Vimean Ekareach - Phnom Penh Independence Monument

4:37 PM 0 Comments

Hola guys!

Lepas check in hotel simpan barang dalam bilik terus keluar merayau haha. My first destination is Vimean Ekareach. I'm here because my driver bring me here. So here am I!



 It is an Independence Monument. The Independence Monument was built in 1958 to memorialize Cambodia's independence from France in 1953. It is in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa, of the style seen at the Khmer temple at Banteay Srei and other Khmer historical sites.


Sampai sini wajib bergambar dengan monumen ni. Lawa sangat hehe. Ramai juga cameraman berbayar kat situ. Dah lupa harga tapi memang tak mahal gais. Korang nak bayar guna Riel boleh dollar pun boleh. 
 
Kat tepi monumen ni ada jual buah kelapa fresh yang sangat sedap. Harga 1 dollar je. Murah. So wajib beli juga tu haha. Cuaca masa ni memang panas sama je macam Malaysia. Nyaman je air kelapa membasahi tekak ewahh. Tapi rasa seronok berada kat negara orang tu yang sukar nak digambarkan. Kaki travel tau la perasaan tu macam mana haha.

Tuk Tuk

Hola guys!

When I arrived at Phnom Penh International Airport, the tuk tuk driver dah lama tunggu. I stayed at Samnang Laor Phnom Penh Hotel. The hotel provided a tuk tuk to pick me up from the airport to the hotel. Free of charge tau.


The tuk tuk driver masa nak ambil gambar je senyum manis. Actually dia geram tunggu I lama sangat and tak sabar-sabar nak hantar I pergi hotel hahaha. He don't understand English. Even the simple English.

The reasons why I late?

1) Leceh masa nak lepas Immigration. Seperti biasa la kan Immigration nak cop passport la, scan ibu jari la, 4 jari la, nak gambar la.. alahaiii..

2) My friends and I singgah money changer kat airport. The money changer penipu gila. Boleh-boleh dia letak banner besar kat situ cakap "NO MONEY CHANGER OUTSIDE". I yang lurus bendul ni pun kelam kabut tukar US Dollar ke Cambodian Reil -.-' Bila jalan-jalan kat bandar Phnom Penh ada je money changer. Cisss!

3) My friend beli sim card kat luar airport. Tak nak guna data roaming sebab mahal hehe. Nak pilih sim card pun ambil masa, konon nak ambil the best telco laa hahaha. So kat situ pun ambil masa nak fikir haha. Lepas dah pilih, nak setup the phone lagi kan. Tu pasal lambat. About the sim card I will share with you guys in another entry. Hehe.


Public transport kat sini ada bus, motor and tuk tuk. Tuk tuk bersepah merata tempat. Uber pun ada tapi kat sini Uber tak famous and jarang orang guna.




I love seeing something different from my country, Malaysia. Look at the road and the building totally different.


We don't have tuk tuk in Malaysia. I'm so excited naik tuk tuk for the first time in my life hahaha!


My beautiful friend, Jemmy and I on the way to the hotel.

OMG sampai hotel dari hujung rambut sampai hujung kaki I bau asap hahaha. Oh ye if you nak try naik tuk tuk kat Phnom Penh sila bawa mask. Bahaya wooo sedut carbon monoxide T.T

Thanks for reading!

From Kuala Lumpur To Cambodia

9:41 AM 0 Comments

Hola guys!


My flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA 2) was at 7.00 in the morning. Its took only 1 hours 50 minutes to arrive at Phnom Penh International Airport.


 I booked my flight last year in November. Lebih kurang setahun yang lepas la. Its cost me about RM285.92 for return flight. Very cheap ah haha!

Flights: RM151.92
Baggage 20kg: RM114
Two Meals: RM20


Oleh kerana flight I waktu pagi, I booked breakfast sekali. Takut kebulur dalam flight haha. One more thing is for Muslim it's a bit difficult to find a HALAL restaurant in Phnom Penh. Melainkan you wanna try their exotic food like snake, cockroaches, scorpio etc. Bersepah.


Yeah this is my breakfast. Chicken Lasagne. Super yummy and the portion is big. Oh no no not a big portion but maybe because of the cheese. Its made me feel full. Kenyang gila for me la.

Okay.



Dalam flight, cabin crew will give you two form. It is a Customs form. That's why you must always bring your pen when you travel overseas. No need terhegeh-hegeh pinjam pen orang sebelah haha.

If you love to read, bring your books. I love books too but this time I didn't bring my book because I know I'll never read book on plane haha. My seat was 25E. Yeahhh the seat is in the middle. So I'm stuck in the middle ughh. I bring my headphones, my Sony MDR-1000x. The voice cancelling mode is AWESOME. I really love it!!


If you are Spotify user, don't forget to download your favourite song on your phone. Yeah you know you can't use your internet up there. But if you want to use the Air Asia Wifi you can buy it from the cabin crew. I don't know about the price. Maybe RM9 if tak silap.


Okay dah sampai wohoooooo!

Hehe.

Hola guys!



After Indonesia and Macau, my next destination will be Cambodia wohooo! I want to go travel at least twice a year. That is my dream.

If you don't know where the hell is Cambodia, you can read this..

Cambodia (/kæmˈboÊŠdiÉ™/ ( listen) or Kampuchea officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia.

Cambodia has a population of over 15 million. The official religion is Theravada Buddhism, practiced by approximately 95 percent of the population. The country's minority groups include Vietnamese, Chinese, Chams, and 30 hill tribes. The capital and largest city is Phnom Penh, the political, economic, and cultural centre of Cambodia.

The kingdom is a constitutional monarchy with Norodom Sihamoni, a monarch chosen by the Royal Throne Council, as head of state. The head of government is Hun Sen, who is currently Prime minister and the longest serving non-royal leader in South East Asia and has ruled Cambodia for over 30 years.

I will blog about my journey to the west Cambodia soon.
