My trip in Cambodia
In 2011, my mother and I went to Cambodia. We visited my paternal grandparents , my aunties, my uncles, my cousins, my nieces, and my friends, and we joined a ceremony for my maternal grandmother dead who had been for 7 years. After that we traveled to Kompongsom Province, Koh Kong Province, Siem Reap Province, Battombong Province, and visited some places in Phnom Penh City.
When we arrived in Phnom Penh airport, we met my grandparents, my aunties, and my uncles. They came to pick us up and take us to my youngest auntie's house. My mother and I stayed at my auntie's house for 2 months in Phnom Penh city. We arrived in my auntie's house together and ate food at one round table. My aunty made some food that I liked. I hadn't eaten those kind of foods for a long time. Those foods came from Cambodia only. We ate and asked many questions because we hadn't seen each other for long times. So, we talked a lot. My aunties asked how I was doing and if I liked the US. They asked me how the US was different from Cambodia or the same. I said that I was fine.
I liked the United States and didn't like some points because my families lived there I liked USA but in United States had 4 seasons. I didn't like winter in USA because it is very cold and I drove car make it slide. Then I was difficult to speak English because I knew English a little bit. In USA had many nationalities, a lot of different languages, people in USA used cars a lot, had highways, and modern technology. Whereas some foods were different from Cambodian foods. I didn't know how to cook American foods and some ingredients I didn't know how to do eating it. In United States had many kinds different from Cambodia. Lands and houses needed to pay taxes but in Cambodia houses and lands didn't need to pay taxes. Many laws in USA was different from Cambodia's laws. In many roads but narrow and it didn't have highway. Everyone in USA obey the law but in Cambodia some people obey the law and some people didn't obey the law. In Cambodia used ancient tools for agriculture but in USA used machines more than people. People in had right for equality for all America even though blacks, whites, and they were different racial. Especially in New York had a lot of high building. People in America had jobs and less unemployment but in Cambodia had a lot of people unemployment and deport to work and left to live in foreign countries. In Cambodia used car less had a lot of motorcycles and bicycles. Some roads had dirties fly to make people unhealthy. In spring in the United States had a lot of beautiful flowers on the roads look like heaven. After we ate and talked a lots may be 4 hours later we separated way go home themselves.
The next morning my aunty and uncle brought us to visit the royal palace, a museum, an Olympic stadium, the river side, and Koh Pich Island. In the royal palace we visited a Preah Keov Morokot temple and a beautiful garden. Then we went to the museum and visited a lot of ancients statues and many histories on statues and ancients tools. We continued to Olympic stadium we saw a lot of people exercise by dancing follow the music which had guide to teach how to dance. Some people played tennis and run race. My aunty brought us to swim in swimming pool I liked it. In evening may be 5 o'clock we went back to river side in front of royal palace. A lot of people went there some people walked to exercise and some people sat down on the stone looked to the river got fresh air from wind blow made feel well. We saw boats bring their customers back and forth on the river and fisherman was fishing fishes. In the dark may be 6.30 PM we bought tickets to visit a ancient temple was a preah vihea temple made from ice in koh pic island. We went in there make me cold look like winter in USA but it looked a beautiful temple and nice.
missed every bodies lived in there. I remembered everything that I .used to live there.
When we came back from homeland we went to visit ancient temples in siem reap province. We visited old temples. These ancient temples had a lot of foreigner come from different countries in the world to ancient temples. These temples related to histories in Cambodia long time ago.
After that we triped to battombong province that my grandparents celebrated a ceremony to finish building gave to monks in Buda religion. People in this province grew rice. We looked on the land all green and smell good.
At the end of this time, we tripped to kompongsom province and koh kong pronice. I liked sea foods in kompongsom province. The beach in kompongsom province looked different from beach that I lived in USA. We continued to koh kong province to visit suffer river and a market in Thailand border with Cambodia. In suffer river we saw monkeys boxing, many kind of animals almost lost them, and do fins fish jumped over. A market in Thailand border we shopped in there and we looked many boats that they were fishing on the sea.
This time I was very happy that I visited in Cambodia and met my families. I couldn't forget this trip. Next time I will come back again. Goodbye my trip see you a new opportunity when I will well come back in Cambodia again. Tomorrow my mother and I left to USA.
