Ok so for the KhmerNew Year I had only 3 days off and was invited to Kratie Province to stay with my Cambodian workmate's family,my workmate is called Noch.I did not know what to expect..but I was ready for anything and everything.Noch's brother was supposed to come pick us up on Tuesday at 5:30pm,but he didn't come until way after 7pm!Oh well.Her other family members were going as well,so there was 8 of us.His car was a pickup truck and Noch,her two cousins and I decided to sit in the back of the truck(bad idea).Drama started when I couldn't get my huge(and cute)ass up the truck hahahaaa ,but that was because I had to climb up from the tyre..it was too high for me lol..so they offered to physically help me...like have some one on the truck pull me up and some push me up from down..I was like that's ridiculous!no way am doing that!!So they had to get me a chair to step on...haha.And off we went.
