Cambodia - bye Bangkok, hello Phnom Penh

Just day one! Well, day minus one and day 1!
After spending some time in a different area of Bangkok, wasting time in a beautiful city garden, I waited for my bus to Cambodia, not knowing what to expect at all!
The funniest trip happened, minibus to the border, accompanied by Cambodians, one in particular became a tour guide, giving me so many great tips on visiting his country. Kimlong had been in Bangkok buying animals for his pet shop in particular sugar gliders (look them up!) whose squeak sounded like they were giggling and tiny little hedgehogs! He was great company and along with lonely planet, this part of the trip has been designed mainly with their help and guidance.
The minibus dropped us all off, me being the only foreigner, was shown the border control and waited to be let in! All good but then I was popped into a motorbike and delivered to the bus stop and onto a sleeper bus!
An amazing experience but firstly, motorbike and no one told me that Cambodia drive on the right! After 4 months of driving on the left, I almost screamed!
The bus and I got to Phnom Penh at 5am, a walk to my hotel and a day of finding my way!
First impressions: busy, hot, crazy, beautiful, interesting and friendly!
Day one was about walking, national museum and more walking.
Wanted to share day one of a different country with you all which I think is going to be a very interesting one.Read more
