Life in Phnom Penh   
Singapore, Singapore
August 6 to 10, 2009

Fitting that Angelina's Orphans, our Cambodian utlimate team, got hammered in a city infamous for "caning".

Nope. We didn't do so hot in the Singapore Open. But we still had a blast, got to know some fabulous people, ran around and got exercize and managed to find some relatively inexpensive things to do in one of the most expensive cities in the world!

We rented bikes and cycled around an island off the coast, ate copious amounts of Indian food in Little India, giggled at Singapore's hilarious "Don't you dare" signs, basked in the frigid AC of several malls along Orchard road, and raced down waterslides at the cleanest swimming facility we've seen this side of the Pacific.

It was surprisingly refreshing to spend 5 days in the spic-n-span city with its 7/11's stocked with familiar treats, McDonald's McFlurries, public transit and drinkable tap water.

But also good to come back to Phnom Penh. And we're already scheming the next utlimate tournament we can get to!

We were definitely disappointed not to be able to join you as well.....next time. Things are going well here. We are settling into our place quite nicely and we are enjoying exploring the city. We have been getting around quite nicely on our bike, but it definitely sucks when the rains pouring down!!

Even though you inflict yourself with this game, and even though you got smoked, I still really like you and miss you. :)Lisa

Yes, that sign demonstrates how to and not to go down the waterslide. For real!
