One Day Four Countries
Breakfast di Cambodia, Tea Time in Vietnam, Lunch in Singapore and Dinner in Jakarta: One Day Four Countries.
Very early morning in 2002, an office duty should be accomplished. Wake up in the country of nowhere, just like Indonesia in early 1960, I was in Pnom Penh, capitol city of Cambodia for a meeting the day before. A Toyota Camry is our taxi waiting for me to bring me across the border of Cambodia to Vietnam. four hours drive with a traditional farming landscape of Cambodian simple houses gave me sense of dejavu of Indonesia in 1960.
Moc Bai is the border town of Vietnam and Cambodia was just arrived then, an inspection by the military officers seemed run smooth and we were ready to catch the flight in Ho Chi Minh at 13 am.
Another 3 hour drive by a Vietnam taxi using kind of Toyota Kijang car. The driver was a lady but did not seem a lady since she had a big body and voice. The taxi took us to Central Hotel where we stayed during in Vietnam to check out. At 11:30 we a rrived at Ho Chi Mind, rushed to check out and got the taxi to airport.
We arrived in Ho Chi Minh airport at 12 noon, check in and ready to fly to Singapore, then Jakarta. A four hour flight we had from Ho Chi Minh to Singapore and another 1,5 hours from Singapore to Jakarta.
We just stopped over in Singapore for 3 hours and ready to fly again to Jakarta. Evening we reached Jakarta.
So, in one day, I got breakfast in Cambodia, tea time in Vietnam, late lunch in Singapore and dinner in Jakarta. What a wonderful journey? How about you?
