Which Way To The Beach?

I definitely did not expect to wind up this summer lazing around a beach on the south coast of Cambodia, but I guess that just shows you never know where you are going to end up. This past weekend most of the interns got out of the heat, noise, and smell of Phnom Penh for the small town of Sihanoukville. We took a cheap but decent 4-hour bus ride and had a great weekend doing nothing but hanging out on the beach, swimming, reading, and relaxing.

Grace, Jenny, Carlton and I were lucky enough to snag rooms at a great little bungalow guesthouse literally about 10 metres from the beach. The first picture is essentially the view from our rooms. And, better still, the rooms were dirt cheap, which is kind of the theme of things in Cambodia.

Anyway, it was great to get out of town, recharge our batteries, and have some fun. The last two pics are continuing the ridiculous trend Ariel, Carlton and I started of the mustaches, but also with very silly Hawaiian shirts and shorts we picked up at the market before we left Phnom Penh. As you might expect, we got a lot of strange looks on the beach, but it really wasn't that far from what a lot of other people were wearing...

Did I know that Kevin O'Shea had chest hair? No. Did I need to know? Sure didn't!!! Seriously, O'Shea.

The chest hair is drawn on with a marker, isn't it, Kevin?
