Today we leave Cambodia and we will both be glad ... there is an atmosphere of "caution" here   ..you just arent sure .. Like when we were on our journey on the road... in the beginning the cab driver pulled over and gave this guy some money....  Amy and I didnt think too much of it ... but on reflection it seemed to be a "payoff" of some kind. for driving on the road??? dont know
Before our flight there was pne last site I wanted to see ...Amy was "all pagoded out" so I took a buggy drawn by a motorcycle instead of a bicycle and went tot see the Silver Pagoda, Jade budda and presidential palace.. The floor of the pagoda is made entirely of silver tiles and the budda is entirely made of jade ..all the statues had gems encrusted in them .. it was rather spectacular....the ground were beustiful.. there were a number buildings to explore but I had accomplished my goal.. We arrive back in Taichung in the late evening and slept in very nice soft beds that night ....
