Siem Reap...Angkor Wat, the 8th wonder of the world!

After our 7 hour bus ride, we arrived in a muddy dirt parking lot in Siem Reap. We were supposed to be picked up, with a tuk-tuk driver waiting for us, but again we fought through hoards of tuk-tuk drivers trying to overcharge us and to take us to a good hostel! As a side note, Phnom...

Phnom Penh.. nataional holidays three for three

We were off on our bus from Saigon to Phnom Penh and we were expecting a fairly rigorous boarder crossing; some of the people we talked to, and the reviews on the internet hinted at corrupt boarder guards and long wait times. Our experience however, was totally painless. A little confusing...

16.09.09 Cycling to work along the river is really nice. Usually in the morning I see first the elderly lady who sits in her little shop just next to my house. She can’t speak a word English but we smile at each other and she is very friendly when I buy something there. Then I wave to Vandy who...

Angkor WHAT?!

Quick, close your eyes! Empty your mind. Think: Cambodia. What do you see? Probably Angkor Wat, the world's biggest religious building. And with good reason: Angkor is to Cambodia what Lady Liberty is to NYC--only, having seen them both now, I can say with authority that Angkor is far more...
