Slice Of Life #62 - Going To Siem Reap - Day Three - Happened on 20/10/2017 - Tuesday 14th, 2017- 14/11/2017 - Wrote On 13/10/2017

    It was our third day in Siem Reap. We still could eat in the Damnak Lounge because we were staying in the privilege floor - the 4th floor. but we chose not to because there wasn't much to eat in the Damnak Lounge, except for the fact that the juices they serve there are fresh, and you get more privacy. We went down to the ground floor restaurant, like the day before and started to get our food. A person asked us if we wanted them to make some noodles that we sort of customized yesterday because we were vegetarian, but we told her "It's okay, we're good.". I went to get some noodles with vegetables and also some hash browns.  I also ate some bake beans and some rice. 
    After breakfast, we went to find our tour guide for our boat tour, and we found the guide just outside the door waiting for us. We went to pick up another person (a woman) and then set off to our destination. It would take about 45 minutes from the hotel we were at now. Along the way, the guide stopped the car to get some ice and water. I saw the big, fat, and chunky cube of the ice. The ice was quite thick, the with of the ice at least 5 inches long. He got some water and some wet tissues and out all the items in. On the car, we told the tour guide that we were vegetarian, so our food would need to be vegetarian. He told us the agenda of the day, and pretty much for the rest of the car trip was all questions.
    Upon reaching, we saw some kids going to school on a school bus, which looked more like a boat on land rather than a school bus. It's hard to believe how different school buses can look in different areas. We finally reached the village where we would be setting off. We got on the boat and started to set off. A kid who was not too tall, just about my age did not go to school, so he came on the boat with us. His father came together with us.
    In the boat, it was hard to talk because of the loud roar of the engine. Too talk, we had to shout over the loud roar of the engine. The tour guide had some binoculars and let all of us look in it. I was the first person to have the binoculars, then came my dad, who was sitting behind me. After that was my mom and finally it was the woman's turn. We passed by a floating village, but we were not stopping there. I read some information about the sea we were passing all until we reached the floating village.
    We went down the boat, went to the restrooms, and then got on the small canoe boat. We did not row the boat, but it was all until my mom's "boat driver" handed me a big leaf. I started to use that to paddle. When we got to the fish feeding area, I lost my paddle when it slowly floated away from me. Just then, they were feeding the fish. The fishes were splashing around, fighting for food. We also got to see the floating garden. We chose the one way option, so our "boat drivers" dropped us at the area where the community came together. I was quite surprised to see that they had a pool table with people playing there. We saw some alligators, some big ones and some small ones. They used them to earn money when they sold them.
    After that, we ate lunch. There was some fried stuff, some rice, and some vegetables. After eating lunch, we went for the weaving class, which was quite complicated at first, but then it got easier and easier. We got to take the things we made home, and then we went to buy a basket to keep our keys. Our whole trip ended there. We then began the long way home. I slept most of the time, and because of that, it felt like we reached in a short time. We dropped the woman back to her hotel and it was then our turn. It was a really fun day.
Another plain day of school for you too? Where are you going? Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks For Reading My Blog!!! Please "Give" Me Any Comments You Have In The Comments Section Below!!! Stay Updated Some Other Good Posts!!!
