Every bus ride so far in Cambodia has been eventful.

The first one from the Mekong Delta to Phnom Penh was quite short, only an hour. But since all of us 16 travellers have spent 10 hours in a boat together, there was a lot of chitchatting going on.

The second ride was from Phnom Penh to Battambang, about 5.5 hours. WITHOUT A/C because it broke down. Of course, no refund or compensation whatsoever. And we only figured it out because an American couple who are originally from Cambodia told us so. And oh, because we were sweating like pigs.

The third ride from Battambang to Siem Reap happened to be overbooked. Not that it's my problem (since we had reserved seats) but they brought some plastic chairs and put them in the middle of the aisle for the folks without seats.

In Southeast Asia, children under the age of 8 years old usually don't need to pay any fare. 

But they also happen to not have any assigned seats. 

Hence, they can have the free seats left, but need to sit on their mama or papa's lap when the bus is full.

So there's this big (fat) white man sitting right next to a mama with 2 kids.

After 10 min, she couldn't take it anymore and asked to switch place with someone since the white guy was taking too much space. (plus, she needed some room for her kids)

Obviously, he was pissed off and made sure we all knew about it.

Slightly hilarious.
