After being led to the back offices of Air Asia to check my emails - like a friendly Ryanair - it turned out that my visa hadn't processed yet and I couldn't go to Vietnam.
So I hopped on a flight to Phnom Penh in Cambodia. The flight was only 50 minutes - same as Manchester to Guernsey - and they managed to fit in a full hot meal and a complimentary glass of wine! I thought a cup of tea and the Guernsey Press was good on Aurigny, but this truly impressed me.
I arrived in Phnom Penh knowing nothing about the city, language, currency. After a crazy tuk tuk ride from the airport I found a bustling hostel on the busy riverfront. It seems to have about a hundred rooms and a bar/restaurant downstairs where everyone hangs out, so it's good for meeting people.
The traffic here is insane - it's like Bangkok on crack. People generally keep to the right hand side of the road, but this is by no means a rule and people have to swerve out of the way of oncoming traffic. There don't seem to be many traffic lights, so at big junctions you just have to rely on your driver to push his way through. So far so good.
Went to the killing fields today. As you can imagine it was an absolute hoot.
