Chapter 125: Folding Wings XXXVI
The last day of the Cambodian New Year holiday has arrived. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info passes, not fast or slow. A rare sensation......
Every trip in the past was in a hurry, rushing to go, rushing back, and the next day I had to immediately switch to work mode, which was very tiring.
I can't think of that trip that God arranged for me, so take care of my mood. Although I went in a hurry, after returning to the dormitory, I was able to buffer for two days before going to work, which was really a pleasure!
Thinking about the colleagues who traveled to Thailand, they had to take a bus from Thailand back to Cambodia early that morning, and they had to sit for almost a day, which was already uncomfortable enough. What's more, I have to go to work the next day. Buffer time, only one night. You know, you have to wash your clothes for a few days......
The night I got back to my dorm, it took me a few hours to wash my clothes and tidy up what I had to do. Tere......
So, thank God for arranging a trip that didn't rush me from start to finish.
That trip was exceptional. Because after a previous group trip to Angkor Wat, my eyes were reluctantly wet. And after that trip, I didn't feel it at all, it was over. It's like, go to a restaurant for a meal, and leave after eating, there is no superfluous feeling, and there is no reluctance. This is also rare.
So, was that trip worth the money?
If you look at the scenery alone, because it was the rainy season in Bali at that time, there were many cloudy days, so the scenery was not beautiful enough, and it was not as beautiful as many beautiful sea views I had seen. Well, it's not worth the money I'm giving.
But if you look at it from the perspective of physical and mental growth, it's different.
In Bali, I experienced diving with an oxygen tank on my back and flying in an umbrella for the first time, which I never thought I would do. Because I couldn't swim, I didn't think I'd dive, and in my mind's head, I thought diving requires being able to swim, and I can't swim. Because I was afraid of heights, I didn't think that I would fly into the sky with an umbrella, and my feet would shake twice even when I looked down from a tall building. However, I went to experience it all, and it broke my psychological fear.
Also, when I first saw the sea, I started to learn to swim. Although I am a slow learner, as long as I go to the sea, I will learn to swim and try to break through.
A few times down, in the Balinese pool, I found the feeling of swimming. Although not yet proficient, it has made great progress.
Also, on that trip to Bali, I flew back and forth four times. That's an experience, too. Because before that, I had only flown once, from Guangzhou to Phnom Penh. I sat on a trip four times at that time, and I felt much more profound!
Also, I used my camera very rarely during that trip, and I learned to try shooting in aperture mode and shutter mode, and it felt good. This laid the foundation for me to use my camera to take pictures when I traveled in the future.
And yes, I felt the comfort of massage for the first time during that trip, and it gave me a new perspective on the industry......
So, from the point of view of physical and mental growth, that trip was worth the money I gave! Actually, I didn't give a lot of money, probably the price of an Apple Six......
It's just that the Apple Six can be used for a long time, and the trip is only for a few days......
My travels, my travels, are the heart.
Time goes on.
The gains and losses can often be felt, and talking too much is the big truth. But, I like to talk about it.
Because I chose the big tour, I missed the atmosphere that I could feel during the Cambodian New Year. I don't know how the local people celebrate the New Year.
However, although there is some imbalance between gains and losses, it does not mean that all gains and losses are complete. Because if you want to keep the balance of gains and losses intact, there must be at least factors on both sides.
So, there will be no all-win-or-lose.
Therefore, although I can't fully feel the atmosphere of the Cambodian New Year, I can feel it a little bit.
On the evening of the seventh day of the holiday, I rode the "Big Black" to relax as usual. The only difference was that instead of a checkered shirt, I wore a black tank top.
When I first rode out of the trail, I felt quite quiet, after all, many people went back to the countryside for the Chinese New Year. You don't need to be so cautious when you ride a bike, and you don't have to worry about a child running into the middle of the road all of a sudden.
Continue to ride, halfway through the ride, and start to make a detour.
So, I was fortunate to see the way they celebrated the New Year - splashing water and sprinkling talcum powder.
And the way they celebrate is very domineering!
Well, a group of people directly blocked the road!
If you want to pass by, don't buy road money, just splash water and powder on us......
The Cambodians who passed by on motorbikes in front of us all had to stop and let them splash water and sprinkle powder, and they were satisfied before they could pass.
In fact, this is the consensus of the locals. Even if a stranger Cambodian passes in front of them, they will splash water and powder, and the person who is splashed and dusted must not be angry. This is one of the ways they celebrate the New Year, as well as the atmosphere.
In the back, I was a little stupid. Started to struggle, whether to pass by this road or not??
Thinking about it, I'm already in front of them......
However, they didn't splash water or powder on me. I'm a little weird. Come to think of it, oh, it turns out that they think I am Chinese and dare not splash me with water and powder on me. After all, I didn't wear a checkered shirt because I wore it to look a lot like a Cambodian. Thankfully, I was only wearing a vest. The skin tone on my shoulders is still quite white, wahaha...... As soon as I finished thinking about it, I didn't know who splashed water on my back. I think the mental activity of the person who splashes me with water is like this: I'll splash you, see what happens to you!
Whew, splash it......
After that, all the way down, several sections of the road were blocked by a group of people splashing water and sprinkling powder. Some of the girls originally wanted to rub me powder, but when they saw that I looked like a Chinese, they didn't dare to mess with me.
Fortunately, if someone dares to smear me, then the people after me will definitely think that I can be smeared. In that case, hehe, you can definitely be as embarrassed as you are......
Luckily, I felt lucky enough to wear a vest and go out.
But come to think of it, if you really want to experience that atmosphere firsthand, then you should be splashed and powdered by them. Because only in this way can you feel that you are part of them.
Oh, why do they splash water? Because they have the same Songkran festival as they do in Yunnan. It should be the same in Thailand. Songkran is also known as the Cambodian New Year.
It seems that there is still a chance on the last night of the holiday, should they splash water and powder?
Quack, this thing, once you try it, it will definitely be unforgettable!
