Early morning, on tuesday, april 22 i got up very early morning to catch the taxi to Neakleung. It was a bit hard for me to get up at 5:00am. I have to rush for everything prepare for the early morning journey. Because the unwell planned, i got the information on monday that i have to travel on tuesday at 6:00am so i would be able to meet with the district chief and the director of health centre in mesang at 10:00am.

However, at that morning i was a bit late to catch the taxi at chbar ampov. So i departure at 6:15am with my boss where she was waiting for me there about 15 minutes before i arrived. On the road to neakleung on that way was quite good because not very busy as normally people said it’s very busy. So we were able to cross the ferry early at 7:15am.

On the other side of the river, there were 2 motorbike waiting for us with the letter to show us. That’s cool! No later, we got on the motor with our stuffs and moving toward mesang district. We were on the motor for almost like 2 hours to get there at mesang.

I cannot remember the road quite well even though i used to visit there once in late 2006. So we get there just before the meeting supposed to start. The meeting went on for about 1 hour and we leaved the place to go to there place where we stayed and had lunch. Then i rest for about 30minutes during the lunch break .

Quite a lot of thing to do there, visiting the health project, meeting the staff and i had a chance to go to some of there house as well while other busy with their works. I wish i could stay there longer since i really enjoy the meals and the nice breath there up the countryside.

5:00pm on the same day, we finished the meeting and i went back to see the children playing football at the football field, a nice place where it got the shade from the tree surround it. A while later we had dinner and went on talking until 8:00pm and it was late this time at the countryside. But strange there were two wedding near the place where i stay, they started the dancing late at 9:00pm.

So there were nothing else to do, i just went to bed early about 9pm too. The music didn’t disturb me at all since i felt tired for the whole day on that day. It’s cool at night with the windy nice blow…the next day i just stay there for a few more hours and leaved at 10:00am. I arrived back to the city around 1:00pm. Just sleep at that noon…

Visiting the Mountain Site Lake

piseth at the mountain guitarWe set a plan to get up in the early morning with our youth group from GCC to gather together at 7.00am to get the on the van to Kampot province. Unluckily we were a bit late, so we departure at 7.45am.

 

It was a happy day on that day that there about 30 of our youth group went on a picnic to the province. We use two vans for transportation to go there. It was kind a funny traveling that everyone kept singing, playing and telling story all the way to Mlich resort.

We arrived there around 10.30am, and then we saw a nice place with clear water the lake and surrounded by the mountain sites. Just to mention, Mlich is the newly found resort in the recent year.

 

We spent time there to swim and taking pictures with all of our teams. There were also other group came to visit Mlich on that day. What we like the most is to swim in the clear water and enjoyed going on the duck-boat where can load up to 5 or 6 people on it and two people can cycling to push the duck-boat. Yeah! it was a beautiful day on that day. It was a bit tired for me as i don’t swim very often. So i better practice more often. swiming at mlic picture

 

Then at the mid day we relax for lunch and just for food time. Not to mention, the local there are very nice they prepared all the set of foods to welcome us…but then they asked for money too…lolz.

 

If you notice the water is very clear and if you happen to go there once, i’m sure you will be likely to set a plan to go there again. However, it is not very expensive as some other place where i used to visit.

 

I encourage if you want to visit there, don’t just go alone cos you will be very lonely haha.  Get your group to go there. It is not the sea but just a lake that surrounded by the beautiful mountains.

Holiday in Cambodia

It was a peaceful place where i enjoyed myself sitting under the shade of trees looking around to the very beautiful view of the countryside. Normally, i spend my weekend at the countryside with a group of friends to do the church ministries at the province. There at the countryside i found a lot of things to enjoy with such as the fresh airs that i could hardly find in town, the beautiful rice fields, the tree, the people lifestyle in the countryside, animal and especially it is very relaxing. People at the countryside also nicer than those who live in town.

If you experience living in town and you visit the countryside you will understand the communication between countryside people and city people. The two are completely different. Ones at the countryside are friendly and faithful to what they talk and honest to people and welcome to new comers. I like them because i feel accepted unlike in the city even you live next door but you will never learn anything or good relationship with them. They scare to share with us and we scare to share with them. No later, there is no relationship and no communication. People in the city tend to don’t care for whatever happen to their neighbors and sooner it would create hates as well.

Thank God for the natural resources that Cambodia has and fully offer to people to enjoy the mountain sites, the beaches, water falls and of course it can not talk in just a few words. Not to mention about angkor wat the great city temple in the jungle. In the past few years i visited battam band and i found it as a great place as well as people are very nice and welcome. I once was sitting kratie and steung treng for the wedding of a friend of mine. It’s so wonderful spending time at the countryside. I am a country boy too, yeah!

How Much Money is Needed for Cambodia Vacation?

Have you ever heard this simple question? I guess you might heard it if you experience with traveling or have people traveling within Cambodia or from outside of the country. It is vary depend on the situation, i think. For local people traveling from place to places within the country every single trip not exceeded 20USD where the minimum price could start from 2.50USD.

Cambodia one month trip is quite an interesting thing where cover almost all places in the country. It tells where you suppose to go in cambodia and it is very interesting to see the offer to the destination that you will explore in the country. The mean of transportation is both to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh have international airports, so some will be starting the trip in one of those two spots, though those entering Cambodia overland will have a range of options.

And at the beach of Cambodia is a great place to visit if you visiting Cambodia. Don’t miss it always. This is another estimate prices that would be a helpful resources and guide you to spend on your vacation holidays in Cambodia. Of course, you will never forget the most precious temple of Angkor Wat city in the jungle too.

In those trips whether it is short or long, if you plan not to spend money to stay at the luxury places, you will save a lot of money. So spending mostly for your accommodations, cost of traveling and foods. But if you are planning to buy something as a memory to visiting cambodia then just ready some pocket money so you can spend it at the market for some cloths, jewelry and so on.

Traveling is one of the great things for some people and it is a good time for them to relax and enjoy their lives as well. Being a person traveling from one place to another places you may have been experiencing with many things around you. Probably with the food you ate, the weather, the culture, people, transportation and others.

I was wondering what are those thing that you are likely to face in your traveling. It is might be useful if you can share some tips and experience that you had in your traveling with us here. To recall to some of those experience that i travel in a short distance in the country only i usually face often difficulties with transportation where i heard people complain from time to time. But i never learn anything about the transportation in asia is like. So i would like to know if you have anything that is touching you want to share with us about the transportation or tour in asia.

It is very beneficial as people who experienced sharing the ideas who other who are new in traveling will learn to avoid the difficulties and make useful to improve both the quality of tour operation an traveling means to build safely and satisfaction to tourists and travelers.

Why Transportation is Important in Traveling?

I just learned it from a few people and my friends that they are happy or not most of the time is the transportation that they are offered. If the transportation tend to make difficulty a long the way to any places then it will spoil all the thing that they suppose to enjoy and happy with their friends, family or other traveling mates. Are that statement true? Have you had any ideas about this situation?

I guess so if the transportation means is bad then something will happen to be bad too where travelers will most likely hate it too much. It a little far, but just to focus on the tour operation company transportation would be best to choose for traveling in asia? It would be nice if you can drop of some comments and advices that you have experience with.

Angkor City and Temples

How many more times should i talk about its marvelous and the precious temple of angkor wat? Even though i visited angkor quite many times but it is still the good place where i have to say it is a wonderful place. It is very proud from Cambodia that angkor wat is known to be the great thing of this country.

I can’t believe it if i never see it with my eyes of how the khmer ancient people constructed this temple. I guess, You probably are not going to believe it too if you don’t see it anyway. But it is just happen to be true that this temple existed and stand to show its glories in the jungle of cambodia’s land.

Angkor City and Template

How great is the temple and i really admired the olden days of cambodia and how the people constructed this temple. To imagine, the building of Angkor Wat was build by human being where there were no modern construction tools as today but people can make it with all the nice shape.

Many people are talking about the great temple of angkor wat and the city of angkor and also compelled their words into books that make available to readers as well. On of the great book that talks about angkor wat temple and the city is “The Angkor City and Temples” that i haven’t read it yet. You can also hear wat people talks about it here:

Angkor Cities And Temples is perhaps one of the most beautiful books I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Everything about it beckons the reader to remain absorbed in its pages. The text by Claude Jacques is erudite, well-written, and very well translated. The photography by Michael Freeman is astonishingly good. Not only by virtue of his technical skills, which are considerable, but because he handles the art and architecture of the monuments with a tremendous sensitivity to detail and a glorious feel for the way in which light interacts dramatically with stone. Together, the flowing text and luminous colour images provide a wondrous exposure to an ancient world of great sophistication and profound aesthetic development.
