Cambodia Week 1

We ended up in an amazing country: It's all one big wetland! We hit the end of the rainy season and if it was one thing Cambodia has, it's water~ on the roads, in and under houses... you name it. We met up with Jana, who cheerfully toured with us on tuk-tuk, bus and motorcycle. We did mostly cheaper guesthouses, but splurged one night at the Foreign Coorespondents Club (FCC)~ you can see Miranda lounging on the bed there!

There were many monks wandering around, and beautiful temples, and the day we went to the secluded beach it poured literally buckets (I can't tell you how many they bailed out of the boat, or how long it seemed before we were rescued when we lost the prop, or how high the river was we followed up the hill, mostly wading in it). We still managed to enjoy the day though!
We were a little taken aback at the amount of begging and solicitation we encountered, we tried to buy some lunches and I have sworn off gambling after losing a tic tac toe to a 13 yr old girl from Vietnam (I don't want to go into it...). Beware tourists of the sneaky tic tac toe players, especially on the beach!
