So it's definitely true that you never know whats around the corner when you're traveling. I arrived two days ago with no idea what I was going to do and now I've got a $30 flight to Cambodia with a fellow traveler I met yesterday. So surprises, surprises. I met a good group of people at the hostel and ended up going to huge weekend market with them today where we wandered around hundreds upon hundreds of stalls of cheap stuff. I got all my shopping jollies yesterday so I don't have any space in my bag, so I didn't buy anything. In any case, I did enjoy a wonderfully amazing mango with sticky rice, the ripest mango I've ever eaten, just fabulous!

So I continue to feel fortunate and things have gone well so far. I now have to go to the hospital to get anti-malarial medication, which is quite fun since everybody gives you a different opinion, from your fellow traveler to your pharmacist (and different pharmacists), so it can be quite frustrating, so I think I'll just do it properly and go to a doctor and hopefully get this new stuff with less side effects since malaria tablet side effects are normally not considered fun. I won't be in considerable risks zones for extended periods but malaria isn't quite something all warm and fuzzy that I really want to get acquainted with.
