Final thoughts on Cambodia.

  • I loved it here, the people, the scenery, the food...
  • I found their history incredibly interesting and tragic.
  • Cambodian culture is very similar to Thai – temples, architecture, food...
  • So much poverty, it was an eye opening experience.
  • They carry everything and their kitchen sinks on the back of their motorbikes (crazy to cruel):
    • Huge plants and household items.
    • Live pigs on their backs.
    • Live chickens, hanging upside down.
  • Tonle Sap – the largest body of water here has a vast floating village – much more impressive than Vietnam’s.
  • The children are beautiful and I really wanted to take some home with me!

  • Happy 95th birthday to my Grandpa on March 22!


  • On my last day in Siem Reap I ran into Matthais and Matina, the couple I kept running into in Vietnam. We met up for dinner, along with Olivier from Switzerland who worked as a photographer for the UN. Very cool.
  • I’d like to go back one day to see more of the country. I definitely didn’t allow enough time here.
  • And I got my voice back... on to Laos!

More soon...
xoxo
