Okay, let us begin with a link \u2013 to the best news story of the year; maybe the decade or even ever<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement officials across the country are puzzled<\/a> over a crime wave targeting an unlikely item: Tide laundry detergent.<\/p>\n

Theft of Tide detergent has become so rampant that authorities from New York to Oregon are keeping tabs on the soap spree, and some cities are setting up special task forces to stop it. And retailers like CVS are taking special security precautions to lock down the liquid.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Go read the piece in its entirety. You will be loving your life!<\/p>\n

Now then, a few more words about the ride from Poipet to Siem Reap. First, baskets:<\/p>\n

\"baskets\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Second, that I done neglected to relate a pretty funny story told by the American. The Germans, like myself, had taken the train from Bangkok; the American the bus. He’d been staying close to the terminal, so it’d been a convenient option.<\/p>\n

I asked him how the bus ride had been, and he told that they\u2019d stopped for a shitter break, and he\u2019d taken fifteen minutes or so puking out some kind o\u2019 somethin\u2019 he\u2019d eaten in Bangkok the night before.<\/p>\n

After which, he\u2019d found that the bus\u2019d gone and left without him. He\u2019d then asked the clerk at the restaurant at which they\u2019d stopped what was the deal?, and the clerk\u2019d called up the bus driver (the American knew not how the clerk\u2019d obtained the driver\u2019s number). The bus\u2019d then pulled over to the side of the road, and a guy had ferried the American to the bus via motor-car.<\/p>\n

I asked if everybody had clapped when he\u2019d returned to the bus; but he said that nobody had seemed to even notice his absence; but they\u2019d all given him a strange look when he\u2019d got on \u2013 apparently never having seen that particular bus pull that particular manoeuvre before then.<\/p>\n

Friday night, after checking in, I wandered\u00a0 over to the Market to grab some food. Here we go, two blokes playing some Takraw, but with an elongated shuttlecock instead.<\/p>\n
