An 4 hour flight before our actual journey into the Land of Khmer from Shanghai starts. By the time we arrived, it was already night time and raining. Luckily, we have arranged for someone from the hotel to come pick us up from the airport. The airport was unexpectedly modern and clean, kind of reminded me of the Budget Terminal in Singapore actually. As we walked out of the airport, there were tonnes of drivers already standing by to pick up their guests. Within 30 sec, I spotted my card (ca...

Rise and Shine... (with neckache and backache that is, the bed at River Star wasnt exactly comfy). I tiptoed into the balcony ready to greet the clear blue sky but I was wrong. :( Instead all I could see was massive huge clouds hanging as low as they could possibly get in the sky and of course road glistening with dampness, looked like it had rained again. [The September and October are the wettest months in Cambodia. There will be at least one torrential downpour everyday especially in the l...

2am '' Quick where's your watch? What time is it? Where's the light switch?" Today we are still on Australian time, this means that 2am is actually 5am, so our body clocks were telling us that it was time to wake up and enjoy our first full day abroad. 5 am and we went for a wonder, just cruising around checking things out. Amazed of the amount of locals that were still awake and the amount sleeping on benches or at bus stops (and this is Malaysia) The guest house that we stayed at must actua...

Departing Koh Phangnan was sad as we had had such a good time there. Phuong, Cat and I took the overnight ferry from Koh Phangnan to Suratthani..it was what I imagine being a refugee would be like..we were stuffed into the ferry and had our own little mattresses to sleep on (ewww) and windows which we opened for ventilation..it was about a 6 hour ride and I had a bit of trouble falling asleep because if you moved you were on top of the person next to you. After we got to Suratthani at 530am, ...

May 5, 2007 Today we traveled by bus from Battanbang to the capital Phnom Penh. Air conditioned first class bus fare was $22 for both of us. The road is improved and the trip is reasonably comfortable. We checked the rooms in a couple of cheaper hotels before we settled on the River Star Hotel with a room overlooking the Tonie Sap River. The rate of $29 is slightly high but the room is very clean and there is a lift to our third floor room. We aren't suffering here. May 6, 2007 Today we take ...

... This included children and babies who were held by the feet and killed by thrashing them against a tree. The tree still stands amongst the excavated pits and there are rags of clothes and even bits of bone littering the site and the paths for visitors to walk along. There's now a large Buddhist Stupa on site which contains the bones of around 8000 victims. It's open to the air as Buddhists believe that the spirit must have access to the bones and be allowed to come and ...

Phnom Penh wasn't as bad as what I'd thought it would be. Actually, I'd go as far to say I enjoyed the city and would go back. In saying this, it's not for the faint hearted. The dirt and grime and poverty are very 'in your face'. Eating at restaurants is tough when there's people staring at you and begging a couple of metres away. A little disheveled girl, aged 4 or 5, walked over to my table at least 3 times one night. I didn't want to give her money because I didn't want her to ...

... drinks beer and whiskey and goes to bed in the early hours.... awesome!<br><br>Don Det is beatiful.. another place that I'm glad I visited during low season as I think it would lose it's appeal in the high season.... geared up for tourists but not too touristy.... no mains electricity, just generators running in the evening.... the locals seem to begrudgingly live side-by-side with the tourists... they're all friendly but it's so funny... they just want to sleep all afternoon ...

... of which were from Angkor Wat and brought to the museum to be preserved. The museum was layed out nicely with some impressive artifacts, but having not been to Angkor Wat yet, I had a tough time connecting with what I saw. <br><br>While the morning could be characterized as pleasure tourism the afternoon and next morning were anything but that. We went to the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum in the afternoon and the next morning we went to the ...

... of at several times to do the guys shopping.<br><br>Since we was driving into Phnom Penh I had a chance to see the city properly and I must say I was quite impressed. Some parts of the city was quite modern and developed. The areas where there was trees and grass planted there was no dust. But in areas where there was none then it was a dusty. I eventually arrived at the Indochine Hotel, the journey time was 3 hours 40 minutes. I booked a double room for ...
