Hulk Hogan aint got shit on...

I spent a few days in Battambang not doing anything. I justified this by telling myself that I have so much time, not all which can be spent doing things. On my last day I broke down and took and overpriced moto-tour to some sights around the city. They were mildly interesting and of course I had to give money away left and right. The best part of it was the bamboo train. Now first, I want you to imagine what you think a bamboo train is like. go...

Ok Now I will tell you what it is. Basically, you rock up to the train tracks and tell the guy you wanna ride the bamboo train. Then he builds it. It is comprised of 4 main parts. There are the two sets of wheels, the bamboo platform (placed on top of the wheels) and a motor, which is controlled by the conductor at the back. Then this shit flies down the track. The dude was pulling my arm to stand up so I did. This was fun for a few moments until the train hit one of many bad sections of track and I nearly fell off and died. After this I sat down, the thing was so shaky I almost lost my flip flops several times (as in like lost them off of my feet, yea, that shaky). Also, you don't want to encounter another train coming from the other direction. In this event, the train with less weight must disassemble so the other train may pass. Luckily we had a motorbike on ours and did not have to do this.

I was by myself in Battambang and was fairly bored, especially at night. I would have liked to go to a bar or something but the one supposedly good one was way across town and there were no street lights. So instead I stayed in my room, smoked weed from a bone pipe, and watched black and white Japanese pro wrestling. If you've never seen this then, wow, lemme tell you, its amazing. Maybe it's just because I haven't watched wrestling since I was a little kid, maybe it's cause I was stoned off some fine Cambodian marijuana, but this cracked me up. It's all the crazy staged antics you would expect from normal pro wrestling multiplied ten fold. They mostly just slap each other in the chest.
