CAMBODIA

Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!Am in cambodia!!!! My visa was due to expire on the 21 of April so on 20 i crossed the border to cambodia!!!Untill now doind just great!!!! So the thing was: after songkran i packet my bag and was ready to catch a bus in pattaya at 6.00 am!!! Ofcourse on the night before i was able to lock myself out of my room with everything closed..no comments i managed, in very complicated story to get someone to open my door!!! Anyway catch the bus at 6 and arrived to the closest big city at 11.30!!had some food and catch a van to the border!!In the the trip to border i met this belgium guy Stephan that would have a good role later on!!! We got there crossed the border after negotiating the price of our visa!! I thinks its the only country in the world where u can negotiate the price of a visa hahahahha.... Anyway my plane was to travel directly to the capital Phom Pehn but.....at 15h there was no more buses so had to spent the night in this Cambodia town called Krong Kong Koh!!! Stephan was also going to spent a night and he a contact of a hostel that some friends recommned so....i got the ride and follow him...why not??? We get there and actually a nice quite place we some friendly people eventough they wanted ur money all the time!! (Cambodia people are actually really nice if u can get offer the fact that they always trying to ripe u off). In this small village there was nothing to do or do see so i spent the rest of the day and night with the belgium guy, a japonese guy and Noi (thai guy living in cambodia for 7 years hehehe)!!What we did all day and night?!?!?! Hmmmmmm....ask me in private and i will tell u!!! Next morning time to go on the road again!! It was a 5 hour trip to phom pehn. We get in a van with 9 people and some AC nice..........lets bust a move!!!!! After some day the road dissapers and is just a sand trail!!! The thing was that they where still building the road so.............u can image!!! We had to cross 5 rivers but the bridges werent ready or simple not there!!! so we had to cross it old style....see the pics for that!!!!Oh in the meanwhile there was this american girl on the van and we just starting bla bla since we werent the only westerns!!! She was quite interesting but a loud and histerical!!Oh wait thats wright!!all the american girls are like that!!! But still it was nice to meet here, problem meet here in Siem Riep in a couple of days!!! After 4 hourse we got to this road crossing and the van stops and me and the american girl had to leave!!!Hmmmm it was some worried minutes. We realised that our van was going some where else and we had to go on another one, but we paid all the way to Phom Pehn.. anyway this old van stops and we get inside and nobody asked us for more dolars!!So off we went!!! This was a 3 hour drive in a real cambodia van that stoped in every village to get people.It got so full there was people travelling in the roof!!! Well eventually we arrived to Phom Pehn and time to say goodbye to Andrea and jump on the back of a motorbike to take me to a GuestHouse!!! More on the next blog about Phom Pehn!!! Enjoy the piiccccs...........Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr sorry but that all!!! The net is to slow to upload pics!!! Some other time!!!
