life is short: Kembara Indochina 1.0

Retrospective event..

Entry utk bulan ni khas utk perantauan kami 5org ke bumi bertuah Indochina..retrospectively,tiket ni kami beli awal tahun 2011PostAngkorian(masihi)..kecuali justin frencho lmbt sikit..

This 1st entry ditulis the moment kaki mjejak LCCT stlh sampai dr vietnam..sementara tunggu ERL heading towards villa member di Ampang.(entry seterusnya akan menyusul at my convenient time).

Sebenarnya trip kali ini agak menarik krn ianya mmg menuntut kesatuan hati..mesyuarat2kecik di facebook updates hinggala ke hari sebenor..cabaran kami yg agak ditakuti adlh banjir..mcm2doa nk dptkn restu 'Tuhan'..akhirnya usaha di realisasikan.

grand meeting..a week before depart..

looking for something that possible "out of map"..

Surprisingly..ramalan kami sama dgn ramalan ahli kaji cuaca dunia. Huhuhuh.hujan di bumi Angkor.banjir paras lutut..taxi USD 10 pun dr airport xnk hanto ke pintu hotel..(lesson no 1: DO NOT BE FOOLED OR CONNED BY TUK2/TAXI DRIVER)..sabo jerla penat bergaduh dgn dia yg nak pow duit kami dgn tawaran yg x menarik S*IT ( but personally i was still excited to see the flood)

Day 1 27/09/11: hooooo..arini cuti seluruh cambodia sbb arini hari mengingati si mati ..Pchum Benh Day kalo xsilap or feeding the dead day..wpun ianya festival (so called) tp kami xlarat..kalori dh tbakar redah hujan..petangnya kami ke WAt tp upacara dh abis..so again redah air..melihat rakyat khmer bersukaria bercanda tepi sungai main air..bahaya betul diaorg..logikla death tolls banjir 94 org kt cambodia.

I really like Cambodian people..they are so nice..and rasa selamat kalo bjln2kat sini..kami checked in kt Ta Phromh hotel..3 stars hotel facing the overflowing river due to flood..but we rate them as 4stars at least..servis cekap,staff baik2 n bilik sgt memuaskan).

So scr asasnya mmg aktiviti kami adalah berjalan2 main banjir menikmati rahmat Tuhan di bumi kemboja then masuk kedai2 souvenier..mana yg bukak kami masuk..

Lesson no 2 : SHOP TILL U DROP,BARGAIN FOR NO VAIN..

Barang2mmg muroh tp kena tawarkn la lg muroh..paintings mmg murah(our interest la)
Tips for bargain:
1.cut down the price 50-60% lower - dont worry peniaga cambodia baik2.

2.kalo larat..check setiap kedai.harga bgantung pd skill menawar then kalo perasan kedai mahal ni biasanya NGOs n bdn kebajikan punya.

3.buku kt Angkor Wat pun murah kalo nk tawar bbndg di Pekan.

4.night market lg murah bbndg central market..

For muslims..kedai2yg halal xsusah tp kami suggest Taj Mahal cuma scr puratanya sekali mkn maybe rm15-20/head..tp puashati jugok.

Ok la tu kot..enough for intro entry just utk kenal2kn watak n scene..nantikan episod seterusnya tentang nasib kami di bumi Kemboja...huhuhu..adakah masih ada sinar bahagia utk kami..sebelum itu enjoy gambo2 yg berjaya di shot didalam titisan hujan2 rahmat aritu..
