Hola to anyone that reads this. It's been a while since my last post, I've mostly been busy getting from place to place but I am doing fine, if not a bit exhausted. Currently I'm in the city/town of Battambang in Cambodia. Tomorrow i'll be in Phnom Penh and on the 21st i'll be on my way to Saigon in Vietnam.
I saw angkor wat yesterday and it is HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, i didnt expect the ruin complex to be that.... large. The whole park spans maybe 10km by 10km. No pictures will do justice just how big it is but im sure google can help.
I'm much more pleased to be out of thailand and in another country, it's been pretty cool lately (30C) so it's been pretty easy to get around and see sites. I have to say though... no more temples, if i have to see one more temple im going to go insane. All i have planned for the rest of the trip before i get to china is to visit war museums... and relax and read and eat.
The asian food here is great, but I miss the variety that i have access to at home. There quality food from all over the world all packed together, whereas here... all i have is curry.. or some other strange things.
I did NOT get to eat any exotic meat yet, which makes me sad :( i saw a bbq restaurant that had crocodile but it cost 10$ !!!! too expensive since regular meals are only 3-6$. And i almost missed the spider village where they deep fry spiders and you eat them... i'm still gonna try and find one though.
In any case, I miss my bed, and cold weather, and home food. Chengdu food will bring me close to home... I can't wait. Oh, and just for the record, ive been spending around 30-35usd/day, which is too much, but its so hard not to spend unless i literally do nothing and eat maybe 1 meal a day. And then i still have to deal with japan.... hopefully couchsurfing pulls through for me.
10$ is too much for a meal...? What happened to the Suhan who asked me to go eat in Old Port for 40-ish dollars..? lol
ReplyDeleteGlad you're faring better out of Thailand. I can't wait to hear what you're going to think of VN. There's nothing going on here. We get about one sunny day a week on average. Quite sad actually.
