It’s December babehhhh!!! Last month of year 2009! Boy, time really flies! T.T
Went for 1 day ‘cuti-cuti malaysia’ trip. Departed at around 2pm, reached the Port Weld at 3 something. That one hour journey seemed forever. Probably because of hunger. Keke.
It was raining heavily when we reached there. Our initial plan of heading there was to try their mee udang banjir. However the day of our roadtrip is the day where the Muslim had celebration – Hari Raya Haji, therefore the mee udang stalls were closed. Or we didn’t look hard enough. Hmm…
So we settled for this instead!
Satisfied with our morning breakfast, we moved to our first destination – the lake of Tonle Sap. It was a jolly 20-30 minutes ride. But at that moment, I seriously didn’t have a clue on where we were heading to despite knowing the whole trip itinerary way before going Cambodia. Probably brain was still sleeping. Haha.
Our tour guide, Siya (or Ya) is a friendly person. He broke the ice by introducing himself and brief us his country, the history and the culture. He’s a soft spoken guy, so accompanied with the noise coming from the van’s engine, those sitting at the back of the van couldn’t hear anything at all. Probably should install a mic in the van then everyone can hear loud and clear.
We passed by this kampung area where we could see a bright arch on top of a hill from afar. As we moved closer, I could see the stairs leading up to the temple on top. I noticed that there is a small gazebo at the middle of the hill. Before asking out what’s that, Ya explained that is a temple where the villagers especially the fishermen go there to pray for safety and well-being as well as big catches from the river.
