Once upon a time in Cambodia. 4 men and a woman set off on their way to Krong Strung Treng. A man in his mid-30s ๐Ÿ‘จ French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, an equally respected ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿฆฑ Swiss ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ, a man in his late 50s ๐Ÿ‘ด English ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ, and two sporty young men in their mid-20s ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿป German ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช.

With a small ๐ŸšŒ Nissan 10-seater and their experienced driver "Sam" ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ, they collectively covered about 300km of the 440km journey (towards Kratie) on challenging terrain under great weather conditions.

The journey was arduous and slow. Everyone would gladly have checked their eyelids for cracks. But the kind Sam could not, would not, and did not allow such a luxury. He was young and ambitious. He did not feel any of those urges and focused on his driving skills. Headset ๐ŸŽง on, comfortable 120ยฐ ๐Ÿ’บ positions. Left hand ๐Ÿคš on the handlebars and his beloved horn#๐ŸŽบ#. Right hand ๐Ÿคš on the 5-speed stick shift.

The ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ๐Ÿ‘ด, who sat in the passenger seat, wanted to take a nap first. It was an unmistakable signal to Sam. THE NEXT POTHOLES ARE OURS๐Ÿ˜ˆ

It wasn't hard to find them. The potholes seemed to crowd around the ๐ŸšŒ. The ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ ๐Ÿ‘ด was annoyed. Shock absorbers and Sam seemed to be an unbeatable ๐Ÿคฌ team.

Now the first German๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿป and his Swiss compatriot ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝslowly dozed off into the imitation leather seats. Sam was delighted ๐Ÿ˜. This way the journey won't be boring. His phone ๐Ÿ“ฑ turned to ๐ŸŽง ๐ŸŽถ Rammstein for Cambodians, and off they went. He tested it cautiously. #Honk ๐ŸŽบ# "Can I really not hear my horn ๐ŸŽบ?" And then he gave it to themโ˜๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ. It was a cheerful intermezzo. Classical music lovers ๐ŸŽถ could sense an opera from it. With abrupt left-right movements of the steering wheel, accompanied by the finest holey asphalt/gravel ๐Ÿง€, the heads started to wag to the beat of the #๐ŸŽบ#. Like little bobbleheads.

In the last row was the ๐Ÿ‘จ ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท. Eyes closed, ๐ŸŽง ๐ŸŽต head stretched towards the sky, he meditated his way through the situation. Everyone on board thought with envy, "how can he do that?". The French know how to keep their heads out of everything ๐Ÿคฃ. Sam didn't seem so happy.

Now came the last joker in Sam's ๐Ÿƒ game. The car and its defective speedometer needle. Here in Cambodia ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ, no one stops you. Sam knows every corner and he made us feel that, and his buttometer is impressive. Almost like that of my father-in-law๐Ÿ˜œ. Sam's passenger, who only knows left-hand traffic, no longer blinked from that moment on. It felt like 130km/h, with the mentioned road surface plus suicidal ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿˆ ๐Ÿ• ๐Ÿ‚ ๐Ÿ„ ๐Ÿƒ and like-minded ๐Ÿš™ ๐Ÿ ๐ŸšŽ ๐Ÿš›. Hey...that's clear...even a speedometer needle doesn't joke around and says goodbye!!! ๐Ÿคข

Sam understood his job. And at exactly 12:15 pm, he delivered the shaken up passengers at the rest area.

Everyone continued to Laos, with SAM๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜… Only the ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช & "SwissBaba" in their mid-60s, a Swiss dropout who came damn close to being an Almร–i from India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ, stayed behind.

From a sparsely populated 10-seater Nissan ๐ŸšŒ it became a 16-seater Ford Transit ๐ŸšŒ with 16 + 2 ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿผ ๐Ÿ‘ง international guests. Sam, of course, had brothers ๐Ÿ˜ณ, and one of these brothers was named "Nok". He drives damn ๐Ÿ˜ก well ๐ŸšŒ ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ2 hours for just under 120 km.

Well, dear girls, boys, and transgender people. And here our story ends.

And if Sam, Nok, and their brothers don't...they're still driving today ๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Something small for the funny bones had to be done....

*1-2 pictures will actually come ๐Ÿ˜…
