Assalamua’alaikum, heyaa! What’s
up? Finally, we’re in the final part of my experience visiting Cambodia. Hope
you guys enjoy the previous 3 parts. Feel free if you want something to say,
you can comment below or send me an email. I’m opened to suggestion, critics
etc. So, here we go!
As I told you yesterday that the
third day had not been ended yet. We planned to visit the night market as our
friend had been waiting for us there. Not all of us went to the night market,
there were two of our friends who stayed in the guest house because there was
something they had to do. So, 4 of us left at around 7.30 pm by tuktuk. We
finally met our friend there, she was with her brother. The night market was so
crowded and it was so different with the (wrong) night market we visited in the
first day. There was a huge stage too with some people sang and danced on it.
We did not understand the song at all but people around them were really enjoying
it. There were many souvenirs sold there, not too different with what we found
in the city market we went that evening. But I admit it that the things were much
cheaper there in the night market. Beside souvenirs, there were also foodtruck
with different meals including those unordinary meals. We had dinner before so
that we did not eat at that place. They put the many tables on the floor so
that people can eat there.

We had enough been in the night
market and it was 8.15 I guees. We decided to visit a river near there. We
thought of chilling in the riverside in the last day in Phnom Penh. We passed a
few blocks. There was many lights and it was colorful. We also passed that one block
which were fulled by the night clubs. It was new thing for me to see that night
life even though we did not visit it. I know that there is no difference here,
in my country. But I’ve never went out in the night passing some night clubs so
that is why it was such a new thing for me hahaha.
It took about 15 minutes until we
finally arrived in the riverside. We sat there and talked about stuffs. There were
some ships on that river. It was actually a restaurant that was located on ship.
We had ever got offered too to be on that ship. It needed around 20 USD to be and
eat on that ship. We could see the city light across the river. It was so
calming and peaceful. There were a few people there at that time. I felt I could
just spend the night there because I loved the view and the feeling when I was
there.

Time went by, it was around 10
pm. We had to go back to the guest house. We passed the same route when we went
to the river until we finally ordered tuktuk. Oh, we stopped at the mini market
to buy some drinks before we ordered tuktuk. It did not need a long time until
finally we arrived at the guest house. We then took a rest because tomorrow we
had one NGO left to visit and flight to Jakarta.
Last Day!
We prepared early because we had
to pack our stuffs and the location of the NGO was kinda far. The guest house
was so comfortable that made us difficult to check out, beside we did not want
to leave that soon. And yes, we went to the last NGO with our suitcases. Then we
finally checked out of that guest house and ordered tuktuk. It took about 30
minutes until we finally arrived at the school. So the NGO we visited organized
some schools and it was one of them. It was international elementary school, so
they speak english well. When we arrived there, there were students who were
holding a ceremony. Then they played some games in the same field. They were so
cute actually and it was their first day school. So, there were some parents
too around that school that waiting for their children. We visited each of
their class where they were learning at that time. After visiting their
classes, we went to their office to have a meeting and discuss about stuffs. It
took about 45 minutes until we finally left to have lunch. Due to our suitaces
that will take spaces on the restaurant, we left our suitcases at school and
walk to the near restaurant.
After we finished eating, we went
back to that school to take our suitcases and said goodbye to each other. Then we
ordered the tuktuk and went straight to the airport. Still could not believe
that it was the last day in Phnom Penh. The journey was kinda far. It took
about 45 minutes to the airport. We finally arrived at the airport and waited as
we still got some time before boarding.

I thought the flight was better
than the flight we flew to Phnom Penh. This time, I sat near the window so that
I could see the view clearly. The flight took about 2 and a half hours. So, at
6.30 pm we have already arrived in Jakarta.
