Run-3. 2000 - Phnom Penh, Cambodia
In 2000 Phnom
Penh had the privilege of hosting. Mekong Indochina Hash III from
10th to 12th November. The hosts, Phnom Penh H3, ably misorganised
by Flip Flop, decided to host this event to coincide with the
country’s annual boat race festival. This ensured that the city was
absolutely seething with humanity as an extra one million people
from every corner of Cambodia packed themselves into the already
overcrowded capital city. Hashers intent on escaping the crowds were
frequently found in one of Phnom Penh’s traditional watering holes,
the Foreign Correspondents Club (FCC), from where some of the best
views of the racing on the Tonle Sap River were to be had (not to
mention some of the best cold beers in town).
MIH III was notable for its long meandering runs through the paddy
fields outside of Phnom Penh and the On OnOn was notable for Sister
Mooner from the Yangon Hash helping the YH3 win the prize for the
best skit when she ended it with her eponymous trademark.
