When I planned this trip, I included a visit to Pol Pot’s grave. It is in the northern part of Cambodia, near the Thai border. I did not tell anyone because I wanted to do something that would probably get me into trouble. However, plans changed and instead of adding four days to the journey, I am going to skip Pol Pot’s grave.
Since I won’t be going to his grave, I might as well tell you what I was going to do. I was going to spit on it.
Today I stopped at a random drinks stall. The lady customers wore head coverings so I guessed that they were Muslims. I ask for a big cold drink but the lady of the stall did not understand me. A man asked if I could speak bahasa Melayu. Of course, I could, and he helped me order my drink. Then we had a short conversation in Bahasa. It seems he had studied in Kelantan when he was a student.
He said that that particular area had lots of Muslims. It looked like a farming community.
I did not order my usual iced coffee because last night, I woke up at one in the morning and could not get back to sleep until five. By the time I woke up, it was already 7:30 a.m. I quickly packed up my bags and left the hotel at nine. Luckily, I got to my destination before sunset.
