Sherlock Sandy and the Ministry of Puzzles

Hello, Sherlock Sandy here in my oh-so-fashionable smoking jacket... not sure why they call it a smoking jacket but... I received another envelope from the Ministry of Puzzles today...

Once again, it bears the mark of...

The Bearhood of the Missing Pants...
 

Oooh... another clue!!! If you recall... the first clue was to identify the country in which a famous painting is held... (Norway).

It looks like this week's clue is another country question... I just have to solve a sudoku!

Let's get going!

I'm going to use a pencil...

Any ideas?

Well... I've got one number... it's an "8"!

Huh... the puzzle is almost done and those last two boxes are proving harder to complete!

There we go... 585!! But there is no country with a 585 country code??

See... 585... but then...

 I went back to the letter... notice the boxes with the numbers are coloured...

It's the red number first!!! That means the country code is 855... which is...

Cambodia?!

First Norway... now Cambodia... Is someone's upcoming itinerary? Or a previous itinerary? Site of a stuffie bears conference? Only time will tell... I await the next clue in this mystery!
