4th day in Cambodia, Sieam Reap. (: I am alone now in The Blue Pumpkin eating ice cream and having a nice drink.
Today we went for breakfast followed by some cooking school. US$11 per person.
And so I now know how to make curry and fresh/fried spring rolls and mango salad. My fav (:
Parents are currently somewhere next door having massage(once is enough for me) while I'm trying to survive with this 50minutes left laptop whose timing isn't exactly that much if I'm on the net. I have a plug but unfortunately have no adapter.
Plenty of photos but with nobody inside I don't know what's the use but everything's kinda pretty so it's worth taking. Lots and lots of temples but since I get bored of seeing the same things over and over again we just bought a 1day pass which was good enough.
Ice cream here is nice and yum. I have yet to buy the pao and otak here. I have no idea how they call it. We have most of the fruits here except their market is just like ours years ago - pigs not in freezers. Plenty of fruits, some of which look and taste nicer than back home. I love carrots and custards and pomelos and everything else. =D
Food here is relatively nice and some restaurants do not use MSG at all (but the cooking thingy we went to were so generous on the msg. -.-)
I think a 3day trip would suffice if one should want to come here.
My hotel room is rather neat and tidy for US$22/night which comes with free breakfast - The Red Piano. What more - the room's ORANGE! We first booked Molly Marlone but the hotel was abit disappointing as compared with the pictures and on top of it - our room to be was situated on the 4th floor plus a pub downstairs would most probably mean noisy nights till 2am.
Everything here at night comes to live, party all night long and beer and drinks and whatnots which could cost from US$0.75 and up. A bottle can cost about an average of US$10. I guess that's why people love it here.
Tuk tuks are everywhere~ They range from US$10 to US$20 a day. Prices ranging according to the distance we travel. We had the same driver for 3days 1. $12 2. $22 3. $10. The weird thing is that almost every meal, we called the driver along but he only accepted once.
There's nothing much to buy here except souvenirs. The pretty stuff we can find back home and plenty of overpriced items.
I love street food as compared to restaurants but then my parents don't usually prefer it because of the hygiene and the TB and hepetitis around here which I heard almost 65% of the population carries.
Anyhow, I would love to start up a business here hahaha. Risk is rather low I suppose. On the other hand, I don't think I can bear with the hot weather here, although because of the rainy monsoon season now, it can get really cooling at times.
When I return back to SG I shall post the pics. I don't want to waste much of my battery doing so now. =D
If I repeat, don't blame me my mind is going all over.
