Go Big Blue!
I flew into Phnom Penh last night at about 5PM. Reached my hotel,California2, about 30 minutes later. I checked in and stashed my bags in my room then headed down to the bar to have a drink.
I was sitting there talking to Jim, the Hotel owner, for a few minutes discussing my book, his photography and Cambodia.
I sat there for about an a half hour when two gents sat down next to me. One guy was from Las Vegas. The other gent was a fellow Kentuckian who has a brother living in Shelbyville. We sat there for a little over two hours talking college basketball. The fellow from Vegas had attended UTEP (Texas Western) back in the ’60s. He attended the ’66 Final Four. I was hatin’. Envious as hell.
He lives in Vegas now and is a UNLV fan. The Kentuckian is, of course, a Kentucky Basketball fan.
I’m thousands of miles away from home and sitting there talking Kentucky ball with two fellow fans of the game. How cool is that!
Amazing. Must’ve been fun.
Was cool! I dig it.
Sounds like you had a great time, Dawood! Home is everywhwere for Kentucky Wildcat fans!
Incidentally, My good friend, Dr. Tim Benadum, has a hospital in Cambodia. I am not sure of the location, but he has given his, and his familiy’s, life to it and the indigenous people there.
the Kentucky fans are everywhere even in Romania
