We thought you'd enjoy some things we've experienced along the way that have made us look differently about how we've grown up, or simply made us say ''Huh?" In Thailand, soda's aren't worth a whole lot.  As a matter of fact, the soda in a glass bottle is worth less than the glass bottle itse…

During one of the days I was in Phnom Penh, I headed out to Stueng Meanchey on the outskirts of town. I've already seen many pictures of the conditions of the people living there, but I just needed to witness it for myself.As I arrived, the stench of rotting food and decaying rubbish in general…

We’ve been travelling for nearly 28 hours (including the overnight stop in Kompong Cham) when we arrive midday at Siem Reap. There’s a fifth Musketeer for the group now too in the form of Michael from Poland. A man instantly respected by myself owing to our shared obsession with Tori Amos, all …

The oldest Pagoda in Siem Reap (though by far not as ancient as the Angkor temples), is Wat Bo. It was build in the 18th century and is one of the most beautiful buildings in SR. It has a very ancient atmosphere and doesn't show the kitch and shineyness of other pagoda's that I dislike very much..F…

                    Just a few thoughts about Cambodia and a few photos from our last day her.           Cambodia is a country full of contrasts.  On one side the areas with hotels, restaurants and shops…

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia) Last time i was in Phnom Penh was a whistle stop tour, but this time i decided to spend a little longer and booked a guesthouse by the peaceful, if not touristy, Boeng Kak Lake. Our first day was predominantly taken up or…

Here are more pics of the interior of Angkor Wat and its splendour. However, works must be accelerated to prevent further wear and tear to the existing structure so as to preserve this wonderful piece of heritage for the sake of our future generations, in order that all is not lost with the passing…

We flew from Ho Chi Minh City straight into Siem Reap. The Tuk Tuk drivers in these south east asian countries are fantastic. They get a commission for pretty much everything they take you to. Once you understand how it all works, and learn how to let them know that you are actually i…

Super slecht geslapen vanacht door de felle wind (en ook wel door de graafwerken die ze vlak onder mijn raam aan het uitvoeren waren, en die stoppen snachts niet hoor want dan is het koeler en doen ze net extra goed door). Vanochtend toch maar besloten om naar de drijvende dorpen te gaan. Enfin, g…

For the first time in three days, the students in the restaurant got our breakfast order right, and the food was actually hot. And now that they have figured things out, we are leaving. I will definitely return to Cambodia to explore it further. Siem Reap was just a teeny tiny taste. (Steve says, "…

Hot and sweaty are not adjectives I use often to describe myself but are as fitting as any on this morning. With the gentle fan not quite blowing away all my perspiration, a warm equally sweaty body pressed up against mine, and a mosquito net staring at me elegantly six feet above; I am entranced. …

I woke up early again - it'll be nice to get home and have a real night's sleep in my bed.  Can't believe my trip is coming to an end soon, but then I do miss home. For breakfast, I had room service - hotcakes with grilled palm bananas - again, ok, but not great.  I had no plans other th…

I really had awesome times traveling with Bennie (Bmatital) and Ying (aznfunghi). We've been to Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore and Malaysia. There we've met new friends!! I like to share my pics and clips with you how much fun we had and so many beautiful places we visited.

There was no drama this time unlike my Phuket trip where I almost miss my flight. It went smoothly and there was no delay, plane landed at 8am.   I don’t have accommodation yet, so the first thing I did was to search for a place to stay. Few days before my trip, I did research for cheap h…

Today I would see the temples I had come so far to see. I rented a tuk tuk for $15 for the entire day to drive me around. His name was ToeLa. First I said take me to Angkor Wat temple. If I was going to be templed out again, I'd like it not to be there. For there were so many others to see all day.…
