Journey To Cambodia

A trip a lifetime in the making.

December 14, 2005

 
It's Thursday morning on December 15th. I'm at a different Internet Cafe about the same walking distance from the other one. The Internet connection here is a little faster. It also offers Internet phones. Yesterday my mom called my dad and it was less than a dollar for 18 minutes. Cheap! I wish I knew of this place sooner then I could call Seung. Keep your phone with you at all times, Seung =).

Yesterday evening we went to the Royal Palace. The temples were very beautiful and the artifacts on display looked very old and fragile. Afterwards we went to Wat Phnom where bunches of monkeys and cats roam. One of the monkeys tried to snatch my camera. That was scary. We went too late in the evening so the elephant wasn't there, but I did get the chance to see it when we drove past the Wat on the way to Battambang.

The weather here have cooled down a lot. It's cloudy and very windy. It sucks because I can't take good pictures. My hair always fly into my face. Plus, my mom isn't a very good photographer. I know now to travel with at least one other person that can take good photographs. My uncle is pretty technology saavy, but he's too busy with work to take us places on the weekdays.

Well, my time here is wrapping up. I still have several weeks, but it seems to be passing by quicker. I've yet to see Angkor Wat. We're waiting for my relatives to get here on the 17th from Washington before going to Siem Reap. I can't wait!

It must be really nice going back to your roots. I bet your family was happy to see you. It sounds amazing over there. Whelp Arnoldo is in Mexico visiting relatives too, so your not alone. I hope you are having a great time.
 
Ya know how you complain that my room is always messy...its actually been pretty clean since you've been gone haha...I got so much spare time on my hands I dunno what to do. I work out almost every day now...I rearranged my room too and got all my alundry put away. I'm thinking bout cleaning the whole house soon cuz I got nothing better to do :P Hurry back so I can get back to being a lazy butt.
