Random events, Cambodia
Hey you guys!! I only posted serious thing about Cambodia and I don’t want you to belive that this country is boring.
Here are some of the random events that hapend during my stay
I told you already that I had to take a share taxi with 8 people inside, right?? But how are 8 people going to fit in a normal car???
check it out!!!!
When I arrived in Phnom Penh, tired and hungry, I decided to go to streets stalls for a real Cambodian meal.
It was a very good noodle soup (available in the whole Asian continent) and it also included a Japanese beer. The girl from the stall though very appropriate to hand me a straw so I could drink my beer with full comfort!
I saw as well that she had some boiled eggs to offer. “mmm boiled egg” I thought in delight. I started taking the shell off like you do with a normal boiled egg, and to my surprise
the girl was very concern. She instructed me in the Cambodian art of peeling and here is the next surprise, it wasn’t a normal egg!! First, I noticed some feathers. Then some bony structure and then some kind of a body.
Yes I had in front of me a chicken embryo. The so famous embryos you eat in the Phillipines, but hey I’m in Cambodia!!!
Oh well, after thinking of the situation for half a second…… I ate it 🙂
The taste was alright, but having small feathers in your mouth, well….
To finish I’ll show you the way of traveling in Cambodia. Always making the best out of the space we have!! Oh yeah you better know where you want to go and specially how to get there, ‘cuase the drivers don’t have a clue!! I had to have my map out everytime and I was giving the directions!! Odd, hey?
I met Jess, Lorraine, Chris and Tom, old friends from Chiang Mai, in Phnom Penh! Great fun guys!! Here getting a lift in a Tuk-Tuk 🙂
