It's about 4 hours before the inauguration, and we're sitting in the Foreign Correspondents Club in Phnom Penh, watching the CNN coverage and drinking beer (the boys have sodas). It is a lovely open air space, with a view out over the river, geckos on the wall, and fans twisting lazily on the ceiling. Truth is, there are more tourists than journalists, but somehow it's just the right place for this event.
Ok, and real truth...we're not going to manage to see the inauguration or the speech today. Reality is, we'll order some food, and then head back to go to bed. The swearing-in and speech won't happen until after midnight local time, and I just don't see us still being awake. We'll watch replays tomorrow online.
But in the meantime, what a great way to hang out. I feel like a character in a black and white movie.
