Cambodia Postal eeeerh... ''Service''


Alex finally received the postcard I sent when i was in Cambodia, almost two months later. Not only were these the most expensive postcards I've ever sent while on holiday ( 1 USD for a stamp, even though the value was only 0.5 USD - bloody ripoff), they're also the slowest ones to arrive.

My guess is that they've sent a postman on a bike from Phnom Penh to Hong Kong to deliver it :)

*** UPDATE 15/12/08: my mum let me know that my card to them has arrived too. It was stamped 27/11/08 - means they kept it lying around in Cambodia for a month and a half :)

Chill...

At the beginning of the week the temperatures in Hong Kong suddenly dropped to 16-23 degrees. Flip flops disappeared, and all of a sudden everyone was wearing jackets, scarves, long trousers... And then there was me at the same bus stop with these people, wearing shorts, t-shirt and flipflops. Thought it was quite nice, to be honest, really mild weather.

Not looking forward to the weather in Europe in December though. Sending my big winter jacket to the dry cleaner this weekend, I will be prepared...
