We needed a tripod...
Cambodia smells of sandalwood and mosquito incense coils; as it is the dry season, it smells of dust. We just arrived in Sihanoukville from Siem Reap and the famous Angkor temples. I'll get back to that some other time. (They are incredibly amazing. That is all for now.) Sihanoukville is a sleepy beach town that ex-pats get sucked into for months. There's all kinds of delicious western food we can't find in China, and boat rides out to untouched islands. Our room faces the beach and the bed rests under a pink mosquito net (that barely keeps them at bay.) Tomorrow we're staying at an island with nothing on it except our houses on stilts and a few lonely hammocks. I'll drink a whole coconut for you all...more details to come. Much love and good things.
