julietRight, I finally have all the photos up to Phnom Penh (well, all the ones that I intend to put up) online. Hurrah. Of course, since then I have another 3 weeks' worth which I haven't even looked at, but no matter.
I also now have both of the two essentials for functioning in modern society: a bank account and a mobile.
And I went along to the pub down the road from the hostel, because they had some bands on, thinking to have a beer and listen to some music and head home again. Except I fell into conversation at the bar with a nice chap called Wesley, and then he bought me some beer, and then I bought him some beer, and somehow it was 2am and we'd spent the evening discussing things many and various, including the spirituality of Central Australia, Aboriginal beliefs, the difference between pubs in the UK and in Australia, urban planning, casinos, and race relations. So that was good fun.
The hostel I'm in - My Place - is also v nice. Friendly people, nice kitchen, free breakfast inc pancakes provided (cook them yourself, so not everyone copes particularly well with this...)
Tomorrow I am off to Melbourne, where I am staying with my cousin Carol who I have not seen since she & Mike emigrated some years ago! And Cepheus my lovely bike is there, ready for me to put him back together and then ride to the nearest bike shop to buy a h*lm*t, bah humbug.
