Hi all,
Arrived in Bangkok today and we are staying at Cafe Samsun again...feels like home :)
Anyway back to Cambodia...quad biking was loads of fun, they gave us a little practice run and then let us loose on roads and dirt tracks, dodging children and animals as we went! Poonam almost killed a chicken, swerved out of the way and into the path of a man on his bike then back again to the other side...it was so funny to watch. I almost killed some ladies dog, everyone screamed and I breaked in time to not squash it phew!! We went at sunset and watched the sun set a little bit then decided it was too scary to drive home in the dark so made our leader take us back before it set. The views were amazing, rice fields and real countryside houses and people.
In the evening we went into town and tried the fish massages. You probably know what I mean, when the fishes suck the dead skin from your feet, kind of grose really! It was so tickily, Poonam lastest all of 10 seconds with the women holding her feet in the water! She freaked out at the fish big time, I thought it was weird but worth the 1 dollar we payed for it for the experience.
The next day (yesterday) we did nothing, we got up at midday and layed by the pool all afternoon...I worked on my tan and its gotten a little better but its still laughable...incidently Poonams auntie is laughing at my none tan now over skype...I am so getting a spray tan!!
That evening Poonam and I were missing Indian food so we went to a restaurant and had a really nice food, the waitress was really sweet and when we asked for tissue they didn't have any so she went out and brought some for us!
I think the thing I will most remember about Cambodians is there sense of humour, everyone is a joker, always teasing and messing around...we don't always get it and that makes then laugh even more. It was really hard to leave Okay Villa in Siem Reap, the loveliest staff ever, so friendly and funny...I had great fun watching the boys teasing the cleaner and making her jump poor women, she thought it was funny too though.
Anyway I only have 2 minutes left of internet time so that is all for now! The rest of the update to come soon
Lots of love Saskia and Poonam x
