Alena & Anton's food and travel adventures
Autobusy v jihovychodni Asii se daji popsat mnoha slovy, ale 'nuda' rozhodne neni jedno z nich. Sotva jsme doresili zmatky ohledne prerezervovanych sedadel (nastesti jsme se nakonec vsichni vlezli), pan ridic pustil televizi a hlasitost vytocil na max, asi aby to nahodou nekomu neuniklo. Filmy sice byly v khmerstine, ale to nevadilo, protoze na dialog … Continue reading Battambang
Bus travel in Southeast Asia never fails to entertain. After sorting out some confusion with double booked seats (luckily there were spares) we were presented with a series of crazy kungfu videos playing on full volume. The movies were in Khmer but they were not dialogue heavy anyway, one looked like a blend of a … Continue reading Battambang
Jako mala jsem v televizi videla dokument o chramech Angkoru. Uchvacene jsem sledovala obrazovku a predstavovala si, jak se prodiram dzungli k polorozpadlym budovam, oblecena v khaki kalhotach a kosili jak objevitele z predminuleho stoleti, o kterych jsem citavala v dobrodruznych pribezich. O 20 let pozdeji se mi muj sen splnil, ale odev a la … Continue reading Chramy Angkoru
I first heard about the temples of Angkor when I was watching TV as a child (I was a weird kid who liked documentaries). They looked so mystical, I imagined walking through them like one of the adventurers with a hat and a khaki shirt I read about in books. Fast forward 20 years, my … Continue reading The temples of Angkor
Siem Reap neni haveti zamorene mesto, jak by se z nazvu clanku mohlo zdat, jen nabizi ponekud netradicni atrakce, kam navstevnici mohou zavitat, kdyz zrovna neprozkoumavaji chramy Angkoru. Jedna z nich je napriklad APOPO centrum. Vedeli jste, ze krysy maji neuveritelne vyvinuty cich? Je natolik citlivy, ze tato (pri blizsim pohledu prekvapive roztomila) zviratka zacali … Continue reading Krysy a hmyz v Siem Rem
Siem Reap is not a vermin infested city as the title might suggest, though there are some rather quirky attractions you can visit in-between exploring the temples of Angkor, such as the APOPO Visitor Centre. Did you know that rats have a highly developed sense of smell? It's actually so good people have started using … Continue reading Rats and bugs in Siem Reap
Aplikace PassApp je naprosto k nezaplaceni! Funguje podobne jako Uber v tom, ze si objednate odvoz online za predem urcenou cenu, akorat se plati hotove na ruku. Zadne dohadovani s ridici tuk tuku, kteri jsou nechvalne znami chamtivosti a snahou si na turistech privydelat. Porad je ale spousta lidi, kteri se o teto aplikaci jeste … Continue reading Phnom Penh
PassApp is a godsend! It works similar to Uber, you order your ride online, the price is set and then you pay in cash directly to the driver. Gone are the days of haggling with tuk tuk drivers trying to overcharge you or give you false information. Not everyone is aware of the app yet … Continue reading Phnom Penh
"Delfini v rece? Coze? Kde? To chci videt." Takhle nejak vzniklo rozhodnuti se pri ceste z jizniho Laosu do Kambodzi na par dni zastavit v Kratie. Koupili jsme listek u firmy Che Nang Transtort (to neni preklep, tedy alespon ne muj) a rozloucili se s nasim ostrovem. Po kratke plavbe lodkou jsme naskakali do minibusu … Continue reading Kratie a orcela tuponosa
"Dolphins in the river? Whaaat? Where? How can I see them?" This is how we ended up spending a few days in the town of Kratie on the way from southern Laos to central Cambodia. We bought a ticket with Che Nang Transtortation Company (that's not a typo, at least not on my part) and … Continue reading River dolphins in Kratie
