After posting our last blog (only yesterday) we have received a number of questions. Rather than answer these individualy we've answered them all below.
1. Yes, there are more S class Mercedes in Phnom Phen than any other city in the world.
2. No, we didn't stay at Raffles.
3. We travelled to Raffles 3 up on a moterbike taxi as we were staying on the other side of town (the wrong side of the tracks). The driver was on the front, Alison in the middle and Garry on the back carrying the rucksack and laptop. Quite an exciting ride as these guys are happy to go the wrong way down a one way street, ride on the pavement and ride down the wrong side of the road.
4. To pay for our little venture to Raff's we asked the driver (see above) to stop at the International Bank of Commerce. There we negociated a loan with the IMF (International Monetary Fund). At first the IMF were reluctant to give us the cash but when we pointed out that if they got their finger out we could make "Happy Hour" and the drinks would be half price and we would probably get free nibbles they gladly parted with the wonga.
5. The IMF have now asked for the money back as they need it for another project. They have threatened us with the heavy mob (see picture below) if we don't pay up soon.
6. We have tried to lay off the loan to a number of International Financial Institutions but with no luck due to the Global financial crisis. We thought we were OK when a representative from Lehmans said he would have a look down the back of the sofa for us. Unfortunatetly the federal government had already been there and had taken away all that they found. Apparently they also needed it for other projects.
7. A generous Tuk Tuk drive offered to help but his interest charges (2 coconuts a week) were unafordable for us. Have any of you guys got $55.73 tucked under a matterres somewhere? Wer're under pressure and don't want to deal with the heavies.
8. Yes
9. No
10. 43

Below is the last known picture of the IMF heavies. There's a rumour that they are somewhat disabled at the moment as their leader is being held hostage by a pig.

Plan B is for us to escape to the mountains using our get away vehicle pictured below.

As you can see we've been practising and we know how to use this vehicle to the max.
Bye for now. Will update you when the heat is off.
