Day 77 - 80: Kay El

Well, technically it is Day 79 now but I don't think a lot is going to happen anymore worthwhile of spamming in these last 7 hours...

What can I say... It is a big city, so even more malls than in Kuching, Miri, KK,...
Four days here is really too much but knew that when deciding not to do anything else any more

What I should have done differently:
- Go to Battambang first, then Siem Reap... guess it is better to get acclimatised to certain Local-Tourist interactions in a smaller and more relaxed city (especially when travelling alone)
- Book flights much more in advance... Especially for Malaysia: Although you can get away with booking only 2-3 days in advance in the Philippines, no such thing for Air Asia...Twice (Miri -> Kuching and Kuching -> Singapore) Malaysian airways was cheaper than the other which is only cheaper (but significantly) if you book 1-2 weeks ahead - Quite sure Chinese New Year also had an impact
- Bring some kind of mobile device... Free wifi everywhere but almost no free lobby computers...and there aren't that many internet cafĂ©'s any more.

So it's time to think about the next trip:
- "Pick up the pieces": North Peninsular Malaysia, South Thailand, South Cambodia and South Vietnam or
- "Beans and burrito's": Mexico, Guatemala and Nicaragua
Likely it is going to be the latter one

That is, if there is again time and money

Jumpa Lagi
