the cash to bribe their way out of it.

I decided to leave Silver River and checked into the Phnom Penh Hotel on Monviong. This used to be one of the top 2 hotels in Cambodia. Today? A couple of weeks before flying here I spent a few days in Chicago. I stayed at a "Hampton Inn" motel in the suburbs and it was a world ahead of the Phnom Penh! Would have loved to go to my old haunt the World Star but it is gone as well. Progress as they say.

Im happy with my new digs but have began searching for a flat. Saw an OK one this morning for $250 US per month. Way overpriced for Cambodians but then Im not a Cambodian. I will decide by Monday.

I bought a few boxes of Dihydrocodeinone, the French brand "Dicodin," by Mundipharma. 20 tablets of Time Released 60mg per tablet. Of course I bought Promethazine tablets as well to boost the conversion into morphine. I took 10 tablets Dicodin and 3 Promethazine and vrooooom. Usually though I am making do with #4. I would love to post photographs but do not know how to do it on here.
