We spent 1st night in Phnom Penh lazing away in Riverside Bistro, which is smacked right at the heart of Phnom Penh riverfront. The Cambodians spend their whole night along the road dancing and strolling along the riverfront.
It's quite a long stretch of road. This is the line dance group. Down the road there's the breakdancers, and further down is the hip hops'.
We randomly picked one of the cafes to laze away our 1st night in Phnom Penh.
Everything in Cambodia is in USD (food, clothing, accommodation, tuk tuks etc). This bistro's food is quite pricey. Each piece of cake is ~$3.50-$5.50. You would expect the country to serve like $1 cake right haha.
The bistro's packed with tourists for the night. Beer is very cheap during happy hours though. It's more worth it to drink beer compared to a Jasmine tea(bag).
We sat there from 7pm till...9.30 10pm? We have NOTHING to do. Phnom Penh has nothing to offer at night. But it was fun not doing anything wasting life away.
Just how crowded the street is.
The tour guide told us earlier in the day that the rate from this riverfront to our hotel is $4 for 4 of us. But we discussed and decided to first offer the tuk tuk $3 for 4 of us, expecting the driver to say no no no $4 or even higher coz we're...tourists then only we'll bargain & settle at $4 (the usual procedure - first offer lower than bargain till the expected price). We stopped 1 tuk tuk and gave the driver our hotel address.
He looked at it and said OK $3. We're all dumbfounded and did not know how to respond for like 10 secs or so wtf. Coz we're all thinking whether we should say $2 WTF. In the end we paid him $3 coz even my mum who's super frugal said $2 is too little for 4 of us and she just couldn't bring herself to say $2 to the driver HAHA wtf
Even until today I still laugh at that 10 secs of complete silence moment.
