Chinese Newyear

Well here's another day. Today is the day Chinese New Year begins and alot of people participate in the festivities surrounding these days. The Chinese new year became my wake up call today aswell, as alot of chinese people (or people who for some reason feel they need to celebrate Chinese New Year) walked on the street outside Mickes house with dragons, drums, bells and alot more. At 7 AM.
Well, there are worse ways to wake up actually.
But besides that, the day has been rather interesting. We visited Wat Phnom, the place where Phnom Penh was founded. Someone found some religious artifcats in the river so at that spot they decided to build a temple, Wat Phnom. I will upload pictures later as i seems that I can't upload anthing from this computer. There were monkeys, and bats and mosquitos. Other than that, we have decided that we're leaving Phnom Penh tomorrow to Siam Reap, where Angkor Wat lies. After that, Bangkok. It's going to be one hell of a time (and a rather long busride). I will keep this page updated whenever I get access to the Internet. I hope everyone is well back in Europe.
