Enjoying ...
Hey Ted, This is Erin's friend Tracy, she sent me the link to your travel blog. Just wanted to let you know I'm really enjoying it. I started at the beginning and this is where I'm leaving off, for now. I have to go clean :( and prepare for a trip of our own ... NoLa for JazzFest! Stay safe, T

Nee How!
Eat any fish stomach or donkey coins yet? And how about the rice - notice any difference in the various countries that you have been too? See ya soon. Regards.

Thanks for your information

Philippines
Sadness - I would have liked to have shown you how much that country rocks. I'm biased of course. PS - "Filipinos"

Great to meet you
Hey Ted, It was great to bump into you on your travels through Vietnam, that was one memorable night in HCM with Linh and the rest of the crowd! Excellent blog, love your writing style - hope the rest of the trip went / is going well. I am back in the UK now so if ever you are passing through London do give me a shout. P

Pho for breakfast...
...best hangover cure. Ever. Yum, yum!! Happy trails :)

To be technical about it, there is no capital of England...
only of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So that was a trick question! As for eight year olds knowing capitals, I would be surprised it they knew their own capital; especially here in the US. Anyway, thanks for the detailed blog. That's great the tourist authorities recognize the rip offs at the border and are trying to do something about it. You mentioned the road to Siem Reap...has it been paved so there are no longer all the pot holes? Most people who visit Angkor Wat go into great detail about the temples, but you mostly talked about you encounter with the children. You seem to have a way with kids. Have you thought of volunteering for a month or so at an orphanage?

Tuol Sleng
Hi Ted: So glad you got to see Tuol Sleng. Absolutely horrifying. On another unrelated topic, when I was in Cambodia in 2009, while you could get Cambodian money, the ATMs gave you US dollars, so I never used anything but US$. BTW - I knew all the capitols. But I've never played Angry Birds! David

Quoteworthy
I like your statement - This place is more American than America. Hahaha. How true! Do you feel the same about China?

Day by day
