And now, Cambodia from Eva's perspective:

Part I, Sihanoukville.

"$1 for moto ride, $2 for two"
"$1 !!!!! for going 2 km.......... How much we paid for water? "
"Gasoline is very ebansiv!" "Too Fa to wak!"
There are too many reasons that they want you to pay more. If I am in the mood of being a tourist contribing the local econimy, I will pay. However, while their eyes staring at Adam's big round eyes, thinking that this blonde haired pure white guy must have loads of money in his pocket. I always have to be the bad cop.
"No!! 2000 Riel (50 cents)" I said.
"Gasoline is very ebansiv........."
"Adam, let's go...." then I need to drag Adam away, walk slowly until they come back to us to take the business, as they always do. Better for a foreigner to pay a local price than to not get any money at all.

2. I love Sihanoukville's relaxing atmosphere. Even though the sea is not fantastic, the sky just so amazing blue everyday and the sunsets are brilliant and colorful.
