Letter in a Bottle - from Scandinavia to Sihanoukville
More fun news: A message in a bottle sent from a kid in Norway was found by a bar owner in Sihanoukville. Cute story.

Bottle letter from Norway found in Cambodia
by Gregers Møller • June 27, 2016 • 0 Comments
In the summer of 2013, the seven year old Mingus Lund threw at Coca Cola bottle with a postcard inside into the ocean by Geitskjæret on Nøtterøy near the town of Tønnsberg in Norway. The photo showed the famous cliff Prekestolen in Norway. On the other side of the card, Mingus wrote – with the help of his cousin:
“Hi, I am a seven year old boy. If you find this bottle, I hope you will reply to me.” And then the address of the hotel, where his family were staying and where they stay on vacation every summer.
Almost three years later, Mingus has now received a reply – from a bar owner on Serendipity Beach in Sihanoukville in Cambodia.
“Hi, My name is Cho Chum and I am 37 years old,” he writes – possible with the help of a tourist.
“I found your bottle while I was fishing outside Koh Rong. You card has been hanging in my bar since I found it. But some days ago, two Swedes translated it for me and told me where Norway is. The bottle has traveled a really long way. Yours Cho Chum and the address: Serendipity Beach, Sihanoukville, Cambodia.”
