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!!!!

I really liked PP. The architecture was nice, the city was clean compared to its regional neighbors, and the people were not fussy at all about Westerners walking around town. The Mekong waterfront...after a bit more development...will be just lovely. But the classic French cafes that are already t…

when i was in high school college and all that didn't seem like type of life i wanted to live and i most certainly didn't want to end up in a typical routine. i wanted to do something where i could really do anything i want. since traveling always inspired me i decided instead of college to go away for a little while. i picked out Australia just because i didn't know too much about it and it seemed like a interesting place to visit, i planned to be away for about four months.

We split Cambodia in half, starting at the Cambodian border crossing of Poipot then onto Siem Reap & Angkor Wat then through the Capital Phnom Penh before entering Vietnam

Eight months in Thailand,Cambodia,Laos,Malaysia,Burma and Singapore

i'm back in Cambodia, it's a little stopover between Vietnam and Bangkok. I wanted to visit some friends I made (and its a nice city too) so here I am. The guesthouse I'm at is awesome, every night they just play movie after movie (all with subtitles & bootlegged, of course, but that's what…

Hier is het reisschema.

Now, we are at the local "FCC Cafe" befuddled and betwixt about being in a third world country away from all things familiar to us. We all have numerous stamps on our passports but this place is decidedly different from anything any of us has ever encountered. It's hot, it smells bad, the water is …

Phnom Penh. I like this city a lot. Here you see a country trying hard to become a better place to live in, without giving up its identity. Nevertheless, especially when you take a look in the outskirts, you also see there is still a long way to go. What strikes me most is the optimistic, humourist…

Cambodia – a day of irony.   I am going to plagiarize from my friend Michel, who did a little write up on our time in Phnom Penh. Do I love or hate Phnom Penh? – by Michael from somewhere in Europe Hi guys, After Siem Reap, I went to Phnom Penh. I heard much about this city and was rea…

In 2008 i set off on my 1st RTW trip, taking in 14 countries i made my way round the planet anti clockwise taking in the sights and sounds of: USA, New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Fiji, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Nepal & India before returning back 'Home' to rejoin the norm we call the 'rat race'. A truely amazing period of my life, learnt heaps, saw such beauty and met some inspirational people! Enjoy the pics i captured on my journey!

I was most excited to get to PP having seen the movies and read the books.  It did not disappoint.  Organized chaos is the only way to describe it really.  Thousands of people on cycle, motor bikes, by foot and the occasional car.  Book airport transfer through your guest house …

Lundi 21 Mai.... Cambodge Une Journee pour se taper  Phnom penh... Premier regret, nous ne passerons pas asser de temps ici. Il est clair dans ma tete de noix que si vous avez un pays d'asie a faire dans les prochaines annees c'est la Cambodge. Ne perder pas trop de temps car le cha…

If there’s one place about Cambodia that will propably always remain in my memory, it won’t be Ankor Wat, it won’t be taking a boat over the Mekong, it won’t be the people being friendly, it will be Toul Sleng, aka S21, aka museum of genocide. There’s really no other place in Cambodia th…
