Welcome to King Norodom Sihamoni's Birthday Extravaganza Weekend!
The city was definately alive. People were everywhere, dancing in the street and children were rampant. We were stared at a lot. Sidewalks were huge and dominated by street vendors, parked cars, houses, spirit houses, and stray animals. Traffic rules are virtually non-existent, the most aggressive vehicle is king of the road.
We discovered some tasty new treats including cafe au lait, rambutan, mangostein, locus seeds, and coconut drinks.
Hotel Anise: This is our guest house (hotel), which is centrally located in the city. It's hot. Unbelievably hot. Really, really hot. The rooms are comfortable if you put the airconditioner on powerful supersonic and keep water bottles in the freezer. Mattresses are just like sleeping on the floor, but we are unbelievably lucky to sleep here, because many people sleep in the back of their tuktuk.
What's a tuktuk? Oh, glad you asked. It's a motorcycle with a carriage in the back. It's super fun because you can squish up to 7 people (We haven't tried any more... yet) and it has no walls- great air conditioning. The other option of travel is a moto, which can carry whole families, or just a monk. Some people own cars with brand names on the side. LEXUS, LANDROVER, etc.
BTW, it's HOT.
