RE: 🥾 Trekking "God's Back Mountain" | Part 1 ⛰️ Phnom Samkos Wildlife Sanctuary, Cardamom Mountains National Park, Cambodia 🎒
Other than the chopped wood, it's still lush greens everywhere. I already can hear monkey B howling in the forest!
My first forest tracking was more than 30 years ago, but the memory still super fresh. Happily go there with 2 senior and 1 junior, sausage fest. Had a picnic by the stream, the moment I opened the can of tuna, the force was too strong, the whole can fall into the river. I'm the attempt to save the can, pulled the whole loaf into the water at the same time. No cell phone era, would mean a troubled fuel gauge led us to track extra 20 miles to bottle some fuel for the van we drove in 🤣 upon arrival at the gas station, figured there's something slimmy in my shoe, upon investigation, found a few giant leeches between my toes, and a few more behind my calf. No one knows how to get rid of them, so I peel them off by force, result in a blood pool in my hiking shoe. And reached home to found out I lost my wallet at the gas station whilst trying to get rid of the leeches 🤣
I've never found a leech on myself here in Cambodia, but I have seen hikers descending from the mountain covered in them. Adventures before cell phones were the real deal, kids of today will never understand what it means to walk back to civilization in search of a pay phone, and then reaching the pay phone to dial a number that you have stored in your brain SIM 😁😉.
Old age client: what's your number Dave?
Dave: Errmmm... Lemme check
Client: WTF Dave? Your can't even remember your own number?
Dave: I can remember your number is xxx-xxx-xxxx, but I can't remember mine.
Client: If you wanna be successful as I am, you really need to put more effort in remembering them buddy.
Dave: Boss, I don't call myself, but I call you more often. That's why I can remember your number and can't remember mine. I will try to remember my number when I am as successful as you. For now, I choose to send my number instead of tell.
