As Always I hope all is well.
Well I can't believe that I have been in Vietnam for 2 months! Actually I have left Vietnam and I am in Cambodia - Phenam phen to be exact. I am leaving tomorrow for the South so i Thought I would get a quick blog off.
I will keep the text short but one observation of Phenam Phen is that there are a lot more cars to motobikes than anywhere else in Asia. Not just cars, but Lexus'. I have seen so many lexus LX470's which are 70,000+ cars. Most of these cars have VIP signs in the windows (probably over paid people working for NGOs) or police license plates. These aren't the Embassy people, they drive around in Mercedes .... These vehicles just stick out in such a poor country.
And my technical difficulties continue with one of my cameras/lenses not working (it's a long story). I will be in Cambodia probably for another three weeks and then i will head back to Thailand to finish my website which should have been finished a long time ago which is another long story.

Thanks for taking the time to read my TravelBlog. Originally from the Chicago area i received my BS from northern Illinois University and after graduating I started my "career" at Abbott Laboratories.
