What are 3G networks? Third generation or 3G networks represent an international standard for wide-area cellular networks that are replacing 2G networks. The main advantage of 3G networks is use of a wider radio spectrum resulting in faster data transmission for advanced multimedia services and a larger network capacity. Carriers can deliver th...

I spent today at the memorial and museum for the Auto Genocide of the Khmer Rouge. Runm by Polpot, this Communist system killed more than a fifth of the people in Cambodia. Those surviving were forced in to hard labour., The Memorial of skulls is a hard thing to see, although paradoxically even amonst the tiny pits that contained so many bodies,...

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year in 2008!! After narrowly missing our flight out of Australia due to not having onward travel tickets (although nobody in Thailand cared about this), we made it to Bangkok, Thailand. Unfortunately, the first couple of days we only experienced the joy of haggling with taxi...

Traveling can widen one's horizons because it provides the traveler with an opportunity to see an entire nation with a life perspective different than your own. When one gets to accept, enjoy and add the new perspective to one's own perspective, than one's horizons are truly expanded.

So, another day, another lenghty bus ride. Fortunately, the journey into Cambodia was fairly painless, with less than the usual border chaos. The difference between Vietnam and Cambodia was clear immediatly, with much larger numbers of beggars, a lot of them victims of the Khmer Rouge and their legacy of land mines. The countryside was also far ...

Phnom Penh, Days 91-92 With an appointment to keep at the Indian Embassy at 4 O'clock I start to get worried when our bus gets mired attempting some off roading at a temporary bridge. The stranded truck ahead of us should have been a warning but the driver blithely followed after it, after us others got blocked as traffic started to back up and ...

So after our shopping excursion in Hanoi and some difficulty navigating the streets (read: making it through them alive) we left Hanoi early the next day (which translates into a 7:00 am flight) - this time we had a stop-over in Vientiane (the more educated will know that this is the capital of Laos - the less educated (like myself) will have to...

At 7:00 a cyclo-taxi whisked our backpacks off to a boat on the river, and we followed on foot. The boat took us to visit a fish farm, which was basically a wooden house floating on top of 100,000 red snapper. We reached the house by a long, bendy wooden plank. Apparently 30% of the fish die due to the pollution in the river. The fish food conta...

PHNOM PENH 20 - 26 April Arrived yesterday Friday, 20 April. Staying in a fab guesthouse called No 9 Guesthouse. It's lovely and has a brilliant socialising area and it's right on the lake. Today (Sat) we hooked up with some fellow travellers, and went to the Killing Fields. Wow, it was very moving so much to the point I shed a few tears there. ...
