Day 2

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 | By businesschick | Views [3]

Had breakfast in the hotel restaurant. There was the usual fruit and toast with tea or coffee along with an array of hot cambodian food that all looked a bit dodgy. That didn't stop me from having the watery rice and loaded it up with chilli pickles.... Read more >

Day 1 - Arrival in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 | By businesschick | Views [4]

It ain't called the Business Chicks Cambodia Challenge for nothing. Right from the start, this challenge has given me an adventure to remember. I am thankful amd most appreciative of all the wonderful kind hearted people that have helped me along this ... Read more >

BUGS, BUMPS, and BOOKS

Sun, 1 Nov 2009 | By jessie604 | Views [60] | Comments [5]

BUGS! AAARRggggh.  Can't seem to get away from them.  It's a sad reality that you just have to get used to here, there is NO escape, so just stop trying, because you're wasting energy.  I don't mean just swatting flies.  Though there's plenty of that ... Read more >

Never a dull moment

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 | By fishyfish | Views [37]

 1st Stop-Cambodia I arrive late, the city streets are sleepy as am I. Aniticipating the awesome hot shower to wash away over 24hrs of flying and layover time plus some stress"Ode de Fish" from my Shanghai shinanigans of United Airlines. So ... Read more >

Cambodge & Malaisie

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 | By stackattack | Views [52]

From Saigon we got the bus straight through to Siem Reap in Cambodia, which for a change was just bliss cause it was empty and we got a whole seat each to lie down on. After around 13 hours we arrived to find that Siem Reap was indeed flooded and the ... Read more >

Battembang and back

Thu, 8 Oct 2009 | By alistair | Views [62] | Comments [1]

Battambang is the second largest city in Cambodia and not at all tourist orientated. It’s such a pleasure to not be hounded for massage, tuk-tuk, motorcycle etc. Walking around town I actually get stared at. Either because I’m so devilishly handsome ... Read more >

Kratie & Ban Lung

Wed, 7 Oct 2009 | By amy_smith | Views [68]

We took a super long bus ride from Siem Reap to Kratie (Kratchey) and it turned out there was so little to do there that even a tour guide said, "I can get you on the first bus out of here tomorrow morning!" We stayed an extra day though and ... Read more >

Siem Reap and the Floating Temples

Sun, 4 Oct 2009 | By alistair | Views [67]

Having learned my lesson on the bus trip up from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh, I paid a little extra for my ticket to Siem Reap and found a seat further back, out of sight of the front windscreen and almost out of hearing of the horn and the karaoke ... Read more >

Phnom Penh - passing through again

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 | By alistair | Views [51]

It seems that everything passes through Phnom Penh, so I was back in the city for a few days before heading further north. The drive up from Sihinoukville was interesting. I was on a much cheaper bus than the one I went down on and as ... Read more >

Siem Reap

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 | By amy_smith | Views [94]

This country is so beautiful. When even the 6 hour ride North from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap on a non-air-conditioned dirty cramped bus can be enjoyable if you spend the whole time staring out the window. I think the most apt word would be 'enchanting.... Read more >

Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 | By alistair | Views [48]

Sihanoukville is apparently the closest place that Cambodia has to a typical resort town, but it still has some way to go to emulate the Thai beach resorts (I’m not saying that that’s a bad thing). There are a mix of relatively unspoilt beaches ... Read more >

Phnom Penh

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 | By amy_smith | Views [82] | Comments [2]

FYI Phuket is pronounced Pooket. Thai's don't recognize 'ph' as the 'f' sound. Lol. So Phnom Penh eh? Not a particularly nice city, though the food was good and dirt cheap. Cheap as in we've yet to spend over $10 total for two huge meals and 4 beers.... Read more >

Phnom Penh - just passing through

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 | By alistair | Views [73]

When I flew in to Phnom Penh I was amazed at the scale of the monsoon flooding. There was water as far as you could see. The river banks and settlements were raised high enough to see them but there was water everywhere. I was worried that we were ... Read more >

the last few days...and a lot of travelling

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 | By living_the_dream | Views [81] | Comments [3]

Since I last wrote, a lot has happened, including pretty much every form of transport and entry into a whole new country! Right now I am sat in the capital city of Cambodia (Phohm Pehn) and watching children playing in the monsoon puddles in front of ... Read more >

New pictures!

Thu, 3 Sep 2009 | By andrew_and_alexandra | Views [98]

World Nomads failed to mention the limit on uploading photos, which was reached well over a month ago. Most recent photos (i.e. rest of Vietnam, Camdbodia, and soon China) can be found at shutterfly. I will update the links to find the photos and put ... Read more >
