Martine, Mary and I left school right away on Friday afternoon on the 10th. After a 6 hour (rather pleasant) bus trip, we were at a Thailand/Cambodia border town. The border closed before we got there, like we knew it would, so we found a little 24 hour guesthouse to stay in.
We got a room with 2 bedrooms...not knowing that the beds would be this small:
Martine and I ended up sharing a bed that night. Here she is illustrating my side of the bed, and her side of the bed.
I actually had a great night that night, but Martine on the other hand did not.
The next day we were up bright and early to go to the border. We heard a lot about there being scams at the border, but other than some confusion/attempted scammery at the beginning of our border journey, everything went smoothly. We had a Cambodian official help us cross, probably a service (we noticed) they offer to young women who may be more vulnerable to scams and harassment.
We ended up having him show us a good place to dance that night in Cambodia as well, which was a lot of fun. Another thing we noticed was that Cambodians, unlike Thais, like to dance.

ReplyDeleteYup, gotta watch those grammar/spelling mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI remember sleeping with you when you were little. You were a kicker! You also would move around so much that you would be sideways across the bed.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt, Martine would not have had a good night in that small bed with you.
