and heading for Bangkok

This entry is being added two weeks later. It’s not an important entry as entries are concerned; it’s just that I wanted to make sure that I completed the Cambodia part of the trip in the blog.

The last day in Sihanoukville was a lazy day. My idea was just to take it easy, maybe do some shopping for souvenirs or hang out at the beach. Whatever I did would be okay because I didn’t make any big plans. What I ended up doing was going for a long walk on the beach. The weather was kind of windy so it kept the beaches kind of empty… there were some people wandering along, but not as many as one would expect, which was a good thing.

That was pretty much all I did that warrants mentioning here, but remember I’m writing this two weeks late… maybe I did do something fun and just don’t remember.

I left Sihanoukville early, about 8 for the long bus ride to Bangkok and to, more importantly, meet up with the tour group. I was late for the six o’clock meeting, but there wasn’t much that I could do about it, and in the end that didn’t really matter… it never has. What does matter though is meeting the people you’ll be traveling with. If you can imagine the first day of class, you know, you size up the people. Who will you hang with? Who will you avoid?

The bus pulled into Bangkok about 10 and the taxi got me to the hotel at about 1030. At that time there wasn’t anyone there to meet me, so I just went to bed.

My Cambodia leg of the vacation is over and I think I can safely say that I’m glad. I did some fun things and except for the tuk-tuk drivers I kind of liked my time here. The problem was my first impressions and being yelled at by the driver, I could never get past it. It’s unfortunate too because so many people say they loved Cambodia. Maybe if I go back things will be different, cross your fingers.
