Than the guy finally turned up... He said we can join... yay! The drive was long... 1,5 hours. We all fell asleep for a while. The floating market was unique! All those little stands along the creek, mostly selling souvenirs.
These two made me try so much Street Food, I think without them I wouldn't have been brave. A tripadvisor said: If you don't get sick you don't get the spirit, right? It was a very warm day and for CHF 4.50 we sat in one of those boats and floated through the market for about an hour. We were laughing so hard because we had 'traffic jam'. Honestly, there were so many boats on this creek. We tried streetfood like rice, coconut icecream with corn & some meatstuff. It was good and we didn't get sick. I feel well today! When we had time to walk around we saw a guy holding a snake and he was like 'Hey do you want abohoto?' and kissed his snake. I bursted out laughing and walked a big bow around him.
In the afternoon we decided to try some more streetfood in the city center, after almost 3h cardrive (traffic jam...). We had sausages, prawns on a stick, tofu and more. In a shopping center we had Pad Thai with tiny prawns from which you could still their eyes... Ewwww. Jowelle sadly had to leave at some point because she had to catch her flight back home to Macau. Me and Carl decided to drink a coffee and eat some more and we had soooo coool conversations about god and the world, too. It's amazing how many smart, unique, confident and nice people I meet. I always make so many friends, the best part about travelling!
By the way!!! Asians (but local Asians...) take selfies. a lot. Hahahahaha... It happened to me a few times that I walked in in a quiet shop and the shop assistance ignored me and kept on taking hilarious selfies...
