Snacks provided by the bus. An egg tart, chocolate muffin, tuna bun & a bottle of drinking water. Quite yummy i must say..or maybe i was hungry..lol

Kampong Thom - this is where we stopped for lunch

interesting scenario

we were crossing the river by ferry

'Blonde' kid..begging for money..pity though,but dont ever try to give anything if u don't want to be surrounded by other beggar kids as well.

My sis Nie looks so 'bengang' haha actually terkejut sebab the moment dia selak langsir,muka budak blonde ni bertempel kat cermin..haha

Our bus 'steward'..Mekong Express Limousine Bus is the best bus if you want to travel to Saigon.

Trust me because when we came back later to Siem Reap, we took another bus & it was a Bus from Hell ( honking every 5 minutes & it was like going to fall apart anytime ) u can't even close ur eyes for 1 minute!
