One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had one crazy night with friends in Cambodia. We were travelling on this bus in the middle of the night and there was a road accident, so the road was blocked. The driver of the bus decided he go back to his home village. He effectively abandoned us in the middle of nowhere in rural Cambodia in the night .On top of that, we hadn’t eaten all day and it was very cold. We had to bribe this small truck driver to allow us to sit up on the roof of his truck. We bought few beers as well and we were singing Scott McKenzie’s songs. Travelling this way through Cambodia with close friends, it was one of life’s precious perfect moments.
