For the most part I made good on my pledge to avoid the Water Festival crowds. I remembered why after my 8:40pm walk to/from Lucky Market last night. The street (Sihanouk/63) was one massive gridlocked mess. Wall to wall people, motos, and tuk-tuks. Khmers love it. Why? Anyway, it's over now.Kicking out the Room mate:
After buying my cell phone back from the pawn shop/fence for the 10th time in 3 months, I decided it was time to say goodbye to SK. I've tried to kick her out myself, but she'd just say NO. If I tried to press it, she'd get psycho-violent. Very bad scenes would follow. I knew what had to be done. Everyone has their own to-do-list. Here are my humble suggestions for those ready to press the button on an eviction/break-up:
- Get a Khmer to do it. They'll flip out on you hardcore, but if they are talking to another Khmer, somehow they find reason. (Although she flipped out on my landlord, too.*)
- Do it like a SWAT operation - shock and awe. No warning. Don't give them time to fuck you up - like rob you blind or worse. A chick poisoned me once so she could take care of me, and I wouldn't kick her out. It worked - bought her an extra month.
- Secure any and all weapons in the apt. Wrestling a kitchen knife away from a crazed chick bent on cutting up you and/or herself is no fun. Really.
- When they threaten to kill you or have you killed, remember: they'll never spend their own money to have it done. Knock on wood. (!!!)
- Buy grenade netting and put lights up outside your place. (Just in case.)
- If possible, change apartments and your phone number.

I would say rent every apartment month-to-month. Never sign a long term lease. If you end up with a problematic girlfriend, just send her out for cigarettes on the 30th of the month. When she comes back, you've already moved.
Should have called me; for a bong hit and a lucky hamburger, I would have taken her swimming with the good ole cement flippers.
thanks for the stories that I have tasted for many months...digesting the life in PP and yes your life in PP...and the nice buzzzzz of many new friends last night.
Please keep it UP...maybe paper soaked viagra to write with or computer keys painted with viagra...keeps the fingers hard and working well.

Hmm, I was pistol whipped once by my first wife before I got my loaded semiauto away from her. I was too stupid to just knock her out cold. She was shy of five foot tall and vicious. Considering her later actions I should have thumped her.
