Cambodge

---

We arrive in Siem Reap after a long, dusty day haggling for taxis and sneaking around at the border to try and get cheaper transport. In the end we managed to get a cab with two Swedish guys. The journey was hell on the worst road in the world.

Jocke and Jhamfoy stayed at the same hostel as us in Siem Reap so we got into some of the local brew and sampled the best of Northern Cambodian nightlife. Our room was so cheap, it even came with a shared bathroom that doubled as a mosquitoes nest.

We started our Cambodian education with a trip to the land-mine museum that a local fella has set up to raise funds for de-mining the countryside. Amazing stuff- and great to see someone getting it done without fuss.

In case our temple exploring in India was becoming too distant a memory, Angkor did the trick. There are loads of temples everywhere in Cambodia and the remnants of the Angkor city top them all. We only managed one day of touring- but we were still stiff the next day!

For the rest of our time here we decided to buy a few of books about the khmer Rouge off the local kids and read them all day with a beer.

Dust
Anybody? No? Dust...

Cool Swedes
These guys were well cool, and they won at pool!

Jocke. Finished?
No Swedish.

Mr Aki Ra
This dude goes round diffusing loads of mines with his team (100 a day!) and pays them $30 a month. The US land mine association charges $1000 per mine for their team.

Mines!
Loads of land mines.

Book boys
These little guys sell books to help support their families and pay for school.

Angkor Wat?
This temple is a beast! The biggest religious building.

Crazy steep steps!
These are terrifying.

Ta Phrom
This temple has loads of trees growing on it.
