Cambodia Trip ~ Hari 1

Bonjour... Hello peeps! i'm here to update my cobweb-blog :) Back home from Cambodia Trip [backpacking style]...aha, after experienced backpack style and tour agent style, i prefer backpack coz i can spend more time at a place we visit without rushing.. spent 5 days 4 nights at Cambodia was a great moment with new buddies.

Starting my journey on 20th January 2012 at 1.00am from Ipoh to LCCT using Star Shuttle located at Bercham...Ticket RM42/pax..first time try naik bus direct ke LCCT and i found it easy dari stop at KL.. arrived around 5.15am and met my travel buddies at Mc D.. had breakfast before boarding... delayed to 7.45am coz heavy rain.. took 1 hr 45 mins.. sunny weather at Phnom Penh...

~we arrived!~

 ~on the way to bus station~

Went to bus station by tuk tuk..charged USD7/ tuk tuk..we hired 2 tuk tuk for 6 of us..here, we got cheated by the riders coz they brought us to so called kampung-station bus :) Naik bus Paramount fees USD10/pax..took longggg time to reach Siem Reap.. almost 7 hours and the road totally worst! BUT i can see true Cambodian along the way! [suppose take a bus at town near Central Square not here]

 ~along to Siem Reap~

At Siem Reap we hired tuk tuk with Salim for 3 days USD48/tuk tuk so, they already waited to fetch us at bus station.. Bus station looks like workshop -.- Sunny, hot and dusty... make sure bring face mask here to cover ur nose and mouth..dorang bawak terus ke guest house Bun Seda USD60/room for 3 nites....best location becoz near to Night Market!! good to throw ur money ^^ after a nite spent there, one of our buddy kena bed-bug.. spoiled and request to change another room.... yang tak tahan sebab kena bau asap colok dorang..huh!

 ~3 pax/room~

That nite, Salim bawak dinner kat D'Halal Restaurant.. Standard makan nasi goreng USD5/plate excluded government tax :( After full, back to Bun Seda to recharge for next day activities...

Note: i'm a budget traveller so, all amount calculated ^^

Journey to Kamunting

Selamat sampai dari Cambodia on 25 Januari 2012.. Mujurlah ader orang nak jemput sebab both brothers balik kampung sempena Chinese New Year but balik KL awal by train. Since ada orang jemput, tak payah la aku naik bas pi KL Sentral.

Ok, after spending few days kat KL, aku kena balik Perak jugak before start keje. Balik of course kena naik bas sebab direct to Kamunting. Kalo stop kat Ipoh dah lama naik tren jer..senang and pantas. Before balik, boleh pulak pi Mines pekena Tutti Frutti and Mc D. Dah kenyang, baru Ijai hantaq pi stesen LRT Star Sungai Besi. Blurr jap sebab kena beli token sendiri.. Baca instruction kat mesin tu, and yeahhh...i got the token. Kaunter dah tak guna kecuali untuk tukar dwit syiling sahaja. All, self service hokkay! But i like it :) Explore new thing  kat negara sendiri.

Sebagai pengguna bas tak tegar kini, kira ini first time aku jejak kaki kat Puduraya yang baru. Wahh, canggih, lawa dan bersih. Aku suka la sebab masuk-masuk jer dah dok dalam ekon. ^^ berpinau bijik mata carik kaunter tiket tapi mata aku nampak sign tandas. Owh, baik aku masuk wee room dulu untuk buat apa yang patut. Tanya orang kat mana kaunter tiket. Rupanya kaunter tiket kat tingkat 3 [if not mistaken la].. carik konsortium and nak tiket paling cepat. Ada bus yang dah nak jalan pukul 2 and aku nak bas tu.. Lepas beli, berlari aku turun bawah carik platform.

 

 

 

Lagi sekali, aku blurr camne nak turun bawah. Haih, kena push button untuk bukak pintu rupanya. Memang la canggih Puduraya baru nie. Mujoq bas dok tunggu lagi tapi boleh pulak driver hon kat aku..sajer nak bagi aku glamer la tuh... Seat nomot satu, aku dok depan sekali.. Selesa dan clear pandangan sepanjang perjalanan.

Holla...

Holla peeps!
Merry Christmas~
