These things happened within 12 hours of my arrival in Cambodia: (1) I bribed an immigration official so that we could cut to the front of the long visa stamping line; (2) I went to a pizza restaurant that was out of pizza; (3) I saw a tourist in a ... Read more >

Big day!! We got up extremely early to meet our tuk-tuk driver at 4:30 am . We had to go get our entrance ticket for the Angkor temples. Popular place, and ticket lines can be long; I wish I'd remembered that to get our tickets yesterday. We could ... Read more >

From Battambang, there are buses to Siem Reap that take about 3 hours, or a boat ride that takes about 6. We decided to take the scenic route for a change. We headed to the dock at 7am, and found that this "big boat" we had been told about, was just ... Read more >

Cambodian BBQ. Similar to Korean, but the grill is surrounded with vegetables and water that becomes a delicious soup with all the meat being grilled.
We've got 7 kinds of meat here, chicken, pork, beef, kangaroo, squid, crocodile and fish. ... Read more >

Pub street in Siem Reap. Literally every place is a bar, restaurant, massage parlour, or some combination of all three.
Don't assume that pub street during the day is the same at night.
Once the sun goes down the street transforms into a plethora ... Read more >

If you get to chance to try Khmer food, I highly recommend it.
Must cheaper than western food, and much more filling.
This is Amok, a curry dish with meat and vegetables served in a coconut along with rice.

Ankor Thom area, another temple site.
Don't underestimate how large these temples are.
Bring lots of water, sunscreen and food.
Otherwise be prepared to have to bargain hard with the vendors to get a half decent price.

Ankor Wat.
Pictures and words do not fully explain how big these temples truly are.
If you come to Asia, do not miss this experience.
Also, if one vendor offers you 10 postcards for $1, and another offers you 1 postcard for $1 and you get 9 ... Read more >

Ok...Ha may have been onto something.
After a shower, a massage and a bed, we're starting to feel like human beings again.
Cambodia, you may be starting to redeem yourself.

The bowl is steaming hot. I deeply inhale the lemongrass and galangal and immediately start salivating.
And as soon as I put a spoonful in my mouth, my tastebuds "rush into a frenzy" - the original Malay meaning of the word "amok".

Con una gran emoción en la piel y grandes expectativas, por fin llegábamos a una de las paradas que más anhelaba de este gran viaje: Angkor Wat.
Ya me había leído todas las recomendaciones posibles: que no hace falta ... Read more >

I am cold! For the first time in the six months since I left New Zealand I am actually really quite cold. It is 5am, dark and the tuk-tuk is buzzing along the road that leads to Angkor Wat. Along with hundreds of other tourists, we are heading to the ... Read more >

I usually have little trouble with children. They know their place and I know mine. In rapscallion moments I have been called a ‘dinosaur’, a ‘mountain’ and things in Chinese I have not the wit to translate. Over time I have ... Read more >

Siem Reap had changed out of all proportion when I reached there nine months later. The old spreading tree, under which I had eaten so many meals, had disappeared to be replaced with a bank of shops, yet more restaurants and a boulangerie. Tourists had ... Read more >

In sum, friendly people, tasty food (although not that spicy), humbling history and amazing sites.
We arrived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia via an international bus from Don Khon, Lao. About 5km outside of Kratie, Cambodia the bus got delayed---apparently ... Read more >

You are never too old for firsts. I am relatively well travelled, but until now I have never really travelled on my own. It was something that I needed to know that I could do. Sitting at the riverfront in Phnom Penh on my last night in Cambodia I had ... Read more >

CAMBODIA | Mon, 7 Jan 2013 | By saigon | Photo Gallery | Scholarship Entry
Being in remote places and getting lost is something I always wishes to do. Places that I haven't ever been before, exploring new things that I've not got the chance to experience. Traveling overseas would really give many chances of meeting people from ...
