How to be freezing in Cambodia!!

Having gone back to the U-Dara last night, having been kicked out for one night, I was given one of the better rooms.  Yeah?  Better was slightly larger and a shower over a bath that you didn't have to hold  in your hand.  Only problem was it was connected direct to the mains rather than a water unit and the Cambodian version of hot water is not the same as ours!  At best we could call it tepid, but with the air con up high during the night it felt freezing and I was jumping in and out of it.  Had goose bumps on my body.  Now you don't see that often in Cambodia.   Bring back the hand held warm shower!!  Mentioned it this morning and the fact that the toilet itself was definitely not clean, but I'm not expecting much difference when I get back.  Such is life in Cambodia.  Think I will see if I can get some toilet wipes in the supermarket on the way home and do my own cleaning!!  Or is that too OCD!!! 

Now, having experienced a far from clean toilet, a cold shower and knowing I am going to spend two nights roughing it on a boat on the remote part of the lakes, this morning I have thrown caution to the wind a booked a four star hotel, with pool (!!) for my last 6 nights.  The excuse being that I am treating four days of that as holiday (albeit I need to meet up with the Doc Jon to do final breifings at least once during that time).  Luxury is only around the corner!  Although given the experience I have had of bookings in Cambodia I am going to pop in to the hotel on my way home tonight to check they actually have my booking.

Another fact of being in Cambodia or countries like this at all....today I am sitting at the desk with the shortest running distance to a toilet, one that flushes that is, as some idiot blocked one of them two days ago, wonder who that could be!! (Well, this not putting your paper down them is hard to remember!!). 

Today I am going to pretend I am an auditor, which being a management accountant I am definitley not, but nothing like developing new skills!  I have e-mailed Chantha my to-do list today, which sounds ridiculous as we sit next to each other (when I am not hugging the desk closest to the toilet that is) but we do struggle on the verbal communication.

So off I go to follow through a purchase order trail, stock inventroy and petty cash.  Hey bet you wish you were here!!
