We're alive...barely

We've been in the trenches for the last 48 hours taking sh$t grenades, today we managed to leave the room a few times. We are assuming food poisoning and holy cow it was ruthless. Michael had another ferocious fever that just broke this morning. He told me today that he was in such bad shape he didn't think he was going to live through it that he was mentally preparing to tell me what I needed to do in case of death. I managed to get to a mini-mart to get us some gatorade and crackers, neither stayed down but it was worth a shot. Luckily we've been planning everything day by day since our 2 nights in Phnom Penh turned into 5. We almost bought our bus tickets today but neither of us are 100% and Michael still hasn't kept any food in. If this keeps up tomorrow we're going to the clinic.

This afternoon we made it to the Russian Market where you can buy Western clothes and motorbike parts. We finally saw our first garment factory on the bus ride here. All those clothes that say made in Cambodia, Thailand, Laos we were wondering where they are actually made. Michael picked up two pairs of plaid shorts and a Burberry wallet which he's so excited about. Mr. Blue loves his plaid and he's always drooling over Burberry so now he's got it. He also picked up what he read was the best ice coffee in Cambodia and it came in a bag, double score!! After some rest and a few trips to the bathroom we decided to head to the indoor air conditional mall and were able to catch a movie. We saw The Grey which wasn't very good.

Tomorrow will be another recovery day and if Michael can't keep any food in we'll seek medical attention. I've got a massive headache, we are in bad shape.

Fever broke or weather? I'm going with both but Michael sweat right through his clothes today, locals were pointing and laughing
