Hello dear readers from the land of Phnomh Penh Cambodia. Supposedly a lukewarm like it or hate it city. It's just okay so far. A lot of pushy touts like in Hanoi. It's same, same but different. (God, I can't believe I picked that up)
Got into Pakse and stayed there three nights. Did Champasak, Bolaven as one day trips individually. Got a little sick. I think that I just didn't get a good nights sleep during that time. Got some Bolaven coffee, which made my bag smell entirely of coffee. Champasak is nice but getting there is a pain in the ass. Transportation in Laos is not all that convenient. But hey, with the friendly locals it seems you'll pay for it anyways.
After 3 days in Pakse, I hightailed my butt to Si Phan Don (4 thousand islands). I had a very basic bungalow with outside shower with little water pressure. It wasn't that bad that there was not much water pressure since all the water was dirty Mekong water anyways. But I had the best view and the family was really nice. I even got to join them for fish barbecue for free! Met a cool Israeli guy and a Danish/French couple.
I hope that everything will work out tomorrow. I don't like tours and I don't like touts.
