Part 6 The end of our journey

Cambodia was in many ways similar to Laos, althought it has twice the population.At another inn we talked with a teacher who told us that half of the people in her country couldn’t read or write.Her village couldn’t even afford to build a school.So she had to teach outside under a large tent.When we said goodbye,we all felt very lucky to have studied in college.Back on the road,we passed between many hills and forests.Then we came to the plains and entered the Phnom Penh,the capital of Cambodia.In many ways it looked like Vientiane and Ho Chi Minh City.It also had wide streets with trees in rows and old French houses.Unlike Vientiane ,ships could travel the Mekong River here.In the centre of the city we visited the palace and saw a beatiful white elephant.It can only be seen outside the palace on special days.We ate an early supper and went to see a great temple with floors made of silver.The next morning our group slept late.We were very tired from the long bike ride the day before. Cycling in the hills had been dificult.Now our cousins had the chance to make jokes about WangWei and me.Perhaps,they said,they were the strong ones.We had lunch at a nice outdoor cafe,then rode out of the city.Two days latter we crossed the border into the Vietnam.We began to see many more people.But I wasn’t surprised. I read in an atlas before our tripe that Vietnam has almost seven times the population of Cambodia.We met a farmer who gave us directions and told us that he grows a new rice crop four times every year so he can feed more people.He also told us that the northern part of his country has many mountains and it is much cooler than here in the south,where it is flat.Althought the flat land of the delta made it earsier for us to cycle,we get warm very quickly.So we drank lots of water and ate lots of bananas.Soon the delta separated into nine smaller rivers.Two days later, after we had passed thousands of rice fields, we came to the sea.We were tired but also in high spirit.Our dream to cycle along the Mekong River had finally come ture.
柬埔寨在许多方面都与老挝相似，尽管它的人口是老挝的两倍。在另一个小饭店里我们和一位老师谈话，她告诉我们在她的国家有一半的人不会阅读和书写。她所在的村子甚至没有钱去建学校。因此她不得不在外面的大帐篷下教学。当我们分手时，我们感觉在大学的学习是多么的幸运。又上路了，我们穿过了许多小山和树林，来到了平原进入了柬埔寨的首都金边。在许多方面它看上去像万象(老挝首都)和胡志明市(越南南部城市)，它也有宽阔的街道，排列整齐的树木以及老式的法国建筑。与万象不同的是在这里可以坐船去湄公河。在城市中心，我们参观了皇宫，看到了一只漂亮的白象，这只能在特定的日子才能在皇宫外看到，我们早早地吃完晚饭就去参观那座著名的银子铺地的寺庙。第二天早晨我们的团队起来的很迟，我们经过了前天长途骑行都感到很累。在山上骑行是很困难的。现在我们的兄弟还能与王伟和我开玩笑，也许他们想说，他们的身体是最好的。我们在外面的一家不错的咖啡店吃了午饭，然后骑着车出了城。两天后我们穿过国境线来到了越南。我们见到的人开始多了起来，但我并不吃惊。在旅行前我看过相关地图集越南的人口是柬埔寨的七倍。我们遇到一位农民为我们指路，并告诉我们他一年种四季水稻所以他能养活更多的人，他还告诉我们在这个国家的北部有许多大山，那里比这边南方要冷许多，这里是地势平坦。尽管三角洲的平原让我们易于骑行，但很快我们就感到热了。所以我们喝了大量的水，吃了许多香蕉。不久湄公河三角洲分出了九条小河。两天后，我们穿过上千公顷的水稻田后，我们来到了海边。我们很累但兴致不减。我们的梦想就是骑行畅游湄公河，现在终于实现了。
