Giant crickets that attack.

A couple nights ago, I believe the 20th, I think for some reason bugs, insects, geckos, lizards, ect were just attracted to me. I have never had so many bugs fly into my face, back, shoulder, leg, everywhere. That was the day that I finally got my first and only bug bite. Most likely a mosquito, but what a shame. I was very distraught for awhile. But, it began with dinner at a very good Indian resturaunt, yes an Indian resturaunt, I went to another one the night before and had Chana Masala. The chickpeas in the Chana Masala were not cooked, but I was crazing Chana Masala that I made the best out of it and ate it. But, this resturaunt was super good, we had a lot of chicken, vegetarian and fish type dishes. Super good, but before the food came, a bug that resembled a cockroach flew on my nose. I, of course, freak out and then it lands on my shirt and I got it to get off and it landed next to the person on my left. Then we all had a major fun time of, "Where did it go?" and then at the same time I was saying, " It was on my nose! AHHHHH!!!!". Such a lovely time at dinner after the whole cockroach looking thing fiasco. After dinner, we decided to hit up the night market in Phnom Penh. I was very excited to see this night market. I did not know what to expect. When we got there, there were so many people. A lot of aromaic smells mixed into the air along with some unpleasant smells, but luckily the aromatic smells over powered the unpleasant ones. The night market was quite busy with a section that was all different types of food ranging from any meat on a stick to fresh squeezed sugar cane juice. That was fun to watch as they put whole sugar cane and crush the juice right out into a cup. So extreme. The cafeteria/eating area was pretty awesome, in the sense that it was a bunch of straw mats on the floor. It reminded me of home because we have one of those straw mats at home. Than there was the other half of the market that was all clothing, merchandise, you name it whatever, there was a stand full of stuff animals, to a stand that just had one brand of shampoo. There was also a talent show stage in the middle with people singing Khmer songs in front of the crowds. The crowds went wild for this! It was super entertaining to watch live singing. Well, we began walking and my eyes wandered and looked around all the exciting things that were being sold. All of a sudden something hit my face, and then went on my back and down my shirt. Naturally, I finched and made a scene. I shouted to Rothany, "What is on my back?". She responded back with a jump back and, "Ahhhhhh, a bug". Then, I was like get that off me, please someone. Finally, it came off me and I was like oh why me? I made a spectacle out of myself and could hear murmurs of people speaking in khmer about the cricket on my back. BAHHHH!!!!!! Embarrassing. Well, the night went interesting. As we walked around and stopped at several stalls, I swear I was that bug attractor. I kept walking and bugs were flying into me and tiny tiny bugs flew near my mouth and I am pretty one almost got in, but like a fruit fly type thing. Ahhh. Not my night. But, the night market was very lively with a lot of teenagers. It seemed like a spot for young people to go to and take their friends and hang out or their significant other for a night out. Super chill, super cool. Well, we decided to walk home as well, it was a nice 30 minute walk back to the guesthouse. The weather was super nice and honestly, it was the first long walk in Phnom Penh that I have had. I miss walking. It is difficult to walk in the Phnom Penh because of the traffic and the lact of sidewalks and crosswalks. But, this walk was nice and breezy. The scenery was very nice. I wished that it wouldn't have been cloudy, but at least it wasn't raining. We finally got home and this crazy bug day was over. Please no more bugs.
