It was now time to Siem Reap to leave. For one reason, to which I can remember more, I wanted to go to Kompong Thom. Kompong Thom is half way to Phnom Phen, which is the capital of Cambodia. I could not buy a ticket to Kompong Thom. I have the full fare to pay in capital. Can not be helped.
met on the bus I turn to the brilliant guy who showed me the great guesthouse in Siem Reap. We both independently decided that we now have enough of Siem Reap. He went to Phnom Phen. He asked me what I wanted in the Kompong Thom. I said that it should be as near a temple. He probably thought that I'm stupid. He answered and like, "Whatever makes you happy."
I had doubts, and these enhanced now. When we arrived in Kompong Thom and I saw the city, the decision was clear. Kompong Thom looked like a rubbish dump. I stayed on the bus and we drove on.
After 5 hours we arrived in Phnom Phen. At first glance I was impressed not Phnom Penh. The German did again a good place and I went with him. So far I had no idea how Phnom Phen. He is in Phom Phen no river but a lake in the center. Along the shore there are some cool and cheap guesthouses.
Phonm Penh
The guest house "Number 9", we wanted to go in was full. So we went to the board "Drunken Frog" next door. It is virtually built into the lake. We went on wobbly boards, but everything was ok.
The rooms at the "Drunken Frog" was easy, but for a night in order. The staff of Drunken Frog "were just a little greedy. First they wanted to sell grass, which we refused. Then they wanted to make us drunk. I declined again. Last meal, we should at least there. We both decided the next day another guest house to search.
Phnom Phen is quite interesting. It's totally different than I had expected. The guest house was at the end of a dark street, as one knows from horror movies. The whole area looked a bit dodgy. I felt a bit like a tourist in New York, who has landed some reason in Harlem. But, unless you're a virgin with a bucket of gold in his hand here at night rumlauft, It is not that bad.
The streets were narrow and winding. What is the main street is called elsewhere, here is maybe 2 feet wide. I liked this We went from just a little something to eat. As I said, Phnom Penh was very different than I thought. I liked it.
