I just arrived after a 12 hour “VIP” bus ride from Sihanoukville up to Siem Reap. Next up will be visits to Angkor Wat but for now I’m going to relax in my hotel for a couple days.

I’ve been really enjoying some of the food here in Cambodia. Their western food is also quite good. Last night, [...]
I’ve got a song stuck in my head that just won’t go away, it’s called, “Holiday In Cambodia” by the Dead Kennedy’s. It’s lodged in my head because I just left Laos and flew in to the capital city of Phnom Penh.
Viantiane, Laos was a wonderful, relaxing and peaceful city to “take it all in” but it was [...]
Well my last day in Luang Prabang was spent with my traveling friend Myrna. After we enjoyed a fantastic french-inspired Laotian breakfast, she rented bikes for us to go riding around the city, and we did. I think both of us worked up a real sweat but neither of us seemed to mind too much. We [...]
Today, I booked a group tour that turned out to be absolutely fantastic. I departed in a minibus with 3 new friends on a 45 minute drive to a Hmong village where we walked around and got to see local villagers and their way of life. It was quite beautiful and sad at the same [...]
