A Kenyan in Cambodia

Phnom Penh has an amazing night life. Amazing because there is something for everyone. If you are a high roller and wants to drink high end cocktails, eat super expensive food, dance the night away with other high rollers...there is something for you. If you are a mid range kind of person who doesn't want to spend too much on a meal and drinks, but also doesn't want to go somewhere full of backpackers, there is something for you. If you are a cheap kind of person that wants to spend as little as possible on food and drink and doesn't mind that you are not rubbing shoulders with diplomats etc, don't mind doing balloons with a few backpackers, there is something for you. Now now I am very cheap, I try to spend as little as possible when I go out (when I was jobless for like 8 months, I learned how to be cheap lol)  I do indulge once in a while, usually in expensive bars but not expensive/high end restaurants, but as a teacher, my salary does not allow me to consistently e...

Hi beautiful people, remember how I said Ill do a few catch up posts? Well this is one of them. I went to Koh Rong last year in April, it was my second island to visit here in Cambodia, and it is then I fell in love with Islands. The crystal clear water, the white sand, the lack of huge crowds of people...the list goes on. Now I have heard that a lot has changed in Koh Rong and that it is not the somewhat quiet, clean, island that it was a year ago, so I will refrain from saying much about my stay there as it might be inaccurate information. We got to Koh Rong via the slow boat coz there was no speed boat then and it took us about 3-4 hours. Now you can get a speed boat for 45 minutes( although I have heard crazy stories that now they are carrying so many people on the speed boat- uto 70?- that some people have expressed safety concerns. This is so sad)  Anyway my friends and I stayed at  Treehouse Bungalows  and it was amazing. Well the roo...

How beautiful is that?! Hi wonderful people, so I promised you a post about my get away to Koh Rong Samloem island remember? Well I am keeping my promise you guys :) Last month over the new year holidays, a group of friends and I decided to escape the city and go to a paradise like island here in Cambodia called Koh Rong Samloem. Now this is not to be confused with Koh Rong, this is a different island about 1 hour away from Koh Rong. It is smaller, quieter and with fewer backpackers, fewer hotels, just amazing. I have been to Koh Rong as well and maybe ill write a post about it just for comparison purposes. Now Koh Rong Samloem is 4-5 hours off of Sihanoukville by the slow boat, or 1 hour by the speed boat. The speed boat is definitely more expensive,at $30 return, but definitely worth it. Koh Rong Samloem is absolutely beautiful! The water was clear, the sand was white and so clean that it squeaked with every step. It was unbelievable! On the speed boat. Just got off ...
