We stopped by the road. A woman sells grilled rats. She catches up to 200 of them in the rice field per day. It's actually a good thing. What else can you do with the pests that damage the rice plants?

During our tour, we met two girls. We went out for dinner with them in the evening. We had a great day. Unfortunately, we couldn't book the transfer to Siem Reap for the next day online anymore. And now what? It worked out at the hostel after all. The same company suddenly had many seats available. Strange.
