... to last 100 lifetimes... I can't even imagine the stories some of these people have to tell. It's a bit of a sad and weird way to end my trip here in Cambodia. I have to say that Nam is still been my favourite country I've visited on this trip but I think it's Cambodia that's going to stay with me.
