Eva and I took a bus to Siam Reap this morning. Our bus made a pit stop at by a small road side town. 30 min to use the bathroom, stretch your legs (its a 5 hour bus ride from Phenom Pen) and grab a bite to eat.Of all the street fair, the bugs are my favorite.not to eat, mind you. Grasshoppers and …

The skin of the trees is shine under the sunshine. it look like silver.  you don’t know why, many things here arevery strange, the root of old trees extended into the stone, you cant separate them.

We arrived back in Bangkok with the mission to get out again as soon as possible.  However, a spontaneous large night out delayed things somewhat.  We stumbled across a bar which, by day is a Shell petrol station and by night converts into a bar!  We were literally drinking in b…

Woke up, the regular cold shower and hopped on a Moto (a motorbike driven by a local). His name is Barang and for $10 he will spend 9hours of his day driving me to whatever spots i please. Withdrew some cash & headed off towards the temples. Love this way of travel. Faster and cheaper than tukt…

I was picked up at the airport by an old school friend whom I hadn’t seen for ages. At least 10 years must have passed since we saw each other the last time. He lives in Phnom Penh and works for Norsk Folkehjelp. Landmines are a big problem in Cambodia, and he works there as an advisor/consultant…

  Mine Museum Cambodia is an inspiring country to visit. When one thinks of the awe inspiring Angkor Wat & the tragedy under the Khmer Rouge it is a country that deserves to be visited. Siem Reap is quite westernised. This city is filled with shops with a cause (supporting local ar…

Temples of Angkor, Siem Reap

JUN05 32c/nearly 100% humidity :)Arrive at modern Phnom penh intl airport(compare to our sad little Perth airport...just sad)anyway, while we are travelling from Phnom penh to Siem reap, the scenery,the ancient temple, lush green forest and the special snack(which I forgot to take photo)were eyes open experience. People are so friendly,especially the children they brought us so much laughter. It was a shame that we can't stay longer, looking forward to go back there one day!!!!

Travelling to 5 countries by myself, together with my Canon DSLR, tripod and remote control. ;-)

Probably the most emotional place I've ever been to.The Killing Fields are just desperate. I can't even contemplate what the Cambodians were thinking, to treat their fellow countrymen this way. The S21 is even more tearing of the emotions. Some pretty sick people are still alive, from the torture c…

If you're travelling by road, getting to Cambodia from Bangkok makes for an epic journey. First, you need to get a bus to Aranya Prathet which you can do from most of the main bus stations (Ekkami, Morchit and Southern). From Ekkami they run every 30 mins and cost about 200 baht, the other two…

Some photos from the few days i spent in Siem Reap about a year ago.

so, for work, everyone on my fam to Southeast Asia was asked to do a write up on the trip. i actually don't think anyone but me actually did one. and, following the theme of my laziness, i am going to paste it in here (with a few alterations), since its a pretty concise account of my amazing trip. …

Pictures of Cambodia..

Phnom Penh has loads of beautiful temples, lots of friendly people and interesting food.  The monuments and museums to the Khmer Rouge are difficult but a necessary experience.
