Goodbye to Siem Reap. What a cool place! Loads of traffic on the roads and we were stopped at the first accident we had seen between a Camry and a moto bike. The guy on the bike picked up the bike and a few bits and pieces on the road and limped off and the car driver just drove off. No one helped just looked. Next time we slowed was for the remainders of a fire that had occurred in the markets overnight and decimated many stalls. Heaps of onlookers. We got to the bus and our bags were whippe...

Today was going to be a bit depressing as on our to visit list was Tuol Sleng Museum (known also as S21) and then out to the Killing Fields. Sappore picked us up and we walked around Tuol Sleng. Once a high school, in 1976 it became a place for interrogation and extermination of any anti-angkor elements by the Lon Nol regime. Prisoners were chained in 8 x 2m cells, women were more often raped and there was barbed wire on the top floors to stop people committing suicide. There were 10 regulati...

After a leisurely breakfast & discovery channel we went for a stroll down Sisowath street & along the river bank. Loads of dodgy looking boats. I wanted to take a cruise on the river but Pete not so keen. It may have had something to do with the stench of sewer water running into the river and the murky brown look of it. We passed people bathing, washing clothes and collecting food from this river. I guess that's survival. In the afternoon we visited the Silver Pagoda and the Royal Pa...

'It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me (us), and I'm (we're) feeling good'*. The sunset looks different with a glowing Asian sun, the sounds of honking motos and tuk tuks, and the street scapes are unmistakeable: we're back in Cambodia. Phnom Penh is a part of the quickly disappearing, genuine Asia where prices are still exceptionally low, a more laid back rural atmosphere can be found and Buddhist monks in their flowing orange robes walk the streets to collect alms. Singapo...

Phnom Penh was a stop-over on our way to Siem Reap but we still managed to do some fun stuff while we were there… Mainly, shooting! We went to a shooting range just outside of town where we both shot a K-54 handgun and Drew shot an AK-47 assault rifle. It was awesome but terrifying. I'd never know that I’m terrified of guns – ...

... the boy with the moto, the word mortified doesn't come close. Scott made a few bows and apologies then quickly sped off as she wheeled my bike into the kitchen and I mumbled about another hundred apologies then sheeped off to bed. Not until the next morning did she explain that the electricity had gone out, hence no lights, and the boys must have thought that meant that we were already in bed so they locked the gate. We had a good laugh, some nods and smiles, I'm sure it will happen again.

Hi All<br><br>Hope you are all doing great and staying out of trouble wherever you are. <br><br>We aren't staying out of trouble........ We seem to attract the stuff..... From the moment we stepped of the bus from Siem Reap.... Noma bless her heart decided to have an argument with a taxi driver for trying to rip us off. He said it was an $8 ride to the area we wanted to go but it was really only about $2 and after being swamped by about a dozen tuk tuk ...

... Bullets were scarce so bodies were hacked, beheaded or left to be consumed by chemicals that were thrown onto them in the pits. Babies were held by the ankles and swung against tree trunks.<br><br>Many pits are still to be exhumed, but the original pagoda has been converted to a home for thousands of skulls already retrieved.<br><br>Hard to understand how these things happen…. And continue to happen.

... house. He wasn't there. We called to one of the moto drivers outside. He hadn't seen the guard. We were stuck! We called Chanthy, one of the guys who works at the Sam Rainsy Headquarters and asked him to let our students know that we would be late. He didn't quite understand and said he would come pick us up. After a few tries (the language barrier is always multiplied when the conversation takes ...
