I know I know, most of you guys have heard how I bragged about my SOLObackpacking trip in Cambodia & Vietnam. You know, nothing much happened, I just went backpacking SOLOOOO~~
ok just kidding let's get back to business, ever since I got back from the trip I feel like I have an obligation to motivate people into doing what I did but at the same time I'm worry about their safety if anything bad happens to them the blame is on me. What a dilemma.
OK OK I really need to share my experience, sorry for all the bragging.
When I first landed in Phnom Penh (Capital of Cambodia), I immediately hired a tuk-tuk and asked him to take me to Giant Ibis( it's a bus company's location, there's no centralized station in the country) but the driver told me it's USD5 more expensive than the others and they all provide more or less the same quality's services(gosh he sounded convincing). Then he took me to this red colour flagged company( could've been a sign) and I paid him 7dollars plus a 3dollars tip.
What was promised a 6~7hours turned into a 11 hours nightmare, luckily I met a girl from Henan, China who is, well, a classic beauty. we arrived in Siem Reap around 1930, this girl, whom just wanted to take a glimpse at the infamous Angkor Wat, she had a plane to catch the next day in afternoon back to Hong Kong where her college located, did not do her homework well. We went to the travel agency wanting to get her a seat on the earliest bus next day, which is fully booked. She's fucked. So she had to get on the 2330 overnight bus, I cried for her, inside.
So we went to the pubstreet for dinner, shoved some boozes down our throat, explored the city a little bit, walked along the river near the Art Market, then we sat down on a chair made of marble, watching the river flowed.
I was playing Passenger's Let her go on my phone, then the most erotic thing happened, she suggested sitting back to back, I felt her warmth on my back, I would totally get a room if she wasn't leaving. Just kidding ~~ no I'm not.
Fast forward, we went back to my guesthouse,
then her pickup car came, I gave her/she gave me a hug, then a second hug, we parted.
she was a good sign at the very beginning of the trip, which is quite reassuring that, this,
is happening.
P.S Go travel.
