Not much to report so far...

It's been pretty quiet here in Phnom Penh. We arrive on Tuesday, and since then I've been pretty much lying low. I'm ok with that though - I found that in Bangkok, I just focused on my work during the week, and on the weekend had enough time to see everything I wanted to see. I do have a few things planned for this weekend and I am looking forward to them.

I also managed to do something to my knee on Tuesday after I got here. Once I got settled in to the hotel (which sadly, is nothing like the hotel in Bangkok - it's more like 70's era Holiday Inn furniture and bathroom), I decided to go for a little walk, and see what was in the near vicinity. Well, there isn't much, aside from the tuk-tuk and motorcycle taxi drivers every 10 feet, each of whom as if I want a ride. I came back and had lunch at the hotel, and when I got up, noticed something not right about my knee - it had all of a sudden swollen up and I could barely walk. I hobbled back to my room, barely, to assess the situation. Ice was order from room service, and I spent the rest of the day with my leg up in bed. It's still a little swollen, but today I was able to walk fairly normally. I'm hoping that by Saturday it will be doing even better, and I'll feel like I can go out and see some stuff. I have to admit, even in Bangkok when it wasn't swollen, I was disappointed that I couldn't do as much walking as I might have been able to a year ago. Just something I still have to keep working on!
