Bye bye Laos, good morning Cambodia

After 3 months in Laos, my mission makes me move to Phnom Penh again, staying there for the next 3 months. My new environment is totally different compared to Laos: I live quite far from the office, i share a flat with 3 other people, i work with 5 people (only 1 in Laos), etc. I enjoy Phnom Penh better now than in january, maybe because i'm more prepared to it now. I made new cambodian friends, all speak french and enjoy going out. Yesterday they took me to a nice restaurant over a lake, then we went to a very big disco called Spark, 3 times as big as the biggest disco in Vientiane, impressive. Before that i went jogging in the streets at 5pm, people around me watching me in a strange way saying "only a crazy foreigner runs by 35*C". I was in Phnom Penh for 8 days and i havent done any sport yet, so was the good time on sunday afternoon. After 20 minutes of running, i found a parking lots where teenagers were playing football. I watched them for 15 minutes before they ask me to join them (500 riels of entrance fee). I won twice and lost twice in spite of 1 last pass and 3 "sombrero tricks".
Today i do not work thanks to Easter day, the embassy is closed
