It's been a while since I posted my last blog, my apologies to all those regular readers who have been anxiously awaiting word about my travels. I believe my last blog was posted the night before I went to Ankor Wat, so maybe that is a good place to start this one off. I woke up at about 8 and hired a tuk-tuk driver to take me around Angkor Wat for the day. I think I arrived at the temple compl... Read Full Entry

I stayed right on the lake in Phomn Pen. Probably my favorite backpacking district in South East Asia.

A killing field. And this beautiful tree was where babies were smashed against until they died.

Honestly, this gives you an idea of how bad this place was.

I found this room the most intriguing as it contained photos of many of the prisoners. Why they documented them, I am not too sure, but I found it amazing to see the different faces each one expressed at their prediciment.

ahaha the Heart of Darkness... we went there too, why does everyone go there? I found it to be neither dark, or comically amusing as the name implies. As for Angkor, I also agree its a bit hyped up, theres only so many temples you can stand to look at. We were also done by the first half of the first day, in my opinion anyone who spends three whole days there is pretty hardcore. Well, keep on writing, I'm enjoying the blog. Oh and by the way, you didn't miss anything at Sihanoukeville, believe me

Where's that picture that you said you'd post, huh??? I need pics! Ha ha jk. I like how you use my message board for your own means. Funny how you couldn't remember Lance's name until he mentioned to me how he partied with you in Bangkok! I might meet up with Bart tomorrow at the airport and chill with him for a few hours before he flies back to BarTcelona. I'm going to Chaing Mai in the next few days as well! I guess I should take your advice and look into some Lonely Planets for Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam and shit. Umm.. GO TO MALAYSIA! I know you've been "meh" about it but it really is cool to see. The rainforests are awesome. Much colder than Thailand but whatever good shit. Pretty cheap too... well average ha ha. Take care, you're cool!
