Today has been insane... after my flight from Singapore, I came to my hotel, unpacked a bit and set things up. After I did that, I passed right out.. the jetlag is really coming to me :| After my nap, Meng, who is my guide, brought me to the Temple for dinner... It's so different there, their menu is huge, full of fish stuff and very cheap. What I got tonight here for $4.30 probably would've cost like $10-12 at home. During dinner they have like a dance show where they have different dances... one is a traditional blessing dance, then theres a coconut shell one and a pailin peacock one, they're really interesting.. i'm so mad i didn't bring my camera tonight...
the streets here are soooo insane, there are people on bicycles, little moped type things and all types of cars... there isn't very much structure, especially on the roads that aren't in the tourist area... everyone is alway passing eachother and honking and there are people just walking...i'm kind of scared to go out on a bike because of how hectic everything seems lol... it really feels like absolutely everyone in this area is outside at night, it's so alive and filled with people, it's so crazy... yet there isn't anything special going on
the 'downtown' area has a night market square and it seems like its a carnival without the rrides... there are a million little shop areas stuff, with eeverything sooo cheap. there was a place that had by 4 shirts for like $2 and get one free. there are deals like that everywhere! they offer massages everywhere for $1-7/hour for lots of different things, but i had a sweet one tonight... i guess they just brought this in not too long ago, but they have these big tanks with little fish, that you put your feet into and they come up and nibble on your feet... it was so crazy and it felt really cool
the weather here is pretty sticky, which sucks and it drizzles/rains a lot too... i was wrong, the monsoon season doesn't end until november lol
i think that's all i can say right now about my first day... other than i'm effin tired and it's gonna be hard getting used to the time change...
"chum riep leah"
lmao, imagine if it was like that here,
