Amanda's Intrepid Journey...
Kampot is a small town which does not seem to have enough people relative to the number of buildings it has, so it seems like a dusty little ghost town, and for the most part it is. The main reason travellers come here is to visit Bokor ...
Ghosthill of Kampot
... . Söimme hymyssä suin, herkutellen vihdoin eri ruuista, joita ei saaren läpikotaisesti kolutusta menusta löytynyt. Kampot on kuuluisa mustapippuristaan, ja ennen punakhmerien vallankumousta sitä löytyikin jokaisesta Pariisin itseään kunnioittavan ...

Twas the night before Halloween, and it was spooky
... Doo movie. Continuing in the scary vein, on Halloween day, we all decided to save a little money by taking a "local bus" from Kampot heading north. Big mistake. Let me set the stage, one Toyota miny-van, 19 people inside, 3 on the roof, locals glaring ...
