Hello all, sorry I couldn't update the blog a while.
We had a long weekend in Japan and I had a couple of events to organise :-)
I will write about it when I get a chance (yes so many things I have to post... I promise I will get back to Sydney info from next one) 2 days in row, I was out till 3am.... without alcohol. I don't know how I did, but I managed.
こんにちわ、みさなーん♪またちょっと期間が開いちゃってｺﾞﾒﾝなさい！
日本は連休でいろんなｲﾍﾞﾝﾄ事があり、ちょっとﾊﾞﾀﾊﾞﾀしてました。
また機会があったら書きたいと思ってます☆
（はい、毎回言ってますw が、約束とおり次回からまたｼﾄﾞﾆｰ情報に戻ります！！）
２日連続で朝３時まで、、、しかも初ｱﾙｺｰﾙなし。
どーやってそんなことが出来たのか。。。不明www
When we got back to the hotel, we negotiated with the driver.
"We go to see the sunset for $8 but you need to drive us to the old market and bring us to the hotel after."
ﾎﾃﾙに到着すると、運転手さんと交渉。
”じゃー夕日$8で見に行くけど、その後、ｵｰﾙﾄﾞﾏｰｹｯﾄまで一回降ろしてもらって、最後ﾎﾃﾙまで送ってね。”と。
First time, we were not in the town.
Streets are not paved, houses are old and small..... many people are on the street, playing, chatting or event washing their bodies. It was pretty shocking when I first saw but then realised that everybody is smiling.
初めて街の外に出ます。
道路は舗装されてなくって、家は古くって小さい。。。たくさんの人達が道で遊んでいたり、話してたり、体さえ洗っちゃったり。初め見た時は実際ちょっと戸惑っちゃったけど、よくよく見てみるとみんなめっちゃいい笑顔なんです。
And thought I don't need to feel pity for them. They enjoy and appreciate what they have.
Of course, we could help them and provide better lifestyle - paved streets are one of them, maybe better water pipes or electricity at home, better eduction systems for kinds etc...
I read a few websites regardng donations. Apparently it's better "on-going" donations rather than "one-off".
I will research more and hopefully I can do something for them...
かわいそうって一瞬思っちゃったこと訂正。彼らは彼らの生活を楽しんでるし、幸せなんだなっと。もちろんよりよい生活を送る為に私達が出来る事はあります。
例えば、道の舗装もその一つだし、水道管や電気または子供達の教育ｼｽﾃﾑの普及などなど。
ちょっと募金のこと調べたんですけど、毎月少しずつ長く募金し続けることが大事みたい。もう少しじっくり調べて、何かわたしもできたらな。。。と思ってます♪
After 40 min of uncomfortable drive, we are here - the sunset spot.
Un?? It doesn't seem right....
A guy came up to us and asked us to purchase a ticket for a sunset cruise for $25.
WTF? We don't wanna go on a boat? We came here to just see the sunset.
We kept saying "NO" - he even tried harder with $5 discount (seriously ?!)
Yes, the driver tricked us.
40分のｶﾞﾀｶﾞﾀ道ﾄﾞﾗｲﾌﾞの末、ようやく着いた夕日ｽﾎﾟｯﾄ。
あれ？なんか。。。あやしい。
男性ｽﾀｯﾌが近寄って来て夕日ｸﾙｰｽﾞのﾁｹｯﾄを$25で買えと売り込んでくる
何これ？聞いてないし。ｸﾙｰｽﾞとか行く気ないし、夕日見れればいいんだけど。
”買わない”を連呼すると、彼は更に頑張る。$5引きにしてくれると（どんな適当なん）
はい、運転手にやられました。
Waited more than 1.5hours, it doesn't look good - cloudy than this morning.
I was getting bored with plying with the smallest kitten I've ever seen.
We were hungry and bored - okay let's go. Heading back to the city..... another 40min uncomfortable drive. It was good opportunity to see outside of the city but I have to say we didn't need to go that far.
１時間半以上待った時、今日の朝よりももっと雲があって夕日見れないんじゃ。。。と気付く。こんな小さな子猫みたことない！ってくらい小さい子猫とも遊び疲れ、お腹も減って、とても暇なので街に戻る事にします。また４０分のｶﾞﾀｶﾞﾀ道のﾄﾞﾗｲﾌﾞ。
郊外の様子が見れたのはよかったんだけど、こんなに遠くまで来なくてもよかったかも。ﾁﾝ｡｡｡
We decided to go to the Soup Dragon for Cambodia Hot Pot tonight.
Got a table on 3rd floor - nice view! It seems quieter than last night
Corner Pub St and 2 Thnou St, Siem Reap
今夜はｽｰﾌﾟﾄﾞﾗｺﾞﾝでｶﾝﾎﾞｼﾞｱ鍋に挑戦♪
３階で席をとったので、眺めがいい〜♪♪金曜の夜なのに、昨日よりなんか静か？
Veges, beef, mushrooms, fried to-fu, noodle with eggs in a pot.
It was yummy but nothing was really special... to be honest.
Would I recommend you this restaurant? Ummm.... I think you can find better places.
野菜、肉、きのこ、揚げ豆腐の皮、麵に卵を一気にお鍋で煮る、日本のお鍋と似た感じ。おいしいけど。。。普通？
お勧めは、別にしません（笑）絶対他にも美味しい所あると思う！！
Last day in Cambodia - we had a foot massage at the Tara Spa (in the hotel) first thing in the morning.
He was really really really good.
If you are in Cambodia or even in Vietnam, get a massage.
Really cheap and really good - I'd recommend you to do it in your hotel though.
There are many massage shops in the city - it might be cheaper but you might not get what you expected. We had one in Hoi An. It was an experience, I have to say.
It was really cheap but I wasn't feeling comfortable at all (for many reasons).
ｶﾝﾎﾞｼﾞｱ最終日。ﾌｯﾄﾏｯｻｰｼﾞから始まる一日。。最高☆
ﾏｯｻｰｼﾞしてくれた彼、めっちゃ上手かった！
ｶﾝﾎﾞｼﾞｱかﾍﾞﾄﾅﾑに行ったら是非、ﾏｯｻｰｼﾞ行ってくださいね♪
安いし普通に気持ちいい！でも、ﾎﾃﾙのｽﾊﾟお勧め〜。
街とかにもいっぱいお店でﾏｯｻｰｼﾞやってるとこあって、たぶんﾎﾃﾙよりも安いけど、想像通りには行かないかも？
実は私達もﾎｲｱﾝで一回やったんです。あれは、なんとも言えない経験でした。
安かったんだけど。。。なんか常にｿﾜｿﾜしてた（いろんな理由）
Last meal in Cambodia. Found $0.50 Draft sign - DONE.
Street 8 (Pub Street), Siem Reap
ｶﾝﾎﾞｼﾞｱ最後の食事です。生ﾋﾞｰﾙ$0.50のｻｲﾝ見つけちゃった。即決定w
I really liked this place - foods were great with cute waitresses (or a waitress)!
Happy to choose this restaurant as our last lunch in Cambodia
私ここ好き〜♡料理も美味しいしｳｪｲﾄﾚｽさん達かわいいし♡（特にうちらの担当の子は可愛すぎたw）
最後のご飯がここでよかった♪
 |
| King Prawn Soup $3.75 |
 |
| Khmer Curry $3.75 |
 |
| Fried Rice $4.75 |
Everything was really tasty and really cheap.
If you like to try traditional Khmer food, try this restaurant :-)
We were full and ready to shop!
Going back to the Old Market and start buying few things which we had already found other night.
I bought cambodia pants ($15 for 3), a Ray Ban sunny ($3 lol), crystal piercing ($1 lol) and boxes of cookies for $60 - we couldn't find any souvenirs. It was really pricy (and it was for Japanese tourists) but no choice. I also bought a couple of spices for my mum.
全部美味しかったしめっちゃ安い！
ｸﾏｰ伝統料理が試したい方はこのﾚｽﾄﾗﾝお勧め〜♪
お腹もいっぱいになったし、最後のお買い物の時間！
またｵｰﾙﾄﾞﾏｰｹｯﾄに戻ってすでに目を付けてた商品どんどん買っていきます☆
私は絶対買いたかったｶﾝﾎﾞｼﾞｱ ｱﾘﾊﾞﾊﾞﾊﾟﾝﾂ(３つで$15)､ﾚｲﾊﾞﾝのｻﾝｸﾞﾗｽ($3 笑)､ﾋﾟｱｽ($1)､ ｸｯｷｰ($60) だって、お土産が本当にない！一箱めっちゃ高かったけど（そんでもって日本人旅行者向けなのﾊﾞﾚﾊﾞﾚ)選択ﾁｮｲｽが全くなかったので購入。あとは、ｽﾊﾟｲｽもﾏﾏのために購入♪
Time to say good bye to Cambodia .....
Our driver picked us up and headed back to the hotel.
We negotiated with him today's fee for only $7 (hotel - market - hotel - airport).
We threw all our baggages onto the tuktuk and headed to the airport.
そろそろｶﾝﾎﾞｼﾞｱともお別れの時間です。
運転手さんに拾ってもらってﾎﾃﾙに戻ります。
今日のﾄｩｸﾄｩｸ料金は$7で交渉（ﾎﾃﾙ→ﾏｰｹｯﾄ→ﾎﾃﾙ→空港）
でっかい荷物全てをﾄｩｸﾄｩｸに乗っけて、いざ、空港へ！
I had really good time in Vietnam and Cambodia!
If you haven't been, you should plan your holiday now:-)
From Australia, it takes only 8-10 hours to Vietnam/Cambodia and you can see totally different world and experience something you have never done before.
Thanks for reading!
As promised, next one will be about Sydney:p
もー楽しかったゎ、ﾍﾞﾄﾅﾑとｶﾝﾎﾞｼﾞｱヾ(´ω｀)ﾉ
もしまだ行った事がないなら、今すぐに休暇の計画立ててください☆
日本からは4−6時間と、とっても近い！
日本とは全く違う世界を見て感じる事が出来ますょ♪
ではでは、長々と私のﾎﾘﾃﾞｰ旅行記読んでくれてありがとうございました！
お約束通り、次回はｼﾄﾞﾆｰ事です〜
↓ﾗﾝｷﾝｸﾞ参加してます☆
