I went to check out a new bar in Phnom Penh, Cambodia with a few of my colleagues. It was a nice with good interiors. While enjoying the music, a guy started to create problem when they handed him the bill. He started to fight with the waiter and the security took him out of the bar. Then few minutes later, we heard around 5 gun shots!!! It was my first time hear the real gun shots!! I was so shocked and dare not peep at the window to see what happen. I don't know what happen next.. we just called our driver and send us back.... scaaarrry...
