Got into Tapei at 530AM local time, grateful to get off that horrid longhaul. I was impressed with the construction at the airport and for the first time had to connect in another terminal. Took the tram and at 740AM I boarded for Phnom Penh.
A bland meal of an onelette, a chicken sausage, fruit salad, hot roll, fake orange juice and a real, concentrated apple juice. Blaaaah.
Got to Cambodia just after 9AM which was alot quicker than I recall it being. I know a few people at the airport so skipped passport and customs. In 3 days my passport will be delivered with a 6 month business visa, now called "special visa." Usually you pay $35.00 and get a 30 day special visa. At 30 days you can then opt for up to a year, costing nearly $300.00. My 6 month costs me $20.00 for the commamder of the airport Immigration unit. My friends do not accept bribes from me but they cant get around the big kahuna, or rather, they could but if caught they would be in serious trouble.
Since the Lake is gone I no longer have a need for World Star, a great little hotel on Monviong Blvd. I like to be where it is at if alone and so I found a nondescript place by the river. I will not give the name, street and/or price until I move from it for obvious reasons.
Currently Im exhausted, hot from an hour and a half in heavy traffic sitting in a tuk tuk in which I sadly noted that Phnom Penh now rivals Manila for smog, progress as they say.
Sitting naked on one of two twin beds watching cable and waiting for a coca cola to nearly freeze in the mini fridge. After I will wash up and then go see a couple of friends, cop some #4 of course haha and grab a bite to eat.
