Happy Holiday in Cambodia
Hi Laura, Thank you for visiting Cambodia and hope you had a great time. Please come again! My wife and I are planning to retire in Cambodia next year...after living in Twin Cities, Minnesota for the last 31 years. We are thinking about helping the orphanage centers or the others. All the best! Theary St Paul, Minnesota
