tufts of hair on his chin shine in tainted spittle. His long pinkie talon jabs

After spending two months in Thailand, it was time to move onto a new country. Cambodia, though very close in proximity, is worlds apart from its affluent neighbor to the west. The lingering legacy of civil war is noticeable as soon as you cross the ... Read more >

Angkor Wat was one of my dream destinations and the centerpiece of my trip. Unfortunately, pretty much everything went wrong with my trip there. It started with my getting booked in a guesthouse that had some major flaws. First they spoke almost no ... Read more >
