Transformers 3- 3D and Carnival







The other day we were eating at a restaurant and the TV was an. A commercial came on that showed Transformers 3 and said they had a movie cinema place called Legends Cinema at City Mall. I looked it up and low and behold they have a real copy of Transformers 3 and in 3D. Spencer and I were so excited. Last Friday we went on a date to go and see it. I got popcorn and it was divine. I have missed popcorn so much, and we got free drinks for getting our tickets. I wish it was like that in US. Anyways of course I had to go to the bathroom half way through, so I asked Spencer for a ticket in case they asked. He fumbled through his pockets and finally found one(This has a point in the story I will tell it later). Then right near the end of it when Sam saves his over the top gorgeous girlfriend, the power goes out. It was extremely sad and we should of thought of that, but I think it took about 10 minutes of it to come back on. Only in Cambodia would that happen because it goes out all the time.

I have to say it was better than the second, but the first is still the winner. So after the show we go back to our apartment, Spencer realizes he lost his keys at the theater when he was getting the ticket our for me. Good thing we asked for an extra set and I grabbed mine right before we left. It was already 12 am and the mall was closed. We just decided to wait for the next day to go back and when we did, IT WAS THERE!! We were both shocked and surprised on one had taken them. YAY!!!

Saturday night we went to the Carnival, well it really wasn't much and only had a Ferris wheel, and a boat that goes back and forth. I didn't ride the boat cause I get super sick and by the time we were ready to ride the Ferris wheel, it was closed (even though the park still had 30 minutes til close). I just don't understand why everywhere we go, they say it closes at 9 or 10 and everyone closes 30 min and an hour before that. IT was still fun. We decided to go through the shrub bush maze, and we got lost many times but found some hearts and a dinosaurs head to take pictures. I had fun, and I got some ice cream to make it even worth it. The only game they had to play was darts to pop a balloon. They had about 8 different booths of the same exact thing. I think someone needs to teach them different games so they can actually get some business.

I really don't understand why they do that because anywhere you go whether it be a pharmacy, a restaurant, a shoe/clothing store, a machine part store they have a whole block of the same exact store that sells the same exact things. How do they ever get business?

Five Guys and Hawaiian Ice of Cambodia





Spencer and I have found this amazing snow cone place that is so scrumptious and I don't know what I would do without it. I loved going to get one last summer after a long hot day of work at the Provo Temple grounds. It was so refreshing and yummy and I was sooooo sad that I wasn't going to be able to do that. Well turns out there is a place right on the corner from where we live. I LOVE IT! The lady there is actually the wife of one of our tuk tuk drivers that we usually use and they are both super nice. One day I saw a little girl getting a shave ice and I said, that is it I am going to get one too. They put some gummy type things in the bottom, you choose which ones you want or dried fruit, shaved ice, then sugar palm syrup(probably the best part), then some more shaved ice, put cherry and some other green syrup on top with a milky type syrup last. Yes it is very very sweet, but soooooooo GOOD!! I am so excited that we found this place, cause now I probably will go at least once a week.

Yesturday for FHE, we decided to go out to eat before we had our lesson to a place called Mike's Burger House. All the senior couples told us that it is like the IN-N-OUT of Cambodia! Well personally strongly disagree that In-N-Out is the best place, because it isn't. Five Guys is way better bigger burgers, more fries and have delicious seasoning and you get stuffed to the brim. Anyways, we went there and I got the classic American Bacon Cheese Burger with fries and a ROOT BEER FLOAT!! Spencer and I were extremely happy about the ROOT BEER FLOATS and I think I peed my pants a little it was like a dream come true. OF course Spencer got the Chili Double Cheese Burger with fries and ROOT BEER FLOAT!! They even use A&W root beer. It was delicious and way better than IN-N-OUT will ever be. The Cambodian who opened it up is from California, which I am sure he got the idea from In-n-out. It is finally a home away from home for me. A place that actually fills my American food delight craving. I can't wait to go back and I hope that we will soon. I was super stuffed though and I totally forgot how fating American food really is. I am actually glad that I haven't had to eaten that all summer, and I think I will be better about not eating so much fast food when we go home because it just makes you feel sick after you eat. You don't feel good about yourself like you do when you eat Asian food. It's kinda crazy how that happens, but it does. (I took the pictures after I started eating it and doesn't look as happy or appealing as it really is, but I promise you that it was the most delicious burger I have had in a really long time!!)

YAY for Mike's Burger House!!!
