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
