Phnom Penh

good afternoon!
last day i drove with the bus to phnom penh.
two times i got to a really different places with a motorbike.
so they cannot write and read anything and can not speak english. they always broughtme to another place what they thought that's interesting.
also with showing a map they cannt read this.....
not so easy with them.
yesterday night i visited some bars (walkabout and sharky)
some people are really poor. when i sat down on the street to eat my mandarine a 22 years old girl who is looking for some alloy cans and pet bottles to me and we ate mandarines together, she seemed to be very hungry. she also tried to follow me to my hotel for staying with me. so i decided to go with a motorbike somewhere else. many people are begging. cambodia is one of the poorest country i've ever seen.
this day is sunday and i visited the royal palace and the national museumm

good evening!
this day i drove with my honda cr 250 to the ream nationalpark with a guy from vienna called leo and with linda from pnomh penh.
we had a lot of fun riding through really nice trails and riding on a beautiful beach without any people there. sometimes it was very steep and 2 times we had to drive through nice water-bathes.
i nearly got stucked to one waterplace because i didn't stop and look where is it the best...
it was a really funny day...
Shianknoville rocks a lot!!!

good morning in the first afternoon in 2009! you had a great new years party?
last day there was a great party at the serendipity beach at dolphin shack. woww
this day i rented a dirtbike honda cr 250 from a czech guy called peter near schnitzel wirtin for 15 us per day.
what a nice feeling to drive well balanced (from the hangover from yesterday) and controllable performance - you know.
i drove to the gate 3 at the harbour then right side and drove on a quarry. then i tried to get to the ream national park on the rough road beachside.
but i lost some parts from the front brakes and some cable clip to fix the front cover.
so i went back to the czech rental restaurant and repaired it.
then i drove to the wat leu for some praying with the monks. really nice to pray with them.

this is a wannabe dirtbiker with some hangover

























the guys from the quarry. i let someone try my bike for a round.

fixing the problemes

without frontbrakes it's really dangerous. when i tried to break i realised too late and i drove a little bit too far in some plants from a restaurant :))
