After a very long and dissappointing bus ride that was supposed to be a limousine bus with 80% percent recliner chairs, wifi, free food and most importantly aircon... Instead, the bus was hot and loud with Cambodian ballroom music bursting over the speakers!
Luckily the rest of our time in Phnom Pehn was much more enjoyable. Our new group of 6 roamed around the city during the day and stayed in our first very lively youth hostel. So rambunctious was this hostel that on our first night a random girl tried to sneak into Katy's bed and when she was unsuccessful at convincing Katy to let her sleep at the bottom of her bed she moved on to Rowan's bed!
Our time in Phnom Pehn was spent pacing ourselves through the city's genocide museums. We got to do some more upbeat things as well like roaming,single file through an incredibly expansive indoor market. We also rented atv's and drove around the countryside and we even got to discover a bit of the expat life when we discovered a pub quiz outside the central area of the city. Even though we lost the quiz, I was really happy our team included my friends. It has been great to share a bit of my pre-Peace Corps life with the group. I am so stoked for Vietnam but I have admit that Cambodia is the first country I am sad to be leaving.
