Day 4: Food heaven

Most of this day was spend shopping, bargaining and eating. Now that's life. HAHAHAHA! We spent most of our time shopping in the Old Market.


Saw this cart filled with coal. A lot of Cambodian folks still use coal as burring fuel.

We walked a few rounds to do our surveys. We actually wrote down a list of things to get in the Old Market to make sure our targets and shopping goals were met. LOL!

My first stop was the jewelry and gem section. I think me and LF spent most of our time here looking at jewelry and bargaining. I sucked at bargaining and didn't get a good price for my jewelries. Try to bargain at a ridicules low price, especially if you are the first customer as they have this thing called "Morning customer". They usually will want you to buy from them if you are their first customer. It's a luck thing. But sometimes they can bullshit you. You might not be their Morning customer.

The first stall I bought from didn't really give me a good price. She wasn't being honest too. If I'm there again, I will not be back at her shop #448 again. I regretted paying them so much when I got a better price after that from the girls below.


I got to know later from my mom that she bought most of her cheap jewelry from them. Their stalls are located at the entrance of the jewelry section of the Old Market from the door facing the road.

The girl that mans the stall on the right is Salinda (the girl standing on the left), I bought my mom's ring from Julie aka Sok Navy, the other girl on the right, manning the stall on the left of the entrance (Shop #418).


From all the bargaining, the mouth can get a bit fry, so this green stuff really quench my thirst. This green bean pandan juice looks disgusting at first but I think I was like "Don't care la, have to try" So I just downed the drink without thinking further. DAMNNNNN NICEEEE!

The rest of the day was really just shopping and eating. More food review at Eat First Think Later.

We left Old Market with heavy backpacks and hand full of heavy plastic bags of goods and food.

We went to a massage parlor near the old market and pub street area after that. We paid for an 2 hour massage but actually really only got 1 hour and 15 minute worth of massage. Me and LF didn’t really enjoy the massage too. My whole body ended up oily and the twisting of my body action really scares me.


We took a walk around bar street at decide on dinner but ended up at the road side stalls to have a more original taste of food.
