Chapter 18: First Arrival in Cambodia

I had a final lunch with Ah Dong in Saigon, one person listened to Saigon beer, ready to say goodbye to the city, to be honest, a little lonely, because I came to Vietnam for so long, it doesn't mean much to me, I have to make a show to come out, have an explanation for myself, so I made up my mind to go to Cambodia to see it, Ah Dong and I are definitely iron brothers, he said where I go he will accompany me wherever I go, I am stable, he will continue his trip, well, enough fun!

After the two of us had lunch, we booked a ticket to Mupai, a small border city in Cambodia at the junction of Cambodia and Vietnam, and after arriving at Mupai, we could continue to other cities in Cambodia.

After sitting for about half a day, I arrived at the customs of Vietnam and Cambodia, got off the car and passed through the customs, before I could enter Cambodia, I rubbed, this customs, too simple, like the ticket gate of a small scenic spot, I can't help but sigh that it has to be our big China!

Entered Cambodia, it was already night, we first went to the money bank to change some money, ready to eat, Cambodia used money is very interesting, Cambodia's own currency is called Riel, but basically no one uses it, haha, they all use US dollars, here, you go to the ATM to withdraw money, the cash machine spit out the money is also US dollars, there is no Riel, Riel here is basically used to pour change, so it is OK to change money only for US dollars.

After exchanging money, the two of us began to find a place to eat, wandering around to find a phenomenon, why so many Chinese open snacks here, I didn't see any special Cambodian food, anyway, I didn't see anything delicious, casually entered a Shaxian snack, my brothers and I ordered a fried rice to eat, while eating, we both and the owner of the shop roughly understood, the boss said, in this border town, the economic lifeline of the entire city is driven by gambling, the streets and alleys, you look around, are large and small casinos, Most of the people who play this here are Vietnamese and Chinese, and most of the people who open casinos are Chinese, so the various stores seen here basically have Chinese characters on them.

As soon as I listened, the interest came, I felt that I should find something to do here, after eating, Adong and I went to the street to stroll, to see the situation here, really, nothing else, basically a casino and supporting hotels, the rest is a snack bar, we found a stay, good accommodation, into the house, put the luggage, I chatted with Adong, I told him, I plan to stay here to see, see if you can do something, just don't go, or brother, you will continue your trip first, Don't accompany me, because he plans to walk around the world, and he doesn't plan where to stay or do anything, so I don't want to delay his trip.

Ah Dong looked at me and looked actually quite helpless, he took a deep breath of cigarette, and said, let's do it this way, let's mix together first, anyway, I also quit my job, so I plan to play around the world, and then return to China to continue looking for a job when I run out of money, since, our brothers are so fateful, I don't think it's interesting to go by myself, I'll mix with you, I can't go on, I'll go back to China or continue my trip, okay?

As soon as I heard it, my buddy was determined to mess with me, and it was good to have someone to take care of outside, so we made up our minds.

Go to bed early tonight, have a good rest, and tomorrow the two of us will go to the casino to find work, and just like that, the first night in Cambodia has passed quietly.
