Crossing to Cambodia

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 | By ryanandjo | Views [140]

We started the day by catching a long tail boat for an hour across the Mekong in monsoonal rain. Upon arriving at the boat landing we had to make our way across five boats to get to shore, testing our balancing skills. When we had safely reached dry ... Read more >

The other side of Cambodia

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 | By hopperq | Views [72]

After our Tour de Angkor we spent 2 nights in Phnom Penh.  Overall, it was a depressing experience.  We visited the Genocide Museum, or Killing fields, which is the site of many mass graves from the Khmer Rouge regime.  From there, we went straight to ... Read more >

the first part of the project is painting a new building of a school (the other buildings are also undecorated, just concrete walls etc but you have to start somewhere...). it's going well so far. we have sandpapered, primed and painted the whole exterior ... Read more >

Final thoughts from Cambodia...

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 | By muoy | Views [171] | Comments [10] | Video

My time in Cambodia is finally coming to an end.  I'm leaving in a couple of hours to the airport.  I created a video with some pictures that were taken during the trip as a recap for those who might be too lazy to go through all the pictures. :) One ... Read more >

Tour du Angkor

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 | By hopperq | Views [79]

In our effort to see as much of Angkor as possible in three days, we hopped on bikes and, like Lance, pedaled hard through the wind, rain, sun, and hordes of small children. Angkor is actually the name of a huge complex of temples (over 50) spread out ... Read more >

Learning about my past....

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 | By muoy | Views [102] | Comments [9]

Kratie/Sambok:   Day 1 The drive to Kratie took awhile because the roads were so bad.   We got to Kratie around 1pm and checked into a hotel to rest for a couple of hours.   Kratie is poorer and dirtier than Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.   I haven't ... Read more >

Shopping in Phnom Penh...

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 | By muoy | Views [128] | Comments [8]

What a nice and relaxing day!!!  Shopping, massage, working out, and lots of eating (had two fresh coconuts - it's great chilled!). I went shopping in Phnom Penh today.  I've heard everything is so cheap here, especially the clothes.  I don't know where ... Read more >

Kanchanburi/Siem Reap

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 | By aoife_duffy | Views [67]

After Bangkok we headed to Kanchanaburi which is a few hours north of Bangkok. It was much more enjoyable than Bangkok - quieter and less in your face. We hired bicycles and cycled out to these caves where there were loads of buddhist statues etc it ... Read more >

Playing in the rain....and food...

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 | By muoy | Views [169] | Comments [3] | Video

I'm feeling pretty exhausted.  I think my body is just worn out from the travel and lack of sleep.  I've been travelling almost every day since I left the states:    -- Sunday - Monday (US to Beijing:  18 hrs) -- Tuesday (Beijing to Phnom Penh:  7 hours) ... Read more >

Battambang

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 | By magda | Views [67]

Mamy nowego lidera na liście najbardziej niewygodnych podróży. To podróż łodzią z Sieam Reap do Battambang. Łódź, na którą nas wsadzono zupełnie nie przypominała tej, która widniała na plakatach w wielu agencjach turystycznych w Sieam Reap. Do tego ... Read more >

Temples and fat monkeys.....

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 | By muoy | Views [152] | Comments [3] | Video

Another hot and steamy day!!!  Wow...how do the locals survive here?  By mid-morning, I'm ready to pass out and my skin is so icky and sticky. We started out the morning at a temple called Ta Phrom Temple.  This temple was built in the late 12th and ... Read more >

Hot and Humid in Siem Reap....

Thu, 9 Jul 2009 | By muoy | Views [133] | Comments [6]

What an adventure getting to Siem Reap!!!  It seemed like there was some force trying to prevent us from getting there...breaking down the car every chance it could.  The first incident happened early on when we had to fill the radiator with water since ... Read more >

My Cambodian Connection...

Wed, 8 Jul 2009 | By muoy | Views [117] | Comments [7]

I finally made it to Phnom Penh, but not without some minor issues.  When I was packing my bags in the US, I only checked the baggage limits on Delta.  Not sure what I was thinking, but I didn't checked the limits on the airlines here in Asia.  Or rather, ... Read more >

Angkor

Mon, 6 Jul 2009 | By magda | Views [55]

Może tylko mi się wydaje, ale mam wrażenie, że świątynie Angkor – przynajmniej niektóre – starzeją się w przyspieszonym tempie. Sześć lat temu, gdy byłam tu pierwszy raz, wszystko wyglądało jakoś inaczej. Nie było tych wszystkich rusztowań i zawalonych ... Read more >
