Cambodia trip update

As i promise, i will now blog about the stuff i encounter and seen in cambodia. This may take up serveral post so i guess this post will be one of the many as 18 days worth of blog post isn't gonna be able to go all into one.

So enough here is my day 1 encounters.

Was very alert when i touch down. Keeping all my personal belongings near me. Was very afraid that it will lost. When i saw the airport, i was shocked that it was air condition and had many high technology. Anyway we cleared custom very fast as one of my group mate uncle was working there and he helped us clear custom quite fast. Once we took our luggage and also the 5 PC's we procceeded to go out. At the gate those which had the PC were stopped as they wanted to check what was inside the boxes. So we with the others bag went out first. Outside there were many people waiting and asking if we wanted tut tut or motorcycle to go around. Saw the money changer there which exchange rate was 1USD to 3800 riel. It was quite lucky that i didn't change as later on i found 1USD to 4030 riel. Anyway after everything was cleared we took a mini bus with all our bags and stuff and off we went to our guesthouse to put our luggage. I took many picture of the sights there and there was this one particular picture which was very amazing.

Here it is :

Anyway, when we reach the place we were going to stay, we were shocked. As our bus were really big, and the alleyway was very small. Its a wonder how the bus driver was able to manuvour out of the tiny alleyway and into the guesthouse. And the people there had such good temper and even helped the bus to sucessfully go in. Anyway we all said that if we were able to do that, then driving test in Singapore would be a breeze.

At first the guesthouse that we saw was air-condition. Then we went to the other side which was just a few steps down to another guesthouse which was non-air condition but had a pool table. As the second guesthouse was actually our selected guesthouse but we couldn't get rooms pre booked. So when we reach the owner told us that he had rooms but we had already paid the first room for a few nights there. So we decided to have 6 people staying at the 2nd guesthouse and i naturally opted for it. When everything was settled, we went to have our lunch at a halal restaurant and then went to KYA or Khmer Youth Association for a look see look see. Anyway don't bore y'all with my work there. So after discussion and talking we went to have our dinner and then to a supermarket to stock up on food we needed for our breakfast the next morning. Saw many stuffs there like McKing which was a direct copy of MacDonalds. Also i bought a show that i am goin to watch today. Well the first day i had alot of mixed feelings like regretting to go cambodia and stuff as i really wasn't enjoying myself. Washed my clothes and off i was to sleep. Was also feeling very hot as the window was spoilt and we had only 1 fan working.
