Shout out to my Aunt Paulette for it was her birthday on Sunday, Nov 8th when we arrived in Sihanoukville. We arrived in Sihanoukville on the overnight bus around 5:30am. The cost was $20 per person, not bad for 10 hour ride. We got off the bus and all 20-30 of us were swarmed by Tuk Tuk drivers wanting to take us to a hostel or hotel. We didn't have a reservation as it seemed most of the others on the bus didn't either. After getting our bags we negotiated the ride from $4 down to $2, sometimes Asia is tiring in that you have to negotiate everything or you will be robbed of hard earned money. Pete had researched the Lonely Planet book to find which of the 5 beach areas we wanted to stay ... read more

Here are some more videos from our trip including the elephant ride and Ta Prohm temple (where Tomb Raider was filmed with Angelina Jolie). We had such a great time in Siem Reap and if you ever get a chance to go you should. It is a life experience you will never forget. ... read more

We decided to go to Cambodia the cheaper way from Shenzhen only $250 USD roundtrip from Shenzhen to Bangkok(3hr flight). Other option was to fly from Hong Kong to Siem Reap or Phnom Penh, but we both flew cheaper than what the cost of one ticket would have been direct to Cambodia. We flew from Shenzhen, China at 11:20pm on Nov. 3rd to Bangkok, Thailand arrived around 1:40am on Nov. 4th, got through customs and exchanged money by 3am, in a taxi to the Morchit Bus Terminal by 3:05am, boarded the 3:30am bus(freezing from the AC) to Aranyaprathet, Thailand/Poipet, Cambodia border crossing, arrived at 7:40am and crossed into Cambodia by 8:30am. What a crazy night and not a lot of good sleep. Many travel blogs advised this is a SHADY area and to be aware, so ... read more

We survived our first Halloween in China. It sure did feel different since China doesn't really celebrate China at all. Here are a few pictures from our night out at NYPD a pizza joint in Futian, central part of Shenzhen. NYPD is owned by Thompson, Chinese-American, who is from San Fran, CA. Pete was very excited to speak to him about owning a business in China. Thompson said this year the rules changed and a foreigner can own a business in Shenzhen and gets tax breaks. Before this year you had to have a Chinese National be part owner, which seemed risky. We missed Staci and Martin for they were on a free trip to Hangzhou with their school. Also, Jimmy and Cali were in Hong Kong for the weekend with Mary, Jimmy's sister, who is ... read more
