Today, we are heading to Phnom Pehn.
After having a cup of tea at GH lobby, I still feel hungry. The mini van that provide FREE transfer to the bus station was late. I told the GH staff to call the bus company. "Coming soon" is the answer I got. I am going to pack some food for breakfast and let them informed the mini van driver to wait for a while if they arrived.
I ordered a bowl of chicken porridge and take away a roasted chicken rice, a cup of iced green bean juice and two 'Yar Char Kuey'. Suddenly, I saw a bus passing by heading to our GH. I asked Hong to go back to the GH immediately to collect our luggage and ask the driver to fetch me from the food stall.
A mini van driver stop beside the stall and yelling at me,"lady, your friend is inside". I quickly pay the lady and ran into the minivan. Hong have to squeezed with 6 people PLUS luggages at the back... I am lucky to get the co-driver seat in front.
When we were on board of the bus, I realised that the food vendor forget to pack the chicken rice for me. What to do? Hong just take 2 little 'yar char kuey' for his breakfast.
I felt cheated as we have been told it was a double decker bus and having toilet at the lower level. The lower level is actually mean for luggages and motorbikes. There was no toilet inside. I have to control the call of nature for 4 hours before the bus stop at a roadside hawker centre for lunch.
The toilet was flooded and very dirty. No choice but have to accomodate to its condition.
When walking around, there was nothing that make me feel like eating. We bought a pack of palm fruits. BUT my stomach was making noise!!! I convinced myself to try the mixed rice there. They cannot speak in English, so i managed take away a pack an braised egg and mixed vege (4000 riels) using some simple Khmer and sign language.
After trying, it taste quite good. I told Hong to finish it and I go to order another plate. This time I order the braised egg and steamed meat. They offered me with a complimentary cup of cambodia tea (5000 riels).
Upon arrival at St. 107, Nice GH claimed that they don't have a room today. They have my name on the reservation list. How dare they do it to me! I have reconfirm with them the day before I was leaving for Siem Reap. They offered me to stayed at Capitol GH. 'Same boss!" they said. I thought this will only happen in Hanoi...
Fine, I insisted to have a look at the room first before check in. Both of us were okay with the room. Actually, I don't want to waste my time looking at other GH as I have very little time in Phnom Penh. So I asked the tuk tuk driver to sent us to visit S21 Prison.
