Today, all in the car through the

Go to Viet Nam, is an unexpected results.

Had intended to stay in Angkor, came a week than change quickly, and plan in Phnom Penh to an international friends talking about diving experience, dance of Viet Nam, there are a number of missions over time, so the change of plans, ready to spend a few days of Viet Nam. So the person who commissioned narin help me get a visa ($ 30, and a photo), also spent 6 dollars for bus tickets (bargain fare spent abroad 6 dollars). And then start packing at night, large bigpack hosting hotel, little Wolf claw carry-on, thought there should be no omissions, 8 p.m., eat and drink enough to wash sleep, suddenly thought not prepared Bible--Viet Nam lp. Gosh, where there are pinned? upside of buy tomorrow is blind woman into Viet Nam?

Had to hard up narin scalp, find the international friends borrowed.

Hang up a big smile on narin GH duty tierry said: "you have no information about Viet Nam?"

He lifted the eyelids to look at me: "no"

Did not give up, asking: "what do you have a hotel or travel agency, Sai Kung, can you recommend?"

He looked me over for a long time since the eyelids, reaching your right opened the drawer, half day, took out a blue bricks thick lp Viet Nam or genuine.

I caught up, hold, says: "can I borrow this?"

He laughed.

So I didn't mince words, swept away.

Night night Ph., develop my beautiful trip, and the abc three options option, everything properly, is in the middle of more than 11 points.

A night out dream, dream to own catch the wrong train, dream to not set to go to nha trang by train tickets, intermediate or wake up several times, good in the second day, there are a lot of time in the car repair, is considered the heart.

＊＊＊

6: 45 in the morning, the gate of the narin, I went from Phnom Penh to the bus.

Line out of Phnom Penh city, the roads from last year has been improved, about 2 hours, 1-channel are relatively flat, did not see the predecessors gonglue crater in the scene. The way the broad expanses of green, paddy fields, the first sight, and touch the clouds in the blue, pleasant. Rice fields also tall coconut trees, sporadic scattered in various places, far away, a cloud hangs down, as if the hand you can wring a flower. The road from time to time visible red roof small house, eight feet high in the paddy field, kids naked squatting on the stairs, holding a donburi dinner. There are also large Hawthorn, autumn in October, Lotus has been disabled, but look at all the Lotus Leaf floating on water, or you can imagine the summer "Add boundlessly PI, the redder". Occasionally women shake their tiny sampan, Hawthorn, wipe with water mark, but also rapid closure, a tranquil rural scenery.

This peace of mind, until you reach the border will be broken.

Car to the border, a wooden up hospitality break down all the luggage.

A warm greeting from owner came forward to restaurant, take a look at the menu, but is not a sticker shock, heart material will catch, but don't know where to run. Bought a coconut green holding suck juice, approximately 20 minutes after closing. Wooden and up to hold my bag, I strongly reacts as 35 liters of luggage, declined his kindness. Peer is critically other passengers will be thrown into the wooden ladle, own Shi shi so swing.

Boundary stone from shops to about 800 meters, La touch to a boundary stone, Board the driver said he is not pointing out of bounds, the remaining distance to you own carrying the statue of the foot, and claims that the charge per piece of luggage, a beautiful Portage is sharenbujianxue Ah.

Several international friends a great spot to shout their rejection of corruption thousand hundreds of SEO.

Local barbarians rapidly around to, some also reached intent look peer Belgium sister wallet. See potential bad, I turn left, and chivvying companions said: "faster than boundary stone, the guys didn't dare tell over national borders," Mack has finally escaped into Viet Nam. Look back at the gang mellows locals, not scared of.

The customs clearance has spent almost an hour, the language barrier, local officials know English, quite a lot of trouble, and border officials have a passion for extortion and bribery, wilful blindness to exempt 2 dollar losses.

Blizzards, and some of us ran behind much luggage, before returning to a few times to get all the procedures.

Then put on Viet Nam local car is 1: 45, line about 3 hours to arrive in Saigon.

Road traffic has been excellent, there is a high speed, and war-torn Cambodia is under the breath, I sleep all the way, do pig dish.
