midnight 3.30am, woke up, tidy up things and myself, prepared to go to airport. 4am, the taxi arrived to fetch us to airport. First to see my friend’s friends. There were 7 of us in a team But, most of the time, there were 5 of us, the other two like to walk alone,hehee…But, we enjoyed the trips very well. Heheee…..
**********************************************************************************
We stayed Siem Reap for about 3 nights 4 days, and took bus to Phnom Penh in the morning for the 4th day. In Siem Reap, we stayed in Lovely Guest House. In Phnom Penh, we stayed in a hotel named Indochine 2 Hotel and Reataurant for 2 nights. The next day morning we heading to border by bus and then boat, after that, boat again to Chau Doc. Our plan had slightly changes due to out team leader found that the other package was much more cheaper, worthy and safety. The previous plan was not confirm the bus and etc. So, we stayed 1 night in Chau Doc in a hotel provided by the package, named Vinh Phuoc Hotel and Restaurant. The place extremely hot. I hardly slept over there due to my bed no fan at all. Woke up 3 times per night. Luckily we only stayed 1 night. Hahahaa… The next morning, before we went to Can Tho to take bus, we went to Minority village and fish farm. Then, we took a van to Can tho for about 3 hours. We stopped in Can Tho to have lunch and rest for about 45 minutes. Later, we continued sitting in another bigger van or little bus heading to Ho Chi Minh City. It took about 4 hours, not including half hour of ferry ride. Wow…. sitting all the days! Ho Chi Minh City is our last destination. Hahahaa…. We only went to Cu Chi Tunnel and War Museum, the rest of the time we spent in market, shopping, enjoying in Stella Restaurant (we dinner there and listening to the music, took some photos and looking to the street from upstairs for hours, hahaaa…., enjoy!！) In Ho Chi Minh City, we overnight in NGOC LINH Hotel. which we walked for a long time with our luggages to seek for its location. In fact, it’s very near to our place where we landed from Can Tho. Haiz… But, there were good experiences. hehehee……. 
***********************************************************************************
We took 7am plane to Siem Reap. Reached there about 9am (local time, Malaysia time is 10am). there are 1 hour late than Malaysia. After arriving, we heading to our guest house, Lovely Guesthouse. The owner is a lady from French, named Nancy. She is quite a nice person. she is quite friendly and hospitable. We requested and asked her many questions and she tried to answer all of them. So nice!
The 1st day in Siem Reap was welcome by rain. Haahahaa.. We had to change our plan. We went to Tonle Sap Lake travelled instead of Angkor Wat.
*********************************************************************************
People I met during the trip:
hehee, met so many people, especially foreigner from all around the world. I can say. hahahaaa…
the Japanese boy:
He is only 20 years old. Very young, though he went to many countries before. We met him in Vietnam, Ho Chih Ming City or previously named Saigon. He went to if I not mistaken: New York, Australia, Bangkok, I forgot, roughly 10 countries. Wow… He travelled alone for all the trips. Just because he want to learn and practise english. Very brave, he told us that he spent all his money in travelling while his friends bought cars, etc.
I wish I can be like him also, sometimes. Hahaaaa… Can go alone to other country…
A Finland lady:
I nor sure how old is she, around 50 years, I guessed. She also likes to travel alone. Usually she would travel for months, not like us, just a few days. We met her in Cau Tho, Vietnam when we want to go Can tho and Ho chih Ming City. Before that, she went to Sulawesi, island of Indonesia for diving and swimming. She said she really like it very much. Later she will go to north Vietnam and Laos. Wow, another idol… Hahahaa… I wish that I can swim very well, then, I can go island to swim, snookering or diving all the days. I can observe the fish, corals etc down in the water. Wow, feel so good. I want to learn swimming. Hhehee…
Big foot:
hahaa… this 1 actually I didn’t notice him at all. Just because they always mentioned his “name”, hahaaa… he is my friend’s destiny. Haahahaaa….
He’s youngest than us, born in year 1987, according to my frenz, coz she saw his details when we wrote our details in a boat heading to Vietnam from Cambodia, or when we going to border custom. We met him in Ho Chih Ming City also, so, he and 1 of his friend who is skinny than him, together with us came from Cambodia to Cau Tho, and Can Tho and then reached in Ho Chi Ming City. His leg was wounded. And the Finland Lady gave him some plaster or something to cure it. So nice, that’s their first meet also.
Denmark Ladies (2), Australia guys (2), England guy (1), and forgot from where guy, hahaa :
They were carpool with us going to Cu Chi (Guji) Tunnel. They not know each other but still can chat like an old friends. But we just listen to them, hahaaa… They seems like went to many places and countries before from their conversations. Sorry, not meant to listen but they talked too loud, haaahhaa, forced to listen, I just overheard..heheheee…
Ann:
A Vietnam girls from Hanoi or somewhere near Ho Chi Ming, forgot. She’s about 20 years also. She’s still studying. She also travelled alone and she’d took many photos with some foreigners and asked them emailed to her, according to her. heheee… She’s quite nice also.
Vietnamese :
I’ve met a salesgirls in a Market, she can speak English fluently and fast and accurate and sweet. Wow, so good! I wish I can be like her and better than her also, heheee….
I’m not feeling well when we going to Can tho from Cau tho to change bus. I went to a shop in Can tho, luckily I met a old lady who can speak Mandarin. At first, I speak English with her, later on, she found out or guessed I’m Chinese then she asked me whether I’m Chinese. Hahaaa… Then, we spoke Mandarin all the way,I bought some chewing gums and smoked plum from her cost 2000 Dong.
Cambodian:
I met a little girls about 10 year old, I guessed. She told us that she can speak 10 different languages: Sepanyol, French, Thai, Vietnam, English, Mandarin, etc. Hahaaa… But, I think it’s simple words like 1 dollar, you buy from me, etc. Yet, she’s very good also. Life is not easy for them, too many competitors. They have to learn many things to survive.
We met 1 uncle also, he’s tour guide in the morning and become a hawker in a night market, selling jades or bags or shirts, not remember… Hard working… just because of life is not easy, most of them have to work very hard.
Later, we met a girl who also has 2 jobs. She work in a souvenir shop in the morning and after that, she help in night market but I not sure what’s her occupation.
********************************************************************************
We’d took many photos especially when we’re in Angkor Wat ot the first 3 days. The following days, maybe we’re lazy or tired or maybe due to the scenery was not really good, heheheee…. I the one don’t have camera at all (including camera in hand phone). HaHAHA… Therefore, I’ve to always ask them to take photo for me. Many things can be capture as memory, but I don’t have any tools to do it. So, just let it go, hahaaa….Just see how many I can remember, I think is zero. Hahahaaa….. Good, then I can go again, but maybe some dozens year later. hahaaaa….
Overall, I like and enjoyed this trip very well. I felt happy, no need to do any planning,hahahaa…. I just joined it and paid, of course.They are very good, my trip’s members….
Nice to meet you guys！:) Friends, love you all.
Later only post some photos…….. :p
1st day : Tonle Sap Lake
