It rains in December

Back to rainy rainy days.

Totally contrary to Cambodia, which was dry and cool.

Things I was very glad we brought:
1. Wet towels
2. Tissues
3. Sunscreen
4. Insect repellent
5. Long sleeved shirt

Things we should have brought:
1. Hand sanitizer
2. Those travelling pillow thing

It was an eye-opening experience more than it was a trip that we would rave about incessantly. The sight of poverty hits a sympathetic spot, especially with a country that’s so steep in heritage.

I can’t reflect much on the trip yet, I’m still floating on that bridge between the carefreeness of a trip and reality.

Few of the many shots we took:
The countryside. They were just planting new rice plants so it’s a sea of green

Sunset in the city

The food they were selling on the streets:

Fried spiders

Some roasted chicken thing

The more hygenic food that we ate:

Beef stuffed tomato. Looks yummy, but it didn’t taste that fantastic. It’s rather sweet, like they put sugar in the beef

Beef lok lak with fries and egg, which is like stir fried beef, and chicken amok, which is similar to chicken curry. YUM..

Chinese food!

The forbidden food: chicken and duck blood soup!!

Our modes of transport:

On a seriously overcrowded pickup truck, on our way to the dock to catch the boat to Phnom Penh

On motorbikes! They drive at 40 km/hr

On buses. Loong periods on buses.

so most of the time we will be like that

Tuk tuk

Snapshots:

Roadside wet market. That’s raw meat they’re selling.

The magnificent:

One of the towers of Angkor Wat by morning light

Catching the native Irrawaddy dolphins! I know there’s only a bump on the surface of the water, because wild dolphins don’t jump out of the water like how they do in seaworld.

This is how we take photos with both of us in it. Improvisation is the key.
