Angkor Wat. Wat an Amazing Place!
The 5 hour bus ride to Siem Reap was quite the adventure. We were assigned to two seats towards the front but since the bus was empty in the back we switched seats to sprawl out and recoup much needed sleep. After 2 hours into Cambodia’s quite scenic and story-telling countryside we stopped in a little town.
In this town, I was feeling a bit thirsty so I thought maybe I’d try to drink some fresh coconut juice. After asking the guy on the side of the road to go ahead and prepare my coconut, I reached into my pocket and realized I left the money in the bus. While I was walking towards the bus, and while he hacking away at the coconut, HIS BLADE came flying at me and I ran for my life. Well it didn’t make it nearly that close to me but it shook me up a bit because if I were standing in front of him I would’ve been cut. So I went back into the bus and never came out.
Welcome to my site and I hope you enjoy it. When I first travelled to Europe while I was in college I really had the time of my life seeing the many different types of cultures. The flavors of the food, the welcome of the people, the love shared across the world was so much greater than living in the United States ...
