Cambodia

the 4th day in PP

Day 4 in Phnom Penh. I woke up early this morning, feeling refreshed. The weather felt less hot somehow, maybe I got used to it? I had scrambled egg and breadroll with English tea for breakfast and then I cycled with even more confidence then yesterday to What Phnom. It was interesting but...

The Temples of Angkor

This part of the trip was really indescribable for me. Rachel has been talking up Angkor Wat since we have been planning this trip and it did not disappoint. Most of the temples were constructed at least 600 years ago by various Angkor Kings. Much like the Egyptian Pharoahs, the kings would...

Sihanokville, reunion with Sean and Kia

We made it on a bus from Phnom Penh to Sihoukville and found Sean and Kia! Zack and I are staying in an awesome beach bungalow. It has a little private front porch with two chairs, a table, and a hammock! It's fun seeing old friends from Korea here at the beach in Cambodia. We went and had...

Sunset in Phnom Penh

I guess we've been in Cambodia for a week now. We spent the first night and two following days, exploring the ""pearl of Asia" as the city was known before the Khmer Rouge revolution that started on April 17, 1975. We actually missed this horrifying anniversary by only one day arriving on the...

Mines and dust

Recently (April 2009) there has been fighting on the Cambodian Thai border as a months old standoff between the countries over the 900AD Preah Vihear temple has boiled over. I decided to travel by moped, with a guide, to the temple to get the layman's view of what this is about. We set off...

Trekking near Ban Lung

We fancied doing a bit of trekking in Cambodia, so from Kratie we waited for the bus to Ban Lung in Ratanakiri province, where we had heard there is some good trekking. Waiting for the bus was also a French guy called Fabrice, who we got chatting to. He was taking lovely pictures of some...

Genocides, Non-Profit Radio Drama and Dumps, Oh My!

What do these three things have in common? Our Pacific Discovery group experienced them all in Phnom Penh! Phnom Penh is a city separated by a large gap with riches, development, and corporate jobs in one corner, and with entrenched, dump-diving, amputated poverty in the other. But in the...
