2006-10-16, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. By: aw80sa | | So we're in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. It was a long bus ride from Siem Reap, filled with cock fights on the side of the road, flooded villages, and insane driving. It wasn't half as bad as ... |

2006-09-30, Siem Reap, Cambodia. By: tamtam31 | | We had to be packed and ready to leave pretty early this morning. The bus ride from Siem Reap to Bangkok is infamous for being closer to a leftover mine field than an actual road. The total journey ... |

 | the longest day EVER
2006-09-28, Siem Reap, Cambodia. By: tamtam31 | | I groaned when the alarm went off at 4:25am this morning. We were to wake up and photograph Angkor Wat during sunrise, which meant we had to be on the road by 5am. Catherine, Natalie and I all wante... |

2006-09-25, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. By: tamtam31 | | I'm not exactly sure why, but I've had problems sleeping this entire vacation. I haven't slept more than six hours in a row, ever; usually I'll wake up after around five hours and be wide awake. Tod... |

2006-08-14, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. By: juria | | I wake up refreshed and hungry, ravishing hungry. Run downstairs and gulp down a greasy omelet with the freshest baguette ever. All the grease and carbs will come in handy later since we’ve got a jam-... |

2006-08-13, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. By: juria | | We squeeze past outstretched hands and amputees. One man even shoving his stump in our way so as to get our attention. He looks older, maybe in his forties. Immediately I wonder where he was during Po... |

2006-08-13, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. By: juria | | I am on my way to the Choeung Ek Killing Fields. What started out as a sunny day persists to turn into gloom and darkness as inky clouds fill the skies.
