Cambodia-Day 1

OK. This will be a long story to write.

I went to Cambodia on 19 Dec. A day before Hari Raya Haji. I followed Yayasan Salam trip to go there. I don’t know anyone who joins the trip...but never mind...redah jerla. After about 3 hour’s journey, we land to this country safely. Feel excited to explore this country which famous of Pol Pot history but and at the mean time we bear in mind that we need to be very careful with citizen there.

At the airport, my friend, Elly, lost her luggage. Luckily, there is a man who notice Elly luggage had been taken by someone else. Thanks to him, Elly ran towards the person who took her luggage. I was following behind Elly. If Elly just one minute late, maybe she will lost her luggage. Then after a few minutes ‘drama’ between them, Elly got back her luggage and that woman had been arrested by the Imegresen.

We ride by a van to go to the Phnom Penh town; have our dinner and took Faezah, Hakim’s sister and also our lovely Mama. Then, we continue seven hours journey to Kampung Praksantai, Kratie. Kampung Praksantai is a Muslim village. If I not mistake, Muslim are called as Cham there. So the activity throughout the journey-we learn a few words of Khmer language. Saksabay for hello, akun for thank you and a few more which I not remembered.

We arrived to the village late at 1130 pm. Everyone might sleep already because the village was so quiet and dark. We all stay at Sarah house; which is the most beautiful house in the village. Sarah served us with bahulu that she baked by herself and tea. I just fall asleep after drink a cup of tea. Too exhausted with the journey that day.
