It's 11:30 a.m. local time on Saturday, November 29, here in Siem Reap. We're leaving for the airport in an hour and a half. Luckily, we're flying back to Paris via Kuala Lumpar because most of the flights via Bangkok have been cancelled, and lots of the foreigners in this cybercafe are using the Internet and Skype to try and rearrange their travel plans.
I've had a marvelous time in Cambodia. This past week was fantastic, what with the Angkor Archaeological Park and the competence of our guide. As for the first week, it was very interesting, too, esp. from a humanitarian point of view. Probably what I'll remember most, though, is the kindness and the "resilience" of the Cambodian people.
The end of a good trip is always a bit sad, particularly as I know I'm going back to the cold and grey of Paris!
My thanks to all of you who have followed my travels and a special thanks to those who have sent me messages or made comments.

Thanks for sharing
your trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. What a trip - photos are great and especially enjoyed the extra information about cooking, schools, crafts, etc. We had 14 to Thanksgiving here in California - hope to see you here soon!
