Yesterday when I came home there was a note from my neighbor saying there was a package for me at the post office. Today I took a moto to riverside (which is where the post office is) and picked it up without too much trouble. The real adventure was going home. Getting home from Riverside is easy, just tell a moto driver "street 63, Rambo". 99 % of moto drivers know where Rambo Restaurant is. The driver that I found was the 1 %. I told him that and he started going in the right direction and he got to street 63...
Streets in Phnom Penh are strange, this wasn't my street 63, it was a different one. My street 63 goes towards Sorya mall and Central Market or towards Orussey Market (going the other way). I told him to go to Sorya mall (close to my house). We end up at the Russian embassy!!! Then I tell him to go to Central Market, we end up at a place called Phnom Penh Center!!! After a lot of backtracking, I got mixed up and we ended up near MIS! Thank God I knew my way home from there. I was on a moto for an hour and a half, it should've been 10 minutes at the most.
The package was delightful, I got my blanket, some pictures, some gum, prayer flags, a CD, and letters from my family.
That is all I have to report.
Till next time.
