Battambang

Finally we arrived in Battambang! It was time to say goodbye to Sa Em ( our guide ). We all think he was the best guide so far!

Next day...

We did homework ALL day today before going out to a disco.... While we were in there three men came over and asked Dad if Riona could dance with them! I could see Riona going bright red with embarrassment! Dad made Riona go up and dance with them! She felt very self conscious and sat back down again. The men came over AGAIN and asked how old Riona was. Dad said 13 years old and one of the men walked away but the rest stayed and sat next to Riona! It was a cambodian dance rather than a disco. They love enjoying themselves and just dancing. Finally we left!

Next day...

We did more homework before going to the Bamboo train. The Bamboo train is a three metres long and two metres wide bamboo platform on four wheels with a lawn mower engine on the back. It all runs on one track, so if you met another bamboo train you'd have to take your train off the track and wait for the other train to go past. We arrived at the place where the trains turn around so we had to get off and wait for fifteen minutes to get back on the train.

While we were waiting, we started talking to a family from Brighton. All the local children were making things out of palm leaves and giving it to you! Halfway through the ride we stopped to watch the sunset. 

We saw a French family from our hotel and they were doing Gangnam style! We're doing that right round the world! So we decided to join in with them. We said to the family from France and Brighton to meet them at The riverside balcony bar. We stayed at the bar until 11:30PM! It's a really cool made of wood run by an Australian guy.
