Hey Krysta, I understand a bit about your comments on the povertyy. For me it was in Thailand. I took the typical tour on the long boat down the river to the market, somewhere outside Bankok. I was shocked at the filth of the river where they bathed, washed their food and went to the bathroom. I left twith the feeling that i would love to take these people back to Canada and show them our wonderful country. I can see from you pictures in pnom phen that you have seen poverty that is even worse. Your really realize how lucky we all are.
Wow Krysta, Cambodia sounds like a really amazing place moreso from your tales and pictures than anything else. I was really surprised, as you were, by the language on the you boy how insane. I think you mangaged to hit all the great sites of Cambodia, and managed to makes some really cool friends along the way, along with purchasinga flute: which I have to hear about some time. Dyasphoria, Modernity, those sound like University words, I guess you've still got it. You must be having the time of your life, keep it up. Oh yeah, all that bike riding in University is now paying off it seems eh.
take care,
Feroze
aqua Kryst: Sounds like the swimming and afternoons in the sun came at the perfect time. Interesting results when you were nice to the local children. Love you.

So much to see, so little time... Hi Krysta!
Angkor and Siem Reap is certainly worth a second or third visit, isn't it!? I remember being so overawed the first time... it is so HUGE!! I had to return for another go with my new Christmas digital camera to play with as well as proper mono film in my old film camera and did the highlights all over again.... about 2000 pics later...!
Quiet Siem Reap? Hi lovely, I suppose you're quite lucky. In the picture, it seems to me that you was at Angkor Wat in a less touristic season. I don't see many tourists. Was that the reality when you were there? When I was there in July 2004, it was packed with tourists! Love.
Let me be the First! Hi Krysta, I thought that I would take advantage of being the first one to send a comment to your latest Travelblog! It's interesting that the mother of that child wanted you to hold her baby! They must be very trusting people! And/or good judges of character! We look forward to your return! I just heard yesterday that Christmas was only 50 days away! And of course, we will see you in about 30! Can't wait! Sorry that the phone connection was so bad this morning! Hopefully next time it will be better! Thank goodness for email! Have fun for the next 30ish days!....and don't forget....BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!!!
Love,
Mommy

a whirlwind adventure My darling Krysta,
you are such a writer. Every blog I read, or every postcard I get from you, I am just captivated by your stories. You say you want to bring to life what you have read in text books and I appreciate you sharing these experiences with me. As I read the excellent and not so excellent aspects of your time in Pomn Peh (sorry for the spelling), I am just so proud of you!
I know you are having the experience of a lifetime and I can't wait to see your skinny butt in a month and a half. Take care, and miss you.

One lss fat lady in Saigon... Hi Krysta
Newsflash - Nicky had her little boy, named Tai, weighing in at 2.9kg on Tuesday night by Caesarian... he was 3 weeks early but doctors were a little worried about his heart rate slowing to 50bpm so they decided to bring him out early. Nicky is elated, handling the pain and enjoying her son... I have about 7 weeks to go and latest stats says she's already 2.5kg so I may have a whopper on the way!
Phirun emailed and said he enjoyed the evening out in Phnom Penh with you, and I sent him on your photos - is he on your blog list yet?
Glad to see you are still enjoying life on the road, though passport problem slowed you down a bit I guess... c'est la vie!
Enjoy yourself wherever you are!
its a rough one, but worth it! Hey there Krysta poo... i know Camodia is a rough visit, but it turned out to be my favourite place. It's really emotional to see all the poverty and brutalities that the Cambodian people have underwent, but on the positive side, they are lovely people who are coming into their own. We found the people very generous and kind. Angkor Wat was absolutely fantasic and I hope that you continue to have fun. Where the next stop for you?
Unfair "fates" I think history repeats itself again and again! The torturing or unfair "fates" that Cambodians suffered happen again and again even auntil today. But human beings don't seem to learn anything from it! Sad, isn't it?
Opposite direction Oh, I was from the opposite direction: PP-Mekong-Saigon then. But I suppose what we had seen were more or less the same. Of course, our experiences and the people we met were different.
Hey Krysta. Good to see you found some time to write another entry. I'm jealous that you're still over there having fun! Thanks for reminding me about your little mud slide - I almost forgot.
cool, wicked groovy! how jealous am i yet again?? what fun!! i am so so jealous!! well done you girl!! the toilet bit sounded odd but fun!! i guess you held it in!?!? hahaha!! have lots of fun in your next country!! good luck!!
I've finally finished my big Asian trip and have about 9 blogs left to write. So far I've covered Japan, Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, but stay tuned for Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, more Japan and London!
I'm just getting settled back into life in Canada now, so wait patiently for the last few blogs. Especially Myanmar...that was quite an 'interesting' couple weeks...
