Halloween in Phnom Penh and a Bottl'a'Rum
Yarrrrr tis no Halloween wit-out me bottl-a-Rum
What a night we had last night! Halloween in Phnom Penh, Cambodia - why not? Sure, no one else was dressed up, but we had a fantastic time in our pirate costumes that we put together from clothing purchased at Asian women's clothing stores (the funny thing is there were tons of pirate-like clothes to choose from). Amy, in her house-wife amazingness ways, cut us up two eye patches from a vest that came with my shirt.
Meet: Kail'r the Sailor and Shamey
The night before, we'd met some local expats, and they invited us to come to the Pickled Parrot on Halloween for the bar's fifth birthday. Free drinks, free food. Obviously, we went.
It was an interesting (but not new at all) thing to be in a bar full of white men and gorgeous Cambodian women, and their beautiful halfie children (is that un-PC to say?).
We met up with a German couple who we keep running into (we originally met them on the way to Tad-lo, back in Laos). After the Pickled Parrot, they stole our eye patches so that we could all be pirates, and we got a $4 bottle of rum to really live the life of sailors.
Then we hit up the next bar: Sharkeys. Here, we met up with Packo (he's the one who invited us to the Pickled Parrot), John the Baptist (I don't think that's his real name), Angus, and some other guys who teach English in Phnom Penh.

Near the end of the evening, we happened upon a security guard, who wasn't, to say the least, doing his job:
All in all, a spoooook-tacular Halloween in Phnom Penh.
