So I just got to Mondulkiri, a province in Northeastern Cambodia. I'm in the main city of Sen Monorom, not too far from the Vietnamese border and completely different than the Cambodian flood plain that I know.
First impressions? Laid back hilly countryside. My initial experience here pretty much sums up the place;
I wanted a scooter to go around town or visit the waterfalls so i asked my guest house manager and he said "take mine, can you drive manual?" I said yes which is a lie and he knew it, but that didn't matter. No forms and no lessons, he just gave me the key and i drove off... turns out I'm a natural ;) Down the road I realize that I forgot to get a drink before I left and I was pretty thirsty considering it's midday so I stopped for a beer. I didn't even have to turn off the engine or get off my scooter, just pulled up to a lady on the side of the dirt road and said "som bier muy" no hesitation that I am driving... just like that and 60 cents later I have a roadie for my nature tour. I get to my destination and accidendentally let out a huge belch after finishing my beer, forgetting that I am surrounded by other tourists. Luckily they are all Cambodian tourists and don't consider burping in public rude so nobody even noticed. Perfect... I like it here!
Oh yeah and there were lots of waterfalls which were nice too... too many to visit actually, here's a few pics.
