We’re in Otres Beach, near Sihanoukville, Cambodia. This is a resortey area, but it is the quietest and nicest beach around Sihanoukville.

Jay: So what do you do at this beach?

Me: I don’t know. I don’t know what do you do at any beach. What do you do at the beach?

Jay: What do you mean, “what do you do at the beach?”?

Me: Everyone’s just sitting around! I guess you sit around for a while. And swim for a while. Sometimes you have to eat some food. Then what?

But this confused spell only lasted a short time. So the food is very good, first of all. You can also drink coffee or beer. Swimming is fun. I’ve caught up on all my internetting. You can walk on the beach. Also you can rent things. I went paddleboarding, where you can stand up on a board and paddle like a gondolier. And we’ve played a lot of chess. We’re evenly matched, so that is fun.

We are staying here, “Mushroom Point.” It’s very good.

It’s a nice place! Really relaxed, quiet, not crowded. Spending only two days here is a little rushed, but I could see losing a lot of time if we didn’t have a definite ending point, and there are things to do and places to go! Phnom Penh tomorrow, Singapore the next day, and then Australia.
