Cambodia has only recently emerged from decades of isolation and the Khmer people are happy and welcoming. It is a country of chaotic sights, smells, sounds and tastes - there's as much adventure dodging the motorbikes as you cross the roads as you'll find on a pilgrimage to glorious and mysterious ancient temple city of Angkor Wat. In the middle of this dusty, colourful country, lies the giant freshwater Tonle Sap lake - the breathing heart of Cambodia - and south are empty tropical beaches. If you've been looking for a change from Thailand's tourism over-crowding, try a trip to Cambodia.

Farewell Battambang

Fri, 3 Feb 2012 | By lesleyandjan | Views [7]

Unbelievably over 6 months have passed.  So it is with sadness we prepare to leave Battambang.  We will have great memories of the kids, swimming, the countryside and the people we have met. But time to move on.  Next week we go to Sihanoukville ... Read more >

A New Year

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 | By fimc | Views [59] | Comments [5]

So now its 2012.  A lot sure has happened since my last job in Sydney came to an abrupt end in January 2009 – three years ago!  Some of it pretty funny, like recently when I was at the checkout at the supermarket paying for a mop, one of the squeezy sponge ... Read more >

As I'm teaching an English lesson this morning there is one girl that I just can't seem to get interested. I tried adapting the content to something I think she may be more interested in, I tried making it a bit easier and she continued with correct ... Read more >

23rd of January 2012

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 | By imelda | Views [50]

I sit here in my room alone, paralysed. Correction, i sit here in my room, with my illusive gecko friend, paralysed. Physically and emotionally I have been drained. I came here knowing that it was going to be hard work and I was willing and ready for ... Read more >

Cambodia Bound

I am currently sitting in the restaurant of our Hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Unfortunately the battery on my netbook has died and outlets aren't working at this hotel. Alot has happened in the last while. Last Friday I met up with my tour group, ... Read more >

Ban Lung

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 | By walkingabout2 | Views [52]

Ban Lung sounded interesting because of the jungle trekking opportunities; since it wasn't far from Kratie I decided to go there ($6 by bus). It isn't much of a town really, dusty and small - there is a large market, several guesthouses to choose ... Read more >

Kratie

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 | By walkingabout2 | Views [47]

I went to Kratie because it was an easy stop on my way to the border, and I wanted to see the endangered Irrawaddy dolphins. Kratie wasn't much of a town, but it was low-key and I rented a bike to see the countryside and climbed another mountain ... Read more >

Siem Reap

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 | By walkingabout2 | Views [51]

My first encounter with Siem Reap was a bumpy ride on the back of a motorcycle to my guesthouse after getting off the boat from Battambang. It was a clay road with huge potholes; I was really imagining Siem Reap to be hugely developed due to the ... Read more >

Riverboat ride from Battambang to Siem Reap

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 | By walkingabout2 | Views [52]

I decided to get to Siem Reap via a riverboat on the Tonle Sap. The trip takes about 7 hours from Battambang - and is a fantastic journey, a birds-eye view of real life on the river. This isn't something for the tourists - you see the real Cambodia ... Read more >
