As I pulled out of Russia

I want to tell my little story of how I escaped from Russia and more than 7-months, and did not return until the going)

It will be a compilation of pictures





Before you lay out a small report on his trip, I want a few words to tell you how I Rossiyanin (proudly sounds? =)) Was in Kampuchea.

My story, I think many will be familiar. I lived, like many schemes of work-home-work. Get up early in the morning on the robot, driving 1-2 hours to work in traffic, working from 9:00 to 18:00 and sometimes to 19:00 and return home was delayed for about an hour. As a result, in my possession were two weekends and 2-3 hours in the evening before going to bed on weekdays.

How so continued my life I do not know, but not less than 5-years, that's for sure. Madly I want to change something, but the level of salaries, rented apartment and then hanging loans did not leave me a chance. I know what drove himself in such a position. But he drove himself and get out) Maybe awareness of all this, and helped me to write to you today from Cambodia and have every day before 10-12 hours to spare. And all this is near the sea and the warmth of the sun).



Back in Russia ... I needed a different kind of income, because all my life spent on the work on the "uncle" I did not want, and start a business with draconian taxes feared and still fear, and with my business, I would have pegged to a place that did not suit me too. So, the only way - to seek trading online (via the Internet), because it is a major plus in the income - no matter where you are, if you have a laptop and the Internet, you can do business and make money)

Stay 3 variants
1. Make sites for selling links
2. Forex (trade + affiliate)
3. Game project (UPDATE already before leaving)

The first option has fallen off, I do not know, perhaps it's not mine. Second, I set myself as a priority (every day watching videos, reading instruction as well as that, tried to trade on a demo and the like, in general, those 2-3 hours per day, which I had, I left for food and learning = ). The third project, which is on my list appeared recently, but carries enough money to pay for food, accommodation and excursions)

A year later I was online getting enough to change something in their lives. I sold my car, paid with credit + the remaining money in the bank threw a% "just in case", and the rest took a trade in Forex. And the moment I became so long, has come. I could leave work, because had already more or less stable income online, I did not have credit, and I decided to leave the country and "see the world", live where I want and how I want to. Then began actively shustrenie forums on the subject of where to go =) It was very scary, but all is already solved =). He took his girlfriend and we went to Thailand.



In Thailand, we spent 3 months and wanted to see what else) Next we had the Vietnam 3 months, and now we are living for several months in Cambodia.

We lived 3 months in Phuket (Thailand), 3 months in Mui Ne (Vietnam) and now a month living in Sihanoukville (Cambodia).

If the theme is interesting, I can make a record, "1 day of my life» =)

Incidentally, the photos from the start (taken from Google) Russian businessman institution (often there are) called Sneykhaus (Snake House Sihanoukville), Russian general enough. I was pleasantly surprised by this))



Kampuchea - from Sihanoukville to Kampot and back.

I read in the forums about the journey between the two cities, they say roads are bad and all that stuff, and it is best to go to two days. But the best view - it is your own.

The day before we rented a scooter Honda AirBlade 135ss white rental price of $ 5 per day (here, by the way, many move on scooters. Thailand since the time we got used to them, but the first time we were wildly unusual)

To test drove to the supermarket Samudera, so beloved by Russian in Sihanoukville. Like the machine is ready for the trip.



Appointed time of departure in the early morning when the dawn is just beginning, but))
Laziness is the mother did not let us do that. We woke up as usual at 7:30, had breakfast with Thai yogurt and drinking coffee 3 in 1 at 9 am already gone in the direction of Kampot.
The road from Sihanoukville passes on the highway 3 and 4. The route 3 route from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville, the country has received, it is certainly not a highway, but quite decent. A track 4 is a partial repair sites.

Thus the movement of the track 3, we were just lucky that it was a Saturday and the mourning in the country, and the majority of state-owned companies did not work, so the track was not heavily loaded wagons, which are catching up with you and want to expel the road and even pour sand that very painful pricked.

In the photo the track 3, very smooth road, the way



On the road flew rapidly, the average speed was 60 kilometers per hour, we outperformed passenger cars, buses sometimes, and of course we are overtaken by all motorcyclists.

To the fork of 3 to 4 route flown in the same breath.
And on 4 track and know what Cambodian roads.
in some places the road was demolished, work was carried out, the road watered, and with the road and all road users. On gravel sections had to go slowly, because to overtake the car and strive to launch a stone in the forehead.

But it turned out that a bad site just at the beginning of the road, about 15 km on the way to fix it. We stopped to fill a couple of liters of gasoline with it (a bottle) cost of 1 liter 5,500 riels = 1 USD 40 cents per liter.

And here's a scooter from this slurry became more nimble, as though he has attached the wings, he began to accelerate as much as up to 80 km and is worthy to go to the hill.
at 11.10 already flew in Kampot.



I do not know what we expected to see there, but those who have written about the charm of this provincial town is probably not aware of what they write.

The city is situated on the river, away from the sea (15km). Hestia is located immediately after the bridge, the price we have decided not to learn, but hardly less $ 10-15 per night. We decided to find a place to wash and eat. We stopped at the cafe where they were local, looked at the menu. The prices of the dishes were a bit higher than for similar at our Victory Hills. I did order the chicken with pepper (bell), and my wife ordered shrimp with pineapple. The waiter immediately warned that without garlic. It took 20 minutes. Bring two dishes with garlic.

We returned them back and asked to do again, but without garlic.
My dish of fried chicken with pepper was not as big as in Sihanoukville, moreover, there was a feeling that I was in China, because only they have if you order chicken. You will bring with chopped bones.

HUB Zone Come, eat and overpaid for this mess realized that life in Kampot more expensive than in Sihanoukville. We decided not to stay and go to Phnom Bokor National Park.

In the photo the road along the seafront

Parking near the photo a Buddha Park Phnom Bokor



And here is the Buddha



There, by the way, here and Casino)



Many new buildings (probably even the casino). I do not know why they are attacking them, the big excitement I have not seen near the casino,



The building of the old Khmer Rouge casino shelled



Nature monuments atop



From Kampot back on the road to the entrance to the Phnom Bokor just 9 km away.
The entry fee is paid 2,000 riel (US $ 0.5). And here it is the way of the future.
This route is done according to the rules from the slopes and it rises to the top of the mountain. On top of the mountain for more than 30 years ago, the French began to build a city with casinos and brothels. But then, when the Khmer Rouge took over the country are all destroyed.

The road was flawlessly, very spacious, we climbed on the scooter at a speed of 40-60 km per hour. The first top is a statue of Buddha at the top of the drive on 17 km and we reach the new built casino pagoda. They arrived before the old casino, it does not look so destroyed, it will probably restore. Water tower looks like a flying saucer.
The road ends at the gates of the old ruined city. There are three ruined buildings. Inside them we did not dare to go, who knows a snake or something else.
We visited a waterfall that seems filled only during the rainy season.
15.00 and decided to go back.

Index showed to Sihanoukville 117 km.
At 17.30 we were at home.

Expensive very smooth, almost no holes



Summary. That's how we live, work during the week on the weekend traveling around the neighborhood.

Hopefully someone will like it. Sorry, there is little useful information, the next time I will try everything clearer and more to prepare, this is my first post =)

All you can kick.
