Cambodia oh Cambodia... Siem Reap

Exotic snacks anyone? Extra crispy? 
 Please do not blame me, please understand I am indeed not a lazy person but sometimes my activities and those little voices in my brain makes me one. So this post supposed have been pending for so many months and I bet if you are going to Cambodia trip when you are reading my first post, you might already came back and wrote your own post about it. I'm such a hopeless person...I admit.

Since this is delayed post, let cut the story short. So journey from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap took almost 5 to 6 hours. Mind you, if you think the journey for 6 hours like driving in a Malaysian highway. You are definitely, totally, absolutely wrong! This is the most tiring bumpy road I have taken so far. Yes, my butt hurt and for few hours I can't sit properly. Maybe I have a weak ass but whatever... although the journey is tiring but this is the best way to see Cambodia up close.
Pho bo- our breakfast before starting our journey. This is hands down the best beef noodles ever! Do try. now  I missed  it already... -__-
Scenery on the way to Siem Reap...



So how's my morning face? ahaks!
Halfway there... look at the condition of the road. This will be the road for  at least an hour during the journey. This explain the a**pain
The kids will help their family before going to school later in the evening
The kids were so excited seeing us snapping their pics.
This is what crazy tourist do...
We stop in god knows where and start snapping pictures...
Crazy tourist favourite pastime. 
Yes.... we love the paddy fields. So green and beautiful.
Cambodia economy largely depends on agriculture therefore you could see throughout the journey the untouched land or village. The view some is breathtakingly beautiful, some are just...errr dusty? 

after long hours drive...this is the RnR. Mind you, unlike Malaysia this RnR close at 6.30pm
Buying some fruits... the pineapple here is awesome. Well, i know  maybe some have doubt on the hygiene but  we ate and nothing goes wrong. Alhamdulillah...
Errrr...ustaz, I forgot the fruit name. anyone knows? This is sour fruit. not so nice tho'
After the stop, all the way to Siem Reap non-stop. Arrgghh...tiring body, stiff neck and Maher Zain cd all the way. Oh, I do love Maher Zain but the idea of listening to him for 6 hours? Well you decide your answer. I know mine... 

oh, yes... this happy faces means we're here in Siem Reap and no Maher Zain already maybe? 

We checked in at Ta Prohm hotel in Siem Reap. A nice hotel. Seriously recommended. Please read here  and you will know. I don't have to write an essay to describe.
I wanted to show this room. It is super comfy after that 6 hours journey. This room looks like heaven on earth. 

I wish at that time the picture was taken, I could just sleep until the next day. 
Clean bathroom.... Love it!
No no, no...maybe you thought we will be resting for a short amount of time but no... this is just to check in, put our luggage in the room and start our next plan. First destination in Siem Reap is.... Oh it's half an hour past midnight. I need to sleep already now. Let's continue our next destination in errr... well anytime soon I guess? toodles! :)

Sneak peek? 
So where do you think my camwhore cousin taking his pics?  see you soon....hopefully huhu!
