I Missed Yakiniku But Got Nabe


I wanted to come back to the GH before 7 that day, because I had a promise with Yuta going to eat yakiniku with a few Koreans he met. But when I got there, I didn't see him. His driver handed me a map drawn on a piece of paper and told me Yuta was there, so I asked Neg to take me to the place. However, I couldn't find him in the restaurant on the map. The master told me I could wait there, but I went out because I wanted to tell Neg if he was still there. It sucked not having an available cellphone in such a case. He didn't seem a person that breaks promises but I didn't have the way to get information. Luckily, Neg was still there. I told him that I couldn't find Yuta and he helped me find him driving around the city. But after a while, I gave up and told him to go somewhere else to have dinner by ourselves. And that made me get a chance to eat Cambodian NABE, lol. Damn, I didn't bring my camera at that time, but took some pictures with my mobile.

At the restaurant, dishes were on counters over there, and we had to bring anything we wanted to eat. And I was like a princess there. I mean, he did almost everything. I brought some dishes to our table, but that was it. I didn't know what to do with the unique shaped Cambodian pot on the table, so I left everything to Neg. What I had to do was just to eat what Neg made :P

When I was choosing what to eat firstly at the restaurant, I saw FRESH SPRING ROLLS...You have no idea how much I LOVE IT!!! So, I brought two of them for me and Neg, but he brought his own one by himself later, so I ate both of them. I was a little bit worried when I was about to eat them because I heard Cambodian tap water is not so good for us as long as we are not local people. So we should refrain from eating ice (it might be made from tap water) or uncooked vegetables in general. However, I already hadn't removed ice from my water at that time, and wanted to eat the fresh spring roll so badly (I wasn't sure if the spring rolls were 100% safe). So I thought, "Um, maybe my umeboshi will save me, so I'll be fine!" and ate anything I wanted to eat. While we were eating, Yuta called Neg's cellphone and apologized. He told us when they went to the restaurant, it was closed because of a temporary power cut. So they waited somewhere and went again around 8 or so. What an unlucky thing we missed each other, lol. But such a happening is commonly associated with a trip ;)

When we finished eating, it was already past 9. I was very sleepy so we went back to the GH. When we got there, Yuta was already there, and apologized to us again. No problem, it was not his fault :) Oh, by the way, do you want to know what happened on me later beside eating anything I wanted??? Nah, I didn't get loose bowels. Sorry that I couldn't fulfill your excitement :P
