Phnom Penh, Cambodia marcmsmVeneretki Kambodzhaan meni mukavasti maisemia katellessa. Ja se on uskomatonta miten paljon maisemat muuttu kun paastiin talle puolelle. Jotenkin Kambodzha tuntu paljon vihreemmalta ja seesteisemmalta kun Vietnamin vilske. Lapset tosin vilkutteli joen rannoilla samalla lailla kun Vietnamin puolellakin. Kolmisen tuntia siis venematka ja saavuttiin jonkun kodin taakse mista kiivettiin mutasta rinnetta ylos ja otettiin minibussi keskustaan. Ajettiin kuoppasta tieta joku 1,5tuntia paakaupunkiin P...

It was pretty cute how excited they were. <br><br>Later the store owner explained that that's a difficult thing to do because now they'll come back now expecting it. The more you give them ...

Phnom Penh, Cambodia awfullook... Basically there is a lake in PP (which the wonderfully corrupt government has sold & is now filling in so it wont be there much longer...) with guest houses jutting out onto it. Very Cool indeed. <br>The first night we ended up the The Drunken Frog (the first of countless nights to follow). We had a lock in till 4am & discovered that almost all of a certain type of people get stuck in PP. Some for up to 8 years. We very nearly became one of these ...
