Journey To Cambodia

A trip a lifetime in the making.

December 25, 2005

 
It's about 11:00am on Monday the 26th. Merry Xmas to everyone back home! I'm back in Phnom Penh now. We got back last night around 8:00pm. I've been sick for the last two days, but I'm feeling somewhat better now. My throat is still kind of dry and irritated. I'm glad I was able to see Angkor Wat first and then get sick. Otherwise I would've been grumpy and would not have taken too many pictures.

Today is my last full day here. I can't wait to go back home. I feel like I've been here forever. When I get back I'll write a more detailed entry about my trip to Siem Reap. Yes Michael, I'm very PROUD of what our ancestors have built! Can you imagine if we didn't have the ancient temples here? Cambodia would not even be on the map to the world.

Well, I need to get back to my uncle's place now. I will be meeting Phatry and Navy for lunch at noon. I wasn't sure if I would be able to squeeze in some time to meet with anyone here, but everything's working out now. Have a good day everyone!

Oh yea, the crabbing/fishing village near Kampot that I mentioned in my earlier entries is call Kep. I just didn't know how to spell it before. I finally decided to buy the Lonely Planet Cambodia edition when I was in Siem Reap. I wish I bought it before the trip then I would know where everything is. There is still so much to see and do! Oh well, maybe next time in two or three more years =).

Thats good that you got sick afterwards. Aww you're probably on the plane back home or in Taipei or something, but was it hard to leave back home to the States? For me it was, I mean the atmosphere at the airport where people we're saying their good byes and seeing people cry made my eyes watery. I wanted to cry ... but I just kept it inside, I mean it was hard to say good bye to my cousins and stuff. When we got in the plane I told my mom that I missed my cousin Bong La a lot ... till this day I still miss them, oh well there is always next time to see them. Well I'm glad you had fun Nara! Your entries kept me entertained at work. I just gotta have time to show upload and show everyone my pictures from Cambodia on KC. Ttyl
