It's morning. You've slept well and rested nicely. My feet are quite cold right now. I think that in about a week, this place will be covered quite a bit; that's just my guess. A friend bought me coconut juice yesterday, but oh no, I spilled it. It's really refreshing and delicious. I’ll try to step outside a bit. I put on my best look to go outside, and since I thought it might rain, I went to grab an umbrella, but it seems like it's indeed raining. 

My friend is at a model agency. They are practicing here with the models. Right now, one woman is practicing alone, but my friend has represented Miss Cambodia in the Miss Universe Cambodia pageant for four consecutive years. There was no competition last year due to COVID-19. And right next to me is the winner from 2019, and just watching her is fun.

Ah, I really didn't expect to have this experience, but it's fun. I wish I could meet all the women here. When I came 12 years ago, I met a very famous singer in Cambodia named Kha. I took pictures with her, and those who have followed my travel stories for a long time would know about it. So, I'm thinking there might be some fun experiences here as well. Cambodia has changed a lot; it's very different from the past. 

Wow, this place feels completely Chinese. Oh, it's a Chinese store here. I guess I can just go with the flow. That's good. It's been a while since I've had power. I can't eat everything, but I met my friend Nod for the first time in over ten years. We shared stories about the time we hadn't seen each other. Nod asked me if I remembered the day 12 years ago when the car accident happened. I, of course, remembered it well because...

On the day of my trip to Cambodia in 2011, there was a launch party for a fashion magazine. After the party, while I was in a friend's car, we got into a collision with a motorcycle. It was a day I couldn't forget, as many events coincided. That day, I not only greeted the event staff but also met some acquaintances from Cambodia. I even saw the famous singer Kaye for the first time that day, and I remember the congratulatory performance. After a short party, we moved to another location, where I recall having a few beers. Looking back now, I quickly felt drowsy. When I find it hard to keep my eyes open, I usually fall asleep right away, but that day I was sleepier than usual. Not long after, my friends and I left that place. Oh, the reason I was so drowsy that day was that someone had slipped something into my drink. My friends all agreed that the culprit was someone who was there with us that day.

I couldn't remember who it was since they were Chinese. I wonder why they drugged me. It could have been a terrifying fact that some of the people who were with me were homosexuals, and it seems one of them targeted me. I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't had friends with me. Oh, it makes me shudder. This story is already over ten years old, but I learned about it during this trip. Nowadays, there are even more incidents like this than in the past. We have to be careful on our own. Thinking back, I almost got into big trouble. I came to a place to buy something. You must always check your change. In Thailand, for example, there could be things included that you didn't order, or the change could be incorrect, or you might receive a wrong bill. You have to be careful when you make purchases. I also used to accept money without thinking.

In our country, using card payments has become quite familiar, so I was a bit taken aback when I came here after a long time. Sometimes, the money can feel a bit strange. Of course, we do use cash for smaller denominations, but the incentive card payments don’t always show what you ordered clearly. However, you must definitely check the receipt. The exchange rate in Cambodia has been about 4,000 riels to 1 dollar for what seems like 20 years, and it hasn’t changed much. But at the bank, they offer around 4,000 or so riels for 1 dollar, so if you go to the bank, you can gain a little bit. In Cambodia, the dollar is used almost like a secondary currency, similar to how it is used in our country, so you need to confirm the calculations and check your usage. 

Oh, this pizza has a thick crust. Do you have any allergies? No? Okay, good. Sorry, oh yeah, that’s why I ordered it, but it has anchovies in it. I ordered a lasagna, but I ended up getting a pizza instead.

안에 멸치가 있더라고요. 아, 이거 익지 않네. 그래도 맛있습니다. FR Landing, you and I together, like, yeah, I like, yeah. I know, is there right? 오늘은 친구 따라 같지는 친구들, 어, 배고파 배구 보왔습니다. 

Dupi pasis saat at bundok, sa simu, sa langit, may dilag ang tula at awit. Sa pagkasimula, ilang oras 시난 게임을 안 하 있어요. 

팬의 저녁입니다. 아, 아까 나왔는데, 나오자마자 비가 너무 많이 오는 거예요. 결국 원래 플랜은 적고 많이 심란합니다. 여행이 이제 한 달 전에 왔어야 할 이곳인데, 뭐, 여기서 또 친구 집에서 일주일 정도 쉰다고 보내고요. 근데 아직도 예, 발은 덜 나섰어요. 다친 지 이제 한 달이 다 돼가는데, 그런 옛날 생각을 했는데, 아, 지금은 비가 너무 많이 와요. 비 때문에 못 걷는 이런 상황이 저한테 이렇게 힘들게 다가올 줄 몰랐어요. 어쨌거나 지금 할 수 있는 대로 해보려고 합니다.

Finding small happiness is what we can do, right? It's frustrating, really. Ah, avocado, avocado, avocado. Yes, spicy, spicy, yes. The atmosphere is great. The weather is really nice. Looking at the soup, it seems like there's blood in it. Oh, it seems like it has blood inside. It looks delicious. The soup tastes a bit sweeter than the one I had at the place where I ate avocado. It's good. Wow, the minced meat is amazing. It's delicious. Cambodia is famous for its pepper, right? It's sweet and salty. Wow, it's really tasty. If the avocado gets boring, I can eat this. The syrup is good. Oh, this is really the most delicious avocado smoothie I've had during my travels. The portion is large, right? There’s a lot of avocado in it. It feels sticky, and the avocado flavor is strong, along with the sweetness.

넣겠죠. 이러다가 또 이야기가 막히네요. 맛있고 친구 집에서 집밥을 요새 먹다가 조이로 왕 싱거 먹으니까, 아, 또 감사해지네요. 아, 이거 떠나기 좀 생각날 것 같은데, 진짜 잘 먹었어요. 천 위에 딱 4불 왔거든요. 먹는 게 제일 쉬운 행복입니다. 코노 팬에 있는 러시아 마켓입니다. 어제 갔던 그 우수 집에 가려고 했는데, 문을 닫았어요. 중국식 라면을 너무 먹고 싶어 가지고 그게 갑자기 떠올랐는데, 아, 먹고 싶다 했는데, 가능기를 보니까 이게 있네요. 북경 라면 대왕. 여기도 면을 비슷하게 만드는지 안 만드는지 모르겠지만 너무 궁금해서, 예, 생각을 하니까 이게 갑자기 눈에 띄어서 오게 됐습니다. 주문한 거는 루들 스프 위드 비프 라면. 얘가 직접 만드나 봐요. 지금 가네이 수타면 기대를 해 보면서, 아, 새 진하네요.

The food we ordered has arrived, and here is the owner. Yes, we talked a bit with him. The water is good, and then, because of this, there is a dish called Chinese ramen, which you can mix in and enjoy. Previously, I thought he was Japanese, but he turned out to be Korean. Since I only watch Chinese news while I'm in China, it's easy to misunderstand and think that the Chinese people are spreading fake news. However, it seems that foreigners living abroad are relatively less affected by this. The young people I met while traveling abroad, especially my friends, seemed to be less influenced. Right now, I've heard that there is a lot of drug addiction in Cambodia, which is causing many problems. In particular, in places like Sihanoukville, there are so many casinos that competition for entrance has become intense, leading to fights among the Chinese people there. Crime has also increased significantly.

이런 면을 정말 기다렸습니다. 여기 지금 보고 괜찮다고 생각해요. 던게이 컵에 뜨거운 물을 담아 가지고 젓가락이랑 이걸 주거든요. 위생 이야기를 하면서 보니까 이게 눈에 들어오더라고요. 제가 중국식당에서 단 한 번도 이렇게 한쪽을 본 적이 없어요. 마음에 든단 말입니다. 이거 하나 더 먹을까? 국 먹을 것 같아요. 전쟁이네. 면 식감을 해가지고 쌀국수는 먹는 거 좋아합니다. 리정 민주당 대표이기를 하시네. 신기하다. 뭐 알 수도 있지. 생각해 보면 우리도 가까운 슈고, 또 서로 나라의 뉴스에 대해서 많이 주목을 하잖아요. 특히 중국에서 걸러진 그런 뉴스 같은 게 상대적으로 적으니까, 페이스북이나 이런 것들을 통해서 알 수 있는데, 중국 자체에서는 그런 것들이 적어 가지고 걸러진 걸 볼 수밖에 없죠. 너무 아쉽네요.

Thank you, thank you. Yes, I had a good meal. Oh, I was talking a lot with the gentleman about the economy and politics. He was very friendly and shared some good insights. There was even talk about how the U.S. might be hoping for a war between our country and North Korea. Who knows, that could be true. Anyway, I enjoyed the conversation a lot. I had a really delicious meal, and I wonder if I'll have a chance to eat here again. As for noodles, I probably won't have many opportunities to eat them until I go nationwide. So I focused on enjoying the taste, and I feel like I want to eat even more. This is the Russian market, and I understand there are many food stalls and clothing shops here. I also know that when Koreans come here, they often buy dried goods and things like that.

Wow, this is a one-hit wonder. I realized that when I was in Thailand, it was really less than a dollar, around 30 or 40 baht for a meal. It was so cheap! I remember eating 2 to 3 kilograms of food back then, which is quite cute to think about. I should have eaten more. Oh, and I exchanged money at a gold shop. The exchange rate was 4,135 baht for 1 dollar. The rates vary depending on where you go, but I wouldn't change it at a cheap place. It's slightly over 41 baht. So if you take 100 dollars, you get about 1% to 3% more. I see that 450 baht is the rate here, which makes calculations easier. If you exchange 100 dollars, you get 15,000 baht, so that's about 3.75 dollars more. Now, where am I headed? I need to go down to Panbae, but I'm just hanging around.

늦었네요. 여기 헬로 더 나 하나던 물건을 찾으러 왔는데 없네요. 아, 아이패드 케이스였는데 여기 들고 왔는데 없어요. 누가 가져갔거나 그럴 것 같아요. 아, 잠깐, 티켓 빨리 확인하러 가겠습니다. 야, 1일 주일 20달러 이런 것도 있네요. 혹시 했는데 오늘도 비가 멈출 리가 없죠. 와, 버스 회사가 여기 몇 개 있는 것 같아요. 코너 팬 호치민 단단 버스, 여기 되게 유명하고, 한국산 제일 많이 타는 거예요. 금모 삼고 베트남 모르겠는데, 캄보디아 내에서 좀 문제 있는 회사들이 좀 있거든요. 사고 나면 뒤처리도 별로라서 아무튼 제가 후기를 봤습니다. 또 티켓부터 좀 알아볼게요. 스케줄 여기 있네요. 아, 근데 진짜 심심하다. 아이, 가야겠다. 남은 잔돈 다 쓰고 내일 가랍니다. 가자.
