Finally back home with real electricity and much better water/bathroom system. lol. I ended up staying at relative's village (took about 3 days to get used to the household lifestyle). They had some motor operated electricity, and their water system was basically out of a well.
Brief summary: Rode on a motorbike traveling through the countryside for most of the time.
Saw a lot of ox and their poop on road everywhere.
Celebrated some sort of national water festival and boat racing.
Toured the Royale Palace.
Climbed up a Buddhist temple up in the mountains nearly had heartattack from walking up the f-in' steps.
Nearly got into a fight with a monkey as well, it ran up to us and stole our bag of cookies instead.
It was actually really awesome having no TVs or internet access for a change, and probably the reason why I only visited Phnom Penh(capital city) twice because it was a bit too modern/industrial.
So it turned out to be my very own Into The Wild experience if I say so myself. The only bad thing was the damn long-ass flights into/from, and I got a major headache right now- guessing it's the jetlagging.
