6: 30 in the morning in the hotel lobby there waiting to take us to the bus station by taxi drivers.
But it was not until 6: 40 still disappeared. Think of 7: 00 to departure (and only one class a day), but also do not know this place far away from the station, they're constantly pushing the hotel waiter call to drivers, if not the tickets in the truckers, we already own taxi. Watch the pointer at the thought of getting links to a series of flights later, my patience has also come to the limit. Drivers on the phone that will allow us to get in, I was skeptical that bus will be waiting for passengers arriving late? this in China is not possible!, seven drivers finally came, it is not our imaginary taxi, but of a bus, look at the full car passengers, I finally relieved, pick up your ticket once more at ease, because it is 7: 30 departure. But the thing here is not the end, we will not be his last pick-up passengers, CMB still and stop and go, we start with a United Kingdom guys chat, learn he has just experienced a similarly anxious waiting. Now that everything is in the driver's control, is just out of trouble, some good hotel door couldn't find two passengers! then drivers to constantly docked at the hotel near the markets, shops, car repair shop early, etc, and underground car inquiry, aimlessly, looking for perseverance. Finally, the drivers are stopped at a small Hutong entrance, leisurely walk to a side-step into an endless narrow alley. In my opinion, it is like a needle in a haystack, and Cardiff have retorted that he went in, definitely has his way, he believed that the driver can find it. Sure enough, soon the drivers from the alley came out, followed by two backpackers, incredible!Finally to the bus station, this time has come to eight.
Bus clean and tidy, well equipped (with TV, bathrooms) and condemnation, orderly, car air conditioner temperature suitable, asphalt road is flat and clean. The car also has a service release for each passenger free facial tissue, breakfast and water. In the comfortable environment, eat a delicious breakfast and excellent mood. Car TV to show an original United States film with Cambodia, in both titles, also show a Chinese Kung Fu film, but has been used Cambodian language dubbing, look very interesting. I unexpectedly at the last show of karaoke, the estimate is a Cambodian Pu fortress of popular singers, actually in use in Cambodia Cape village language singing Jacky Cheung was the famous "Kiss"! this song has just studied by Denmark's Michael rock band turned into English version of the song "TAKE ME TO YOUR HEART" was also swept the world, can not think of Cambodian language version. Cambodia Cape walled pop an element or a catch up with the trend of the world!Both sides of the road are mostly endless fields, wide vision for a long time lived in the city, is a luxury enjoyment.
In addition, the locals live high foot House. Some rudimentary high foot estates, it is covered with a thick layer of grass. Those cottages, Palm tree, piling, leisure villagers formed a perfect rural landscape, like Miller of the evening Bell "as my heart pounding. Buses in open three hours after stopping to rest in a small market, so that passengers eating and shopping. Just in the car has been trying to take pictures, but all to no avail because the speed is too fast. Opportunities at last, a waitress announced that rest for half an hour, I quickly put on sunscreen, La Al along the side of the mountain on the left, looking for the ideal composition. We go crazy looking for crazy beat, roadside villagers are very rare to see us, greetings. Cardiff in a door full front cottages of the villagers came to a halt, trying to take a House that is mother in her arms the little boy. In the mother, also stood a slightly bigger one little girl, to see us to photograph pleasure, only to have another women next to her away. Steve quickly motioned the girl together photographs, original cry girl was excited, sweet and stood by. Cardiff took I think this line the most praiseworthy photos, the photo above to head mother shy, with arms baby stopped their faces, babies stared, a confused look. The most I like is the girl was dark shiny eyes, small mouth half-blind, full of joy, excitement. She is like the majority of Cambodia Cape village children, from their innocent smile, you do not see the war and poverty, disaster and tragedy. They are in our opinion is boring, poor or even a hard life, branches and clay are their toys, visitors to the candy and chocolate is the best gift, in spite of young age must carry on the family, but the day but always full of happiness. This group of Merry Angel touched an endless stream of visitors from all sides, and they will be happy over the various parts of the world.We are in a specified time of the last minutes on the bus, find all cars were very surprised to see, do not understand how this two people get so sweat.
This half hour for us, which is the rest, more like accompanying. We quickly added energy Hesse, Hu eat began after dozing off. On the occasion of the mist, the attendant announced that car will soon arrive in Phnom Penh, I watch before 1 pm, just get on the train when he announced this car arrived, Phnom Penh time is 2 pm. It seems too leisurely life make their sense of time is very poor, late start, but to advance and an incredible thing but can save you time we still very happy. Get off to find a Tuk-Tuk, give us into online recommended HOTEL COZYNA. It lives in a larger French small floor of the hotel group, on the other side is the Tonle, away from the Palace, Museum of distance less than 10 minutes walk. It is a store as its name implies, I fell in love with it, stay put. Bathroom facelift and decided to go to the central market to buy a gift for your family, then go to the National Museum. The Phnom Penh found Tuk-Tuk was difficult to find and expensive, and most of them are motorcycle (MOTO) and rickshaw. It's fun, miscellaneous, passengersThe driver behind, just one more seat sit, but two were too crowded. I watched the full street racing MOTO seat are sitting two or three persons (Cambodia Cape village people slim figure in this demonstrated superiority, a family of four or five a MOTO will be solved), sidetracked, also wants to try the local practices, two people ride in a MOTO. We had a car, gingerly, MOTO to sit in traffic by leaps and bounds, I stress the shuttle was firmly grasp the car mats, feeling very stimulating. 10 minutes to the central market. This is one of France's design and construction of a golden building, there is a mosque dome of style, very beautiful. We in it turned to find traders are mostly Chinese, can speak Chinese. There were selling corn is delicious, little, a bit like the South of the sticky corn. I am in it bought three scarf, Schiff also bought a piece of sunglasses (yesterday to Tabb when cage Temple lost glasses, born with two big eyes of his later period of time such as years, had secretly planned to this address), the speedy completion of the tasks that are ready to play Mo's made its way to the Museum. Phnom Penh's drivers offer very ridiculous, 1 US dollar (about RMB 8 million), the last of the asking price is generally to 1000 Lille close (about RMB 2 million), and English is very bad, about the price, the best way is to take out your ready to pay money to him. Take us to the Museum's drivers beginning also to listen to the wrong destination, give us to a hotel, then finally know how we're going, but did not know the road all the way to ask the peer,! before they reach their destination.The Museum is not large, but just came back from Angkor, the statue sculpture on display there is nothing new, but the pink building itself is very beautiful, but there is also a beautiful garden, Central is a side next to a pond, a stone circle.
Sit on it and read some books, ate the fruit, very cool, very pleasant. From the Museum and along the Tonle's lakeside road slowly walked all the way to many women selling seeds, they will be a big plate of Lotus support in head go all the way to sell, Lotus seeds, very cool and tasty anti-summer gas. We also bought a grapefruit, sitting on the river bank on the strip about eating, watching the sun slowly disappears behind the Royal Palace.Evening at Tonle Lake chose a restaurant to eat beef rice noodles, served with fried rice noodles, but also in a thick soup taste, very unpalatable.
Then look a bit, I discovered cuoxuan a Thailand restaurant. We casually took some, angry and back, this is the background of these days once ate of sorts, think of tomorrow's lunch will be in Cambodia Cape village of last lunch in order to avoid surprises, will tomorrow be sure to return to the first day when staying in the hotel for dinner.DAY8 (18 February 2005 chushi Friday) fine-snow very hot-cold

Today's tour task easily, only one of spots in the Palace.
We are a luxury sleep to only eight, walk to the Palace, only a few minutes but I met two interesting things. First out the door and found yesterday the Road stopped touting of MOTO drivers are men and cars and disappeared, even on the road are no passing traffic. We are secretly wonder, suddenly the sirens, MOTO ROAR to the fleet, vehicle security officers wore uniform white with black trousers, White Helmets, riding on white spirit, on very MOTO escorts and escort a few vehicles with the flag of Cambodia Cape fortress in formation, like Mercedes drove past. Look at this battle, it is estimated that the Royal Palace of people out. Fleet Street soon after the resumption of the peak. We walked all the way to see several dozen yellow umbrella of monks, now or in the morning, the Sun is not already, and these days almost every day to see many of the monks, but have never seen a really. We pay attention to the observation and found one of the two monks in front of the small restaurant opposite the stop, a staff offering Bowl Yu, another hand bags, they are appealing. Restaurant boss after bowing out of charity, and then also respectfully squatted zuoyi. But then the monk to a cafe, but no one came out, it seems the shopkeeper has give alms to abandon the old tradition and keep up with fashion.Quickly to the Palace, ticket window with icons indicate the correct dress with tourists, clothing must have sleeves, trousers will over the knee.
Female conductor pointed at my sleeveless jacket that is not qualified, but I know there is this travels, from package took out a half-sleeve shirt on. Go to the entrance to see several Asian wearing suspenders shirt women tourists and ticket inspectors theory not to return home after after disappointing, congratulated the preparatory work done enough.Because of the Royal family still lived in the Palace, the Palace is not open to all.
Open part of the main hall of the coronation Hall, silver, Napoleon Hall. The scale of the temple are generally not very large, tastefully decorated than the Imperial Palace, Versailles or less, only the silver Hall is also worth mentioning that the floor in the Hall are all made of pieces of silver brick, bearing remarkable. Soon we will have all of the Inner Temple, the temple visitors outside of the beautiful garden pruned tidy, there are many colorful potted plants of tropical plants are placed in homes, has always been fond of haste I read na sticking it to the Yihong fast green, really want to bring some pots back to decorate our living room.From the Royal Palace, near noon, we waved play on a motorcycle, went straight to Cambodia after the first day of stay in the hotel great stuff.
Because we have forgotten the name and address of the hotel, but with a sense of strong position, was not too feel fee trouble is found. We sat down, the first point of the two bowls of beef long-expected and then acid powder was steamed fish and sour soup of fish. Acid powder is still so delicious, sour soup, fish also very good, so as to eliminate fengjuancanyun. Thought this was the last stronghold of the Cambodian Pu meal, can't wait to get out of the Monkey King ransacked peach Festival in the large capsule, Cambodia Cape walled food fresh fruit, all of which bring back slowly.Fat gods, we went back to the hole SA-sur, as have check-out, and leave the airport there are more than two hours, we are ready to pass the time in the River.
Am searching missingTrace of selling seeds hawker, sure enough, as husband, have come to the River to report to work. The River is very long, and regulation of a new, a row of trees along the River, or flowers or time-honored. We sat under the trees, fruit, drinking coconut milk, peeling with Lotus, teasing and Cambodia Cape village next to the children, lazily spent the last time in Phnom Penh.The airport also has one thing that made me sit up and take note of the attendant in Phnom Penh.
We accidentally will a sense for many years Switzerland Saber placed in carry-on luggage is found, in the light of love, so shamelessly phase, a final quick wits to please its help to the crew that the aircraft after landing of repossessed again, officials after a short hesitation was nodding apart from qianenwan Xie, still under the palpitating heart, arrived in Shanghai is heuristically to crew, and sure enough as equals, ordained sigh!11: 10, the aircraft arrived at Pudong airport.
Snow squalls of Shanghai to meet us in return. Although I have set myself muffled but quenching temperature reduction and a blade-like cold war still makes me shiver. More terrible is the aircraft could not stop veranda, let us take the bus to the airport! poor just wearing short-sleeve shorts compatriots all over frozen into deep purple, gaining a great sigh! airport service so poor, raspberry!DAY9 (19 February 2005 richu 11 Saturday), sunny and very cold

In the morning to do-trembling when out of bed, the airport last night in the hotel air conditioning all night turned faintly, moist cold room let me sleep.
Consequences of bad weather more than these, since the dump of snow that aircraft engines need urgent subject to freezing, most of the aircraft was delayed flights, we also. Two hours later we finally boarding, but after a while also informed that, because of the freeze again, for security reasons, you need the second subject to freezing. I belonged to seats started dozing off. Drowsy, washed up on the airplane yunxiao, drowsy, aircraft arrived in Beijing.
