A culture shock
The very first time we send our bicycle to oversea have a cycling tour . From Vietnam to Cambodia about 800 km +- . Cycling Vietnam with Intrepid Travel had been entirely my idea, and so I only had myself to blame as I pushed, tough rotation after heavy revolution, all the way from Vietnam to Cambodia over one weeks. Thoughts of relaxing at bars , trains and planes would come and go in my mind as I drifted between pure happiness and satisfaction, and desperation .
​
Of course, it was that feeling at the top, the feeling of achievement shared with my group of us that made this trip leagues better than any lounger holiday.
​
We always be the most shinning around in Vietnam .The first impression to us is traffic & motorcycle was terrible for us . And the language for sure . Until reach the hostel meet a new friend name ANN who able communicated in English . We required her bring us cycle around Ho Chi Min city for a night . Learn most local new experiences about culture & history & cuisine from ANN . Without she we unable to speak a word of Vietnam . " KA MENG " ( thank you ) her for everything .
​
Night after that , took a photo before we leave hostel . Set off from hostel to Cambodia ( Angkor Wat ) . God blessing us all the time , we met a unknown guy to lead us along the way and save the most exotic day . Helps from the stranger with ask for any refund which is showing in our video , lesson one " trust is earned when action meet words " .
Our advice , don't let people to control your life , wake up people & step out to the world with your eye . It's bring you to another level of the life . Look at the thing in different perspective .
​
The final destination was Angkor Wat "Capital Temple" . Is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world . This is a unique way to experience the Cambodian culture and at the same time learn about the history of Angkor. On this tour we will visit five main temples but enjoy the scenery of the rice fields and Cambodian villages. We will ride on bike along the magnificent Angkor moat and through Khmer local villages and the lush shady forest. It is a good way to see the daily activities and life here. Explore the magnificent Angkor Temple complex with it's many tempels. On this tour you will visit the most important temples.
​
Before we leave Cambodia , met a group of people from Malaysia and had dinner together . The day was Alex birthday , so we have a celebration along together in simple way . Happy Birthday to Alex . At the same time , we have some crazy idea to have a " takellslow" tattoo & we ask one of our friend from Malaysia get a memory tattoo . We had no regrets to get the tattoo , a story to three of us . Best and ever had .
