I stayed in The Twizt Lifestyle Hostel for my last three nights in Siem Reap. Even though the hostel is in downtown Siem Reap I didn’t do much exploring except going out for meals. Most of the time I just chilled in the dorm room, did some writing, and watched YouTube videos. I also hung out at the rooftop swimming pool a few times.
The temperature is so hot here and I wondered about how global warming affects this region of the world. I think the rising 1.5 C is much apparent here than it is in northeast US since the temperature is already hot here. I don’t know how anyone can stop global warming on an individual basis, but I try to live in a minimalistic way so that I don’t contribute much to my carbon footprint. It makes a very small difference when I refuse to purchase materialistic goods, but at least it’s something. I think we can all do better by curbing our consumption so fewer things are manufactured, produced, shipped, consumed, wasted, recycled, and buried.
I just had breakfast at a cafe near the hostel and I’ll be taking the 8:30 AM bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. I enjoyed my stay at The Twizt Hostel even though it’s much quieter than the White Rabbit Hostel. I was able to get good sleep without much interruption. I didn’t talk much to anyone here since the atmosphere isn’t very social, but last night I talked briefly to a traveler from South Korea. She’s been traveling for three years and will go back home in two weeks. I can’t imagine myself traveling that long. I’m already tired of traveling after nine and half months.
Since I had a lot of time to think, I thought about the things I want to do when I get back home. I wish I was home now. Just two more cities and less than two weeks away I’ll be home. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life after traveling.
