The day started at 7am with breakfast and waiting for the bus to start my journey from Siem Reap to Bangkok. It took over three hours to actually cross the Cambodia/Thailand border. And we didn't get dropped off on the side of the road in Bangkok until dark. Literally on the side of the road on an off ramp or something like that.
But....
I met this fantastic British girl named Sophie! And we've had a blast tonight! Earlier, she planted the thought of a Mc Donald's cheeseburger in my head and I got stuck on the idea of a soda with ice. I will never take ice for granted ever again, along with that, the joy of having an ice cold refreshing beverage!
Anywhoo... she ended up checking into the same hostel with me and we went off in search of Mc Donald's. I was starving, hadn't eaten anything since breakfast. You'd think a cab would want to take our money, but we got into two separate cabs and neither would take us. We finally found a tuk tuk driver who was willing to take us to the golden arches. On the way, he presumed to tell us that we needed to walk back to the hostel to exercise. Then it was another hassle to get a taxi to get back to the hostel. Obviously, we didn't exercise.
Anyways, we've been hanging out and laughing since we got back and are both quite happy and content with the evening. To bad she's leaving tomorrow to head south towards the beaches.
