So? What happened then? Was it as good as you hoped it would be?
To be honest, it pretty much sucked.
Partly our own fault and partly down tothe organisation of it.
We arrived late from Phnom Penh, but since I'd paid upfront for the three of us I didn't think this would be a problem.
We missed the first two bars, that said, they left the 2nd bar early (the Emerald Bar) because the staff were incapable of serving the number of people that turned up. Every bar was informed beforehand, but the owner here had to return to Ireland and only left two staff to run the place.
Anyway, we didn't get cards towards our Poker Hand ..... no problem there, we were late, our problem.
We also didn't get the T-Shirts, despite paying for them. They ran out apparently. But since all the barowners wives, girlfiriends and staff were wearing them ..... I can see why!
This pissed me off a little, mainly because i'd 'sold' the event to Dacah and TelF and wasn't happy at the (lack of) organisation.
Next came the food. Two bars were going to give food, the Reef Resort which does pretty good mexican was one of them. When we got there, it was a struggle to get food and what did arrive was hotter than a thai girls somtam! Completely inedible.
Anyway after this, not too mention me the heated debate between me and a drunken, abusive restaurant owner who couldn't keep his nose out of our discussion with the organisers ..... we left the crawl.
To be fair, I got the impression that it wasn't the fault of the two people that initially started to organise the event. Somewhere along the lines it had snowballed and too many people had become involved. This led to a number of brakedowns.
Anyway, we were offered our money back ....... so no harm, no foul.
Maybe sort out a crawl of our own next time though!
