Backpack!!!

I would like to take a second to imbue onto you a very important lesson I learned this past week: When in Cambodia you should make sure you do two things if you don't want to lose anything. First, you must always remember to keep an eye on your belongings, and never let someone else take care of it, even if you know them well. Second, make sure it is always in a safe place, (the roof of a car is not a safe place.)
I failed to do both of these things and as a result some lucky Cambodian person has a brand new back pack, equipped with a roll of duct tape, an infrequently used retainer, two pens (one of which is broken), two bracelets (óne with Ellie, the other with Harry embroidered in it), a bottle of Ibuprofen, a chinese cell phone with a cambodian SIM card, and a Camera chock full of pictures of someones trip to CHina...
Oh yes, I lost my backpack. And oh yes, my camera was in it... And why of course, it was put on the top of the car, and later fell off on to the road... And no, I did not find it... But gosh darn it! I was doing so well this trip...
