I made it out of Cambodia

Flight-wise everything went smoothly...although, as I was leaving Siem Riep a girl got onto the plane wearing a SARS mask and visibly feverish...and of course my flight Karma being so amazing...she sat next to me (well the aisle across from me). The flight attendants were discussing whether or not to let her on the flight but decided since the flight was only an hour long, not to worry about it. So of course I ask to move seats, but therr isn't anything they can do as the flight is full....so I sit and watch her, and think, "I hope to God she just has food poisoning." In fact at the end of the flight I actually asked her friend if it was food poisoning...her friend said (in broken English), "She has the flu"...Yeah, well I hope it isn't bird flu...as we were in an area that is known to have been infected by SARS.

After I got off the flight and felt it would be okay to take a deep cleansing breath of fresh-ish air (I mean, I was still in the airport, just not on the flight with the re-circulated air) I looked out the window and saw the girl being escorted to an ambulance..."Great, just great...I guess it really and trully isn't food poisoning."

On the plus side, I made it safe and sound to Penang, Malaysia.
