evenings, though, are far from unexciting. most fellow travelers stuck at this place down illegal drugs (as well as socially acceptable drugs) until the sun nearly rises. i don't blame them considering an ounce of marijuana costs only US$2 and beers range between $0.75 to $1.50 depending on the amount of formaldehyde and like substances mixed skillfully in the beer. it really helps when your guesthouse is owned by a police officer and condones recreational drug use under his protectful watch.

prostitutes are abundant and available at any nightclub in town, costing a mere $5 for an entire night of stirring the diseased pot.

i promised myself only another day of this and then move onto greener scenery in cambodia - that was 6 days ago. i promise myself nothing anymore... but don't cry for me. i'm already dead.
