Why 42?

I know weird title but hey. Alright here we go for another post time. It's Friday and I am very happy about this I must say. It has not been a long week or anything, I was sick and that sucked the big beans but I am just happy it is Friday and the weekend.Alright things that happend in Phnom Penh that were news worthy. This story is rather sad and has shocked many people. A 65 year old man on Wednesday went down to a small shrine on the street near Hun Sen's home. He poured gasoline all over himself, knelt at the shrine, prayed and then lit himself on fire. No one knows why he did it or even why he chose to do it there. Though people are very shocked by it. There have been many protests over land here, and some have been very violent. Unfortunatly there have been areas where land mines have been relaid now. It is a very messy time in Cambodia. Because of the drought rice crops will not be good, so farmers are being urged to give up on the rice and grow potatoes. What do I have planned for the weekend, well tonight I have dinner plans with some of my Khmer friends. I love these nights, I really enjoy hanging out with these guys that I go with. Then at the Ginger Monkey there is a Carnival Party tonight... So lots of fun tonight. I should have a Khmer lesson tommorow morning, but other then that I have no really solid plans until Sunday afternoon. There is a bunch of us heading out to the countryside to have a picnic and just chill-out. Oh yeah I'm going to learn to drive a motorcycle! I'm actually really excited about this as it means I will be able to have freedom to get out of the city on weekends if I want to. YEAH! It really is a nice city but if you ask anyone, you need to escape even if it is just for a short while. Hence I am going to Kep/Bokor for New Years/My birthday. There is a huge Rave happening, and it is apparently great. Bokor is a ghost town that over looks the jungle very nice!Hmm... one thing. Weaselking, I love you sweetie but can you please keep your post numbers down or tell me how to make it that I don't loose everyone elses posts. I am able to see 20 of my friends posts and right now 2 are not your posts. This is really my main means of keeping in touch and seeing what is new with people... please don't stop as they are interesting... but could you mabey keep it to 1 or 2 a day? Please!Okay I need to go back for my last hour of work today. Ahhhh... I like Fridays. It's speaking/Conversation day. When all I need to do is talk! It's rather loverly! Okay post more soon, hopefully I can get some pictures up soon. Hugs and kisses, ME!
