when life throws you lemons

We were traveling to Prakrow village in Takeo province. To reach the village, we got to cross this vast rice field where the fields stretch as far as the eye can see. (ok, I might be exaggerating a little bit) But the point is the field is freaking far from the nearest town/petrol station/mechanic.
So you can imagine our faces when the van we were traveling in suddenly stalled and refused to start up. We looked at each other, look at the vast paddy fields, then burst out laughing!
Coz when life throws lemons at you, well, it's best to have a good laugh! Well, that laugh really did us good! Thank God we had someone in our team with some engineering background (no it's not me). He suggested we all got off and push start the van!
So that's exactly what we did. If you watched Little Miss Sunshine, you kinda get the idea what entails in a van push start. The push start worked, we all rejoiced and jumped on the van and made our way to the village!
