Phnom Penh Dangers

Twice I came face-to-face with the dangers lurking in PP. First was when my purse got snatched in St 63, on 3 October 2008 pm. We were about to make a left turn to go to my house when two boys on a moto snatched the purse which Ate Jing bought in Bangkok. It happened so fast, nihapdos pa gud ako samad. Kaingon nuon si Ate Maline, 'ayun nagshopping sila ng purse sa Bangkok para lng masnatch'. Inside that purse was my tinutoran for that week, $14 plus some money so $18.50 all in all, then my film from Bangkok, my new blue marker and my keys. Pati gud ako raincoat naapil. Nasayang lng jud ko sa purse.

Second was last night. I was taking the moto from PP Water Park to Hotel Intercon for Ate Jing's affair there. Gidala man nuon ko sa moto driver sa kalibunan! Baho pa jud basura. I got scared actually. Gusto siguro niya moshortcut. Unya kay lapok man didto mao nilubong ang moto! Walk-outan pa nako, nitamak na lng ko sa lapok. Mao jud na sila, they try to scrimp on their service! R5000 gud to iya gipabayad nya duol ra. La na nuon sya kakwarta. God bless us all na lng.
