These pictures are from my camera so there are only a few. They go from the Mekong Delta, Vietnam; to Phu Quoc Island Vietnam; to Phnom Penh, Cambodia; to Kampot, Cambodia; to Siem Reap, Cambodia; to the last one of some fruit in Bangkok.
There will be heaps more photos from Meg's camera and you'll probably see the same sequence of places with different and better pics.

sweet
getting my first strait blade shave in Kampot, Cambodia. It was quite comfortable and the closest cleanest shave i've ever had. The down side was it cost nearly $.25 cents.
Cambodian border
These poor guys were the ones Meg paid to carry her bags and souvenirs from from Cambodia to Thailand. Usually i have to do it by myself.
