Sam goes home

(Written March 16)
It wasn't our first trip together, but it was memorable nonetheless. After making my way solo through northern Thailand, down through Laos, and back to Bangkok at a leisurely pace, I found my head sort of spinning from the quick five day trip in Cambodia with Sam. I have to give him credit though: if we'd gone at my pace, we wouldn't have seen half the stuff that we did. We saw several museums, cruised through some great markets, and of course saw the wonder that is Angkor. We even managed to witness firsthand the corruption of some nasty police looking to make a dollar from a honest, hard-working tuk-tuk driver. If that wasn't enough, we kept this pace despite the food poisoning that wreaked havoc on poor Sam's system.
Historically, he is noted for his ability to fall asleep at a hat's notice when on holiday. He outdid himself this time though, as it seemed like he fell asleep nearly anywhere there was a chance to. Be it at an art gallery, in a ancient temple, or just at the guesthouse, old Sam took the opportunity to rest and recuperate when it was available. For a while there, I thought he was a goner.
I'm not sure, but I think he hates ice now.
Oh, and did I mention that we took turns driving a tuk-tuk? Check out the pictures!
