Fish guts and not so sugar cane juice
The night before I left for Battambang, I cleverly stayed up until 5am watching the last USA match for the World Cup. We lost, so obviously that was totally worth it (not at all). After my three hour bus ride on Sunday, I did what has now ...

Wat's Cooking!?
The best route to Battambong is under debate, - bus or boat - bus or boat. Boat we heard was quicker/more comfortable, and all apparently in good nick. We'd heard. An early start took us to the jetty for our scenic 'cruise' across Cambodias imposing ...
Nice Khmer Food (not the bugs though)

Cambodian Kidnaps In The Snow

We moved on from Siem Reap on 6th January, with a boat trip to Battambang - a smallish, 'non-touristy' colonial city about 100 miles from Siem Reap. The boat had 2 benches along the side with enough space for about 15 people, but the boat owners manage ...
