Cambodia

I went to Cambodia over the weekend.
I enjoyed myself every minute that i was there.

How we got there.
Air Asia. Flight delayed for one hour. But it was all good as myself, Bo and Vero were high.

First Impressions.
FRESH AIR =D. I kinda expected to see what i saw so it wasn't shocking.



What we did.
ALOT OF THINGS !!
Okay, I can't remember exactly in sequential order but we went to the Royal Place, National Museum i think it is called, Silver Pagoda.
We also went to the killing fields, Cheung Ek, and the place where people were tortures, S-21.
Uh, i really did feel horrible when i saw all those skulls. I have never, ever seen anything more gruesome in my life. I felt horrible for all those people, killed just because they were intellectuals or of a certain race.
At S-21 things were a lot more intense. Looking at all those pictures i was just erupting with emotions. Sadness, Anger, Horror, Disgust, SICK. I couldn't bear being in some of the rooms as it was just too much. The torture those people went through was truly unbearable and so BARBARIC. What kind of a human being would do that? UGH. I wish people like that never existed. A waste of air.
We also visited a few temples on the top of a hill. We met some very nice kids.
We went to FCC. Federal Correspondents Club to watch football and i had a margarita. We also went to this club that was floating on the river. I was exhausted and wasn't feeling it at all ! Depressing !
We also went to an orphanage. That was really nice. The girls were singing songs and stuff, it was cool. We sang a song too, If ur happy and you know it. They sang it too, but in a different language.

Cuisine.
FISH, TOFU AND GREENS. UGH. It was nice, for two dishes. It got too much after a while. We saw KFC and it was like halleluja FINALLY chicken ! The KFC was actually reallllllly good. WAY better than Malaysia. And i also enjoyed their tea thingy.

People.
They were all very nice and very friendly. They could speak english as well as french. I am sooo jealous. The kids that we met at the temple place were really friendly and nice. They were so happy to see us and they talked to us. It was sooo cool. It was sad tho when we had to leave them. I really do want to meet them again.

What I enjoyed most.
I enjoyed going to the orphanage and the kids at the temple place.
I enjoyed the bus rides. They were crazy and so much fuckin fun !
I enjoyed the KFC. xD
I enjoyed walking on the streets like a local, except that people stared, which was kinda cool.
I enjoyed going on the tuk-tuks. FUN !
I enjoyed most of what i saw, with a few exceptions (LADY BOY)
I enjoyed having the HAPPY HERB PIZZA. I was spaced out in the bus, you guys didn't know. xD
I enjoyed making new friends and meeting all the awesome, cool people that i did.

All in all, this was an excellent trip and i will never forget it. I definetely want to go to Cambodia again.
