cambodia

i fear this country as much as i fear nuclear war (and carnies). rumors abound of skyrocketing crime rates and dirt tracks passed off as highways. tomorrow, i find out for myself how bad thailand's poorer neighbor really is. if it costs only about $5/day to get by in thailand, i can't imagine what bargains i'll find in cambodia... dare i dream of prostitutes as low as US$1?

ok ok, it may sound like i may be obsessed with prostitutes but i should mention that one of the reasons i travel is for the cultural experiences. one of the many things i find fascinating is comparing regional economies. a great economic indicator between countries happens to be prostitutes... as well as mcdonald's. the service/product are the same and so should make comparing economies much easier. this also should serve as a disclaimer in case you see more pictures of me chomping on a big mac. it's all for the sake of science, folks.

and to answer the most obvious question you have concerning my fascination with prostitutes is, no, i don't have a nickname for my penis. well i used to call it "the rhomboid" but i'm an adult now.

wait, that's not the obvious question you want an answer to. the answer is no, i have not dabbled in the pay-per-play system so readily available (and affordable, might i add) in foreign countries. when i'm in california, well, that's an entirely different story except in the US, prostitution is legal and is technically known as "dating," or "gold-digging" depending on your slant.

if i die in cambodia, tell them my story!
