Tiffony and I had both previously mentioned to Danielle that we would love to go and explore the market. So Danielle came up with the idea of a scavenger hunt in the market. Today she sent Tiffony and I off into the market with a list of things we had to find. We would meet her at a near by coffee shop when we were done. The catch was that she didn't tell us where it was, only that it was within walking distance of the market. Thankfully we spotted it from the tuk tuk on the way there.

Surprisingly, we were able to find everything rather quickly, even if we did spend 30 minutes looking at jewelry. Tiffony and I both wanted watches and ended up with ones that have the same face and charm, but different bands. Danielle called them our friendship watches.

We ended up walking around the market about three times, but it was good because now we are pretty confident of finding our way through the maze of stalls. It does seem that there are hidden booths that you only seem to be able to find once. It is one of my favorite places that I've been to so far. You can find just about anything there. It even has a food court!

Once we were finished, we met Danielle at a coffee shop called Jars of Clay for lunch. The food was good, but best of all, it was air conditioned! You don't appreciate what you have until you don't have it anymore. Until last night, I haven't minded not having AC in my room because I have a fan. Yesterday, for some reason my room was boiling. I woke up covered in sweat. Gross, I know, but this is Cambodia.

I love exploring foreign markets. I'm glad you got to go.
ReplyDeleteJars of Clay sounds like a place to return to!
