Chapter 125
The last day of the Cambodian New Year holiday came like this. It was neither fast nor slow. It was a rare feeling...
Every trip in the past was in a hurry, going in a hurry and returning in a hurry. The next day, I had to switch to work mode immediately, which was very tired.
I never thought that the trip that God arranged for me would take care of my mood. Although I went there in a hurry, after returning to the dormitory, I could still take two days to go to work. This is really a pleasure!
Thinking about my colleagues who traveled to Thailand, they had to take a bus from Thailand back to Cambodia early that morning and had to take a day. This felt uncomfortable enough. What's more, they had to go to work the next day. The buffering time was only one night. You should know that for a few days, they had to wash their clothes...
The night after I returned to the dormitory, I washed my clothes for those days and put them into tidying up the things I should have. It took me a few hours to wash my clothes for those days. I was so tired...
So, thank you God for arranging a trip that prevents me from rushing from beginning to end.
That trip was an exception. Because after the group trip to Angkor Wat, my eyes were wet. After the trip, I didn’t feel anything at all, and it ended. It seemed that I went to a restaurant for a meal and left after eating. There was no unnecessary feeling, and there was no reluctance. This is also rare.
So, is that trip worth the money I gave me?
If you look at the scenery alone, because Bali was rainy and cloudy at that time, the scenery was not beautiful enough, and it was not as good as the many beautiful sea views I have seen. Then, this is not worth the money I gave me.
But if you look at it from the perspective of physical and mental growth, it will be different again.
In Bali, I first experienced diving with an oxygen cylinder and flying into the sky with a umbrella. These are things I never thought about before. Because I can’t swim, I never thought I would go to dive. In my mind, I felt that diving requires swimming, and I can’t swim. Because I was afraid of heights, I never thought I would fly into the sky with a umbrella. Even when I looked down from a tall building, my feet would shake twice. But I went to experience it, breaking my psychological fear.
Also, when I first saw the sea, I started to learn swimming. Although I learned slowly, as long as I got off the sea, I would learn to swim and try to break through.
After a few times, I found the feeling of swimming in the Bali swimming pool. Although I was not yet skilled, I have made great progress.
Also, during the trip to Bali, I took a total of four flights back and forth. It was also an experience. Because before that, I only took a plane once, and I took a plane from Guangzhou to Phnom Penh. I took a trip four times at that time, and I felt much more profound!
And there is also, during that trip, I rarely used the camera and learned to try to shoot in the aperture mode and shutter mode, which felt pretty good. This laid the foundation for me to take photos with the camera in the future travel.
And there is more, and on that trip, I felt the comfort of massage for the first time! It gave me a new view of the industry...
So, if you look at it from the perspective of physical and mental growth, that trip is worth the money I give! In fact, I don’t give a lot of money, it’s probably the price of an Apple Six…
It’s just that Apple Six can last a long time, but only a few days to travel...
My travel, my heart is my travel.
Time continues to go.
You can often feel the gains and losses. If you talk too much, it is a big truth. But I like to talk about it.
Because I chose a big trip, I missed the atmosphere I could feel during the Cambodian New Year. I don’t know how local people celebrate the New Year.
However, although gains and losses are somewhat unbalanced, it does not mean that all gains and losses are all gains and losses. Because if the balance of gains and losses is to be kept unbreakable, at least there must be factors on both sides.
Therefore, there will be no gain or loss.
Therefore, although I can't fully feel the atmosphere of Cambodian New Year, I can also 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 I did not wear a checkered shirt, but a black vest.
When I first rode out of the road, I felt quite quiet. After all, during the Chinese New Year, many people have returned to the countryside. When riding a bike, I don’t need to be so cautious, and I don’t have to be afraid that a child will suddenly come to the middle of the road.
Continue to ride, ride halfway, and start to detour.
So, I was lucky enough to see their way of celebrating the New Year - sprinkling water and sprinkling talcum powder.
Moreover, their way of celebrating is very domineering! How can they be domineering?
Well, a group of people blocked the road directly! It was completely domineering!
If you want to pass by, don’t buy money, just pour water and powder on us...
All the Cambodians who were riding motorcycles in front of us had to stop the car and let them sprinkle water and powder. Only when they were satisfied could they pass.
In fact, this is the consensus of the locals. Even if strange Cambodians pass by them, they will sprinkle water and sprinkle powder, and those who are sprinkled with water and sprinkle powder cannot be angry. This is a way for them to celebrate the New Year and the atmosphere.
Behind me, I was a little stunned and began to wonder whether to pass by this place?
As I thought about it, I was already in front of them...
However, they did not splash water or powder at me. I was a little strange. Think about it, oh, it turns out that they think I am Chinese and dare not splash water or powder at me. After all, I don’t wear checkered shirts because I look like Cambodians when I wear checkered shirts. Fortunately, I only wore a vest. My skin color on my shoulders is still quite white, hahaha... I just finished thinking about it, but I didn’t know who splashed water on my back. I think the psychological activities of the person who splashed my water is like this: I will splash you, see what you do!
Huh, if you splash, you splash...
After that, several sections of the road were blocked by a group of people, splashing water and powder. Some girls originally planned to apply my powder, but when they saw that I looked like a Chinese, they didn't dare to mess with me anymore.
Fortunately, if someone dares to apply my powder, then the people in the future will definitely think that I can be applied to me. If that happens, hehe, you can definitely be as embarrassed as you are…
Fortunately, my lucky feeling made me wear a vest and go out.
But think about it, if you really want to experience that atmosphere yourself, you should be splashed with water and powdered by them. Because only in this way can you feel that you are integrated into them.
Oh, why do they splash water? Because they celebrate the Water Song Festival like in Yunnan. Thailand should be the same. The Water Song Festival is also the New Year in Cambodia.
There seems to be a chance on the last night of the holiday. Should they splash water and powder?
Haha, once you try this thing, it will definitely be unforgettable for life! (To be continued)
