Karaoke in Phnom Penh

On Tuesday we caught the bus from Kampot to Phnom Penh. There was a crazy rain storm when we stopped for a break halfway through (around 2pm) - ask us to show you the video when we get home. We got to Phnom Penh around 5 or 6.  We got a shitty tuk-tuk driver who just wanted us to stay at his guesthouse/hotel and wouldn't take us to Top Banana (a hostel that had been recommended) so we stayed at 88 backpackers. It was nice.  We met Hin (a cambodian who had lived in the US), Mike (who is teaching english in Korea) and Greg (from the US, grew up in Europe, trying to get a job in Cambodia). We all went out to Karaoke (except for Greg who had work in the morning).

We rode in the back of Hin's truck across town. Johnny Walker was buy one liter get one free, we had a  crazy private karaoke room, and the whole outfit seemed to double as a brothel. We sang Bohemian Rhapsody twice. Three hours at karaoke, 1.5 bottles of Whiskey, a couple of cans of coca cola, $15 a person. On the way back we stopped for food, Brenda went looking for a hamburger and came back with a baguette stuffed with god knows what - some sort of processed meat. Back into the truck and back to 88 backpackers.

The music videos were very interesting
