HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!im back from thailand. 4days 3 nights, the trip was actually quite horrible. but still i wouldnt like to go back there for shopping purposes. HAH! i reached thailand on the 17th of february, around evening time. so we just had steamboat for dinner then back to the hotel. the worst day was second day. we set off early in the morning to CAMBODIA. i dont know why we are going there but its part of the tour. bus ride like 4-5 hours then lunch then bus ride again. finally we reached there.
the funny part came, we asked the tour guide whether we need to go to that cambodia immigrant place as we only went through the thailand one. then the tour guide says"oh! no need, cambodia is a free land. so its ok" we were like feeling werid but since the tour guide says so, we just follow. then we head to the hotel and walk around. after that the next morning we are supose to leave cambodia. so we carry our luggages and walk under the hot sun to the thai immigrant and realise that we cant go back to thailand. simply because we were no where for one night. after we left thailand, we never step into any other country (as it is not stated in the passport). i swear we nearly beat that tour guide up, as we still asked him if we need to but he said no. so nevermind. we spent the whole morning walking around, here and there finding the cambodia immigrant to settle our passport stuff. in the end, we were charged overstaying! and thats not the worst part. can u imagine a whole group of 23 chinese, carrying luggages and walking here and there under the hot sun in cambodia? all the people there were staring at us because firstly we are like crazy people and second we are like tourist, so they might be trying to think of ways to steal our things.
one very unpleasant experience. as we all know that cambodia's a poor country. when we first reached there, alot of young small kids came and beg money from us. i really pity them, as they are really young and skinny. but to my surprise! they actually use one hand to carry a bowl or someting like that to beg for money as a cover up and the other hand will put into our pockets and steal money from us! we were all damn shocked! can u imaine young kids doing such things! so we were very careful with our things from then on.
so after all the hassle, we finally get out of cambodia and return to better thailand. and we finally get to shop! hahahaha. thats the best part of the whole trip there. hahahaha! we shop and shop and shop until we come back to singapore. yep. i would want to go back to thailand definitely! but no not cambodia! ahhahaha.
ok. so im back now in singapore safely in one small piece! :) so i need to get back to my books for some serious studying as exams are just 4 days away.
