I wanted to wake up early, to walk around the town before it gets too hot. But I had such great sleep last night that I put off waking up until past 8am. It wasn’t until 9:30 that I was able to leave Vilay Guesthouse. I walk down the road towards the Mekong, and walked parallel the main road, heading towards the town center.
It was another early morning, since I have to ride the airport bus going to Suvarnabhumi at 7am. Instead of having to go to the travel agency’s office, the agent told me that the bus will pick me up from my hostel. At that note, I knew it was a mini-bus, rather than the actual airport bus. I was right, and I ended up squished between two other travelers, one still with the lingering smell of booze from the night before.
Nina, going through quarterlife crisis, decided to stop talking about traveling and actually start traveling. Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
