The Long Journey
Well it’s day one at 11:15 p.m. and we’re in Cambodia! Right now we’re all sitting in the Golden Noura Villa (our hotel) waiting to go see what our rooms are like. We left Prescott at about 2:15 a.m. and caught our flight to L.A. We then took a 15-hour flight to Seoul, South Korea. The plane was awesome and super comfortable but the flight took WAAYY too long. After that we got on our last flight to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We were then rushed through security, customs, and a huge crowd of people into the small confines of our Tuk-Tuk. Tuk-Tuk’s are the cambodian equivalent of a taxi. It’s a 4-seat, open cabin strapped to the back of a motorcycle. They were super fun! We drove through the city for about 20 minutes. The city was huge! Even at 11:00 p.m. the streets were crowded. Eventually we showed up at our villa and that’s where we are now!

Adam- A tuk-tuk sounds exhilarating and somewhat dangerous. As the principal I feel it is my duty to demand that you wear your seat belt, request a helmet and keep your arms and legs inside at all times.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, this is a third-world country..... okay, just hold on tight and pay attention to the sights and sounds as they whiz by!

ReplyDeleteWell you see, we asked for helmets and seat-belts, but Mr. Dyer refused. He said it would ruin the experience. So instead we reached out and touched other tuk-tuk's, stacked people on top of each other, leaned out the side, and threw pens at each other. Over all we were safe and experienced the Cambodian culture. :) Thanks for responding!
