I Support:

Phnom Penh to Bangkok

December 14, 2008

I'm running late... but some updated highlights:

- Joey Zehr and I rented motorcycles before the show two nights ago. Traffic in Phnom Penh is maddening. There is no right way, wrong way, or stop. Just go. We made it happen. Crossed a bridge and drove towards the Cambodian sunset that I'm so obsessed with. Almost hit a cow. Saw things I have never dreamed of seeing. Again. Then we bolted back before we missed....

- Playing Olympic Stadium. Awesome. So awesome. Somaly Mam (my new hero- please check out www.somaly.org - I will be talking about her more soon) was hanging out with us before we went on. Some of the girls from the shelter were there. We were floored about this. More floored about raising awareness to stop human trafficking. Shortly after the show...

- Sleep... not a lot, but enough to get me on the flight to Bangkok.

- I LOVE THAILAND. I miss it. It's so beautiful and the vibe is amazing. So hip.

- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7704486.stm < That was happening beneath the terrace of our hotel... I watched... surreally strange.

- The show tonight is about to happen. Please come if you're in Bangkok. We have to leave after this... I'm a bit bittersweet. I fall in love with these places and the people.

- See you soon, whoever/where ever you are.

Oh man, I always wanted to rent motorcycles when I was there. I'm jealous! But I bet you haven't tipped a water buffalo before. haha That's some funny/scary stuff =D

Rachel said: i am one of the singapore girls that watched the small performance that the click five did in the middle of nowhere in cambodia. it was such a pleasant surprise and one of the highlights of our trip. the mtv exit concert in the huge stadium, surrounded by cambodians, all there to support one cause, was amazing. cambodia has taught us alot about people and has opened our eyes to a whole new world. we have learnt alot, and i believe so have all of you. hope to see all of you in singapore soon. keep playing the music, it keeps so many of us going every single day. (:
