Who Is Paris Hilton's New Boy Toy?
THE hostel i stayed at in hollywood USA hostels hollywood is right next to britnay Spears club.. and paris picked up a backpacker who stayed there at the club.. now he has an international career...:)
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (September 25, 2007) - Who’s the new man that Paris Hilton’s been pictured with over the past week?
According to the New York Post, his name is Alex Vaggo, and he’s a 22-year-old Swedish tourist who just happened to be in the right place at the right time!
The Post’s source says that Paris met the hot foreigner on the street near the USA Hostel in Hollywood.
The source tells the Post, “The hostel is $27 a night and they shove in six people to a room. But in the morning there are all the pancakes you can eat. Our friend introduced him to Paris and she immediately took a liking to him. He’s very hot. He’s living much better now.”
Paris’ rep tells the Post, “They are just friends.”

The Post also writes that the heiress is reportedly introducing Vaggo around to Ford Model scouts this week.
For a while in late summer, Paris had been seen out with ex-flame Stavros Niarchos, although the two haven’t been photographed together recently. Vaggo is not the first new man that she’s been linked to since her release from jail. In July, she was seen cuddling with 21-year-old Australian clothing entrepreneur Tyler Atkins in Malibu.
Last night, Paris showed up at an amfAR benefit in New York.

Siem Reap!
So after my lovely time at the Orphanage i wanted some temple life so i headed up to siem Reap as I heard and seen so much of Angkor wat i just had to check it out,!~ i t was a mission getting from Takaka to siem reap firstly it took ages to leave i dont know what they were doing i ws in a time limit and tehy were fluffing around saying they needed one other in the car when i got impatient and threatened to leave for another car suddenly if by magic everyone got in the car and off to phenom penn we went. It was horrible there was tooting by the driver the WHOLE way!There are no road rules in Cambodia you just toot so that motos and people on cycles know that you are behind you and hope for the best. The whole time there was horrible khmer music and some sort of auction of the radio i wanted to throew myself out of the car. After a fast drive to the phenom penn and lost of arguing about drop off as they were told by a man back in Takaka who spoke khmer and english howevr he suddenly forgot where to drop me off and proceeded to drop me off at the clostest point that suited him. I had a bus i had to catch otherwise i would have to spend the night in phenom penn and would stuff up my travel plans as i was running short of time in cambodia as my flight was on the 9th of December from Bangkok- to the USA. Finally i got dropped off at the busstop by a kind man and off i went on the bus to siem reap.
The bus thouugh was awful! it was crampt they playyed Khmer Karaoke music the whole way- it was hot no air con. The rest stops sold dodgy food and stopped in disease infested areas where i got attackeed by mosquitos! had these massive red weltws all over my lega nd arms urg! i was comparing with other backpackers who had the most welts as many people on the bus seemed to be attacked also! At one of the bus stops there was alot of very skinny children bones were sticking out off the skin they were so... thin!I bought a meal for one of the children there as the child was shooed away for walking into the food market but i felt desprately sad for this child he looked sick and hadnt had a decent meal for weeks.
here was rubbish everywhere the sanitation system was mixed in with the trash and you could practically smell the malaria (yes i am taking tablets doxycycline - which make you very very tired but its not 100% effective:)Once arrived in siem reap arrived at popular guest house and yes as its namesake suggests it is popular! I was a little tired so just hanged at the hostel with other fellow travellers felt under the weather after the tiring ride from takeo.
The next day got up ear went to ankor wat temples , angkor wat is amazing it has a very calming spiritual i loved it . people started to say after a while it started to look all the same but personally i think it looked different as some of the photos ive posted on facebook. Some of the temples had amazing trees grown over them , looked voodoo like ... was like a mini maze ... lots of shafts .. like something out of a indiana jones movie.
Going out in siem Reap was awesome .. its style is New or eleans style I HAD SO MANY Magaritias and bloody mary (remmebr richard about the bloody mary meeting) eneded up having a crazy wild night remember dancing on tables to rage against the machine diidnt go to bed till 5am. great night life siem reap. Last minute dramas though- the next day i was very hungover and almost missed my flight - i got the time wrong. the the motorcycle broke down and ahh i was despratly trying to get someone to stoip. finally someone did and got a moto ride to the airport i was abxolutly exausted at this time- sweating like anything then i found out i had to pay a $25 departure tax. i had exchange dmost of my cash to bhat so i was running around trying to find a atm as none would accept my card it was crazy!i finally found one around the otherside of the building then got held up in customs as they were sucpicious of me as i was really nervous and all so they went through all my stuff. i was the last person to board and alas i just made the flight. but when i arrived in thailand i was watched and followed around as they were sucpicious of me and got held up when i arrived, then one of them asked in customs if i had the flu. it was really scary .. thai police are really relaxed or really full on no middle ground. Then i got a free ride whith airport workers to a bus station to ctach a bus to my hotel but i got scammed and had to catch fopur different buses and eneded up miles away from my hotel. i edned up throwing the dramatics and crying causxe nobody spoke english as this taxi driver gave me a ride to my hotel for free. I was so distreessed when i arrived the hotel upgraded me to an executive suite. with two different rooms, phone in the spa bath three tvs , bar everything you could need.
So my sth east asia trip came to a close i miss it already...

Orphanage work.. and lovely children in cambodia:)
Ater my time in shinoukville I then went to phenom penn to catch a bus to Takeo- had a take a stinky bus to the countryside,. Ugh! bus travel In cambodia was not my favourite,,,,,:) on the way from Shinoukville to Phenom Penn there was this cambodian man who kept on spitting the whole way i kept on getting some spit on my arm- i tried asking him to stop it- eventually he got it, The bus from phenom penn to Takeo was slow, stuff , hot and sweaty. I was the only foreigner n the bus aside from Australian guy who was visiting an orphange like me.Finally after a really slow trip and people going off the side of road to take a leak ( no way in hell i wa s doing that- There are still millions and miliions of landmines in cambodia.many not far from the road you really have to watch your step in some parts of cambodia and seeing amputtees was a clear reminder..:)Finally arrived at the orphanage after a a long long bus trip, i was i atown where NOBODY spoke english , it was the real countryside, only one restaurant which an english menu- internet broke down lots and was slow.The place I did the volunteer work was in Takeo town, there was a group of english people that co-ordiante it with the local people that set up the Orphanage. I found that while the british people were welll meaning i found some of their tactics to be "bullying" rather then constructive criticism.Face as most of you would know is very important in Asia and cambodia is no exception.To embarrass someone in front of everyone is pretty poor form - and thats exactly what they did,as they thought it would be productive and they dont listen.Anyways i loved working at the Orphanage - the kids were so affectionate and so pleased to see you it really made their day.We played games,got them to write words in english, got them to draw pictures and explain what it is in english.I love it i felt guiltyleaving the following day when i was leaving they were like "where"s mummy going?"i felt terriable its so hard for these kids they get attached with these volunteers then they leave its so hard for them..:)I really recommend that anyone that goes to cambodia to at least visit an orphanage they dont get much attention and the luch i ate was pretty basic , they wore really grubby clothes they need some loving thats for sure,any love you give is beautiful and they are so appreciative of it. Some of the kids there had been abused or abandoned by their parents so some of them are damaged while others just carve attention as they dont get any. One little gesture towards them and you will get the loveliest hug from them - even in shinoukville the kids lose their childhood there they are out late at night selling stuff sometimes in their pjs! If they dont sell enough stuff tehy get beaten up and they get little love from their parents . I can see why angelina jolie adopted them!Alp=ot of toursits want to adoptcambodian children- i wanted to bring back one on the plane- but no im not sure about taking them away from their homeland even if it brings them a better life.I think there are alot of ethical issues to work through there its a a big decision.
One classic quote was one child in shinoukville was one child tried to sell me stuff on the beach i said to him "sorry ddarling" and he said hahah get this"
.." im not your darling... sorry baby!" I got this from a 7 year old kid! How do they learn this?
Anyways i hope if you visit cambodia please visit an orphange if you can.even if you are mummy or daddy for the day:)

Cambodia- revisted ! Shinoukville- seeya
This is late- im in San Fran but have revist my time in cambodia for my own record amyway!- had a great time in Shinoukville last day I went on a "booze cruise" which was run by this wicked bar sessions by these crazy english guys from halifax.The beaches were so cool there deserted , t was like something out of the beach movie with leonardo - guys jumping off rocks- no other people to be seen - then stopped at a Island which ahd crystal clear blue water like the pacific islands and nobody to be seen, nobody selling stuff , no touts noone . Just lots of backpackers getting really really drunk:) Sessions bar rocks- i went tehre twice and after that i was treaed like a local. The bar has a tree hutt which has cushions and pillows and a buucket that goes up and down which they put the beer in. there are also swings with comortable cushions just by the water . Divine Bliss. .)Many backpackers who were going to stay in shinoukville for a few days have now been there for months even a year! some are opening bars of their own. Basically Shinoukville is Thailand 20 years ago,.low development, , low westernization, deserted beaches. Ganja is smoked very very opemly there in restaurants and guesthouse restaurants. i think thats appealing to some backpapckers considering the severity of being caught in Thailand Was sorry to say goodbye to Shinoukiville. Sayonara- see you again one day:)

US marine drinking invasion of Shinoukville
Well not quite. The US marines have arrived in shonoukiville Cambodia for the first time in 30 years and have taken over the entire town/resort. Have bought alot of money into Shinoukiville though- what i have been laughing at though is that they all dress the same - so conservative well predictably, saame haircut same - jeans too baggy around the behind a tight belt right up high, white sneakers or work boots and T SHIRY TUCKED in- T shirts tucked in... how nerdy . . hahha :we were mocking these helicoptor pilots the other nights their dress code they were going on about the war "how they blow some shit up in iraq ," then fly back. you guessed it exciting stuff. they showed photos on their sship holiding AK47 it seemed like somthing out of the movie Platoon you know the movie with charlie sheen ( in Phenom penn you can shoot a Ak47 for $30 US at a shooting range) and then going on how bad the iraqis are all night . They are apparently trainin the south Koreans and cambodians - droppoing off food/supplies to kid s apparently- as what i saw on on one marines piolit camera.
I met some marines from south carolina , jacksonville and georgia who had never heard of facebook. . Met some ex gang members from the south side of san diego who were the now military police who had to round up all the kiddies (marines!) before 12 midnight becuase then they go and sleep back on the ship.these guys on the first night here were out oof control hadnt seen women for a while - there is about 3,0000 of them in this small town / beach resort so they stood out thats for sure.
well I've enjoyed my time here in shinoukiville but moving on- tromorrow going off on an island cruise round differrent island"s snorkling off the coast of Shinoukville then vback to phenom penn then im off tyo Takeo which is two hours north of Phenom Penn to volunteer at an orphanage - im really looking forward to it after partying a little bit too much . its been fun though .
till next time

Cambodia!
Hello!
my first blog post! After three nights in bangkok Khao san road (foreign backpacker ghetto) which to me now is like a mini tokyo with the flashing neon, selling phoney ids from media passes to fake degrees on the street, everything black marcket street stalls for twenty cents to gems \scams this is classic bangkok There is actually signs saying "we sell to underages" For those who have been to Tokyo it looks like a real miniture version of harajuku/east shinjuku but dont think the black market exists in tokyo the way it exists in bangkok tho w ell not for foreigners anyway ! , Had massages galore ($3- 5 ) for one hour drinking singa beer for 80c (US) with fellow backpackers who gave me tips about cambodia riding on creaky franrtic public river boats that have little life rafts to visit wats, museums and the royal palce . I flew to Phenom penn from bangkok , A bit of drama getting to the airport though i missed the airpost bus that was meant to pick me up at 5am i slept in I packed up my stuff in record time .. i ended up getting a taxi to the airport oit normally takes an hour to the airport my driver got there in 30 minuites flat in a harrowing drive ! had a dispute over the price as he diidnt use the metere and kept on yelling at me sayting "400 baht "to airport . I was like "meter only"he ended up stopping the car in the middle of the freeway and i almost got out on the freeway as we couldnt come to an agreemnet(crazy!!) . We then came to an agreenent to reduce the fare by 50baht. Once saftely arrived in phenom penn settled into the guesthouse .. got approached by a moto driver that he could take me on a day tour to killing fields and to tuleng sleng prision (where they captured high ranked officials and others before transferring them to the killing feilds for extermination) I hvae found a new passion! riding on the back of a motorcycle- i love it liberating driving round the countrysidea nd in the city (no buses) - (soon im hiring a scooter on an island in thailand - close enough) went to the killing fields yep youve got to see the skellingtons to see it to believe it many of the pits where people were bludgeoned to death are still there- it certainly chills lls you to the core.Phenom penn is intense for the idependent travelller especially if your a woman. Cambodia is an extreamly extreamly poor country especially in countryside and in parts of phenom penn. walking tound is harrowing i get haranged by EVERY SINGLE moto driver that has no customers asnd children gravb onto me not just one but twenty at least, gbegging for money or food. when i approasch a moto driver who normally speaks next to nothing english thwen everyobne within that area comes up and listens into the concversation once i had an audience of entire market, some travellers say some of the behaviour and what the travellers will experience is like India. The look of shock on their faces seeinga western woman is classic im used to it after japan and malaysia, lao, thailand etc but this is is more genuine open mouthed shock like what on earth...? Got some contact details for a orphanage in phenom penn contacted and hopefully doing a day at a orprphanage on my way out of cambodia Got a little tired of being harraged especially evertime I would be eating some food these children will try to be sell me something like blackmarket books normally stuff on cambodia or travellers tales books and they dont leave they sit beside you hoping you will eventually budg eand start to dream away so you end up buying themn a meal . Its pretty sad the poverty here and they are pretty despararte and dont give up easily . So then ended up getting a bus ticket to sihanoukville as had enough opf city life and had two other kids in the seat next to me one cambodian child ended up falling asleep on my lap . Sihanoukville has some me great beaches and wildlife where you can view monkeys and dolphins possibly snakes and tigers too! . We ended up laxing x out on the beach all day today having mango and lemon shakes , and tomorrow may visit waterfalls and national park. Full moon party on the beach 2nite plan to dance the night away on the beach!! have fun!

Our group won and we named ourselves the san- panarama trio!m(as im heading to california , san fransisco intially and they are heading to panaroma ski fields.silly nam ebut oh well) anyway it was a little unfair that had to pull names out of a hat andmy name luckily came out! I won a bungee jump vouncher - (for the auckland harbour bridge! done one in queestown the pipeline in skippers canyon but be interesting to see what its like bungee jumping in a city.
Update: went to bungy jumping, disapointing... horrible walking up the bridge in a hard hat and jumping off something made out of metal bungee jumps belong in nature surrounded by waterfalls and lots of trees! more relaxing!
