Still in the company of Marcin and Rose, we hired a Tuk-Tuk for the day and our friendly driver Ola (aka Oh-la-la) took us to all the sights and monuments in the area.We visited a couple temples, as well as some caves which became the site of atrocities committed under the Khmer Rouge regime. Marcin nearly got bitten by a very ferocious monkey and I had an amazingly frank and open conversation with a young buddhist monk on the benefits of living together before getting married... Most other monks won't even look at a woman so that was quite a surprise. The photo above is of the friendly monk and our local guide overlooking the dry Cambodian landscape towards the border with Thailand.
We ended the day with a delicious Khmer dinner and a couple beers, celebrating our last night together before we meet again, in a few days in Thailand.
Early the next morning, Marcin and Rose rode onto a very long and dusty road to the Thai Border and we headed down to Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, on the bus.
what are the benefits?
ReplyDeleteeternal damnation? whole heartedly agree with you there, i think only boring people could wait until after they were married to live together!
Are you dropping hints there Cazaroo? Planning on changing your living arrangements anytime soon...?
ReplyDeleteThe monk was actually saying that it was a good thing although he was very excited (and me too) when he asked if Chris was my boyfriend and I said, no he's my husband, so cool!
nah, no rush ... don't know if i could live with him!
ReplyDeletepah!
J'ai dû manquer un épisode, mais je n'ai pas trouvé où tu as parlé de Marcin & Rose !
ReplyDeleteQui sont-ils ? D'où viennent-ils ? etc.
