Cambodia Pictures

The border between Laos and Cambodia. To cross it you had to walk about 200 m between the border officials stations for both countries. Right after the picture was taken, I turned around and went to the bathroom almost right where I was standing. Bathrooms were scarse.


I was in Cambodia for 15 days. I started in Phnom Penh, then hit the temples at Siem Reap and then the beaches at Sihanoukville.

A view of Phnom Penh.

To answer your question . . . . . about 40 mph.

You thought your commute sucked. Check out the van in the back.

Phnom Penh sunset.

Things you cant bring into a club in Phnom Penh. The sign was not reassuring. But I did have to get patted down before I went into the 'Heart of Darkness' club.

I saw this on my way to Siem Reap. The bucket on the left are the live tarantulas and the one on the right are the fried ones.

I have a couple hundred photos of the temples from the three days I was there. And none will do them justice. They were just huge and impressive. Awesome is the only word that does them justice. Angkor Wat below.

Ta Prohm. Tomb Raider was filmed at this one. It was funny; I was standing next to a Korean tour group getting an explanation. And all I heard was (Korean) (Korean) ANGELINA JOLIE (Korean) (Korean) And then a bunch of 'Ooohs.'

Ragna and our driver for the three days at the temples. One night he took us to an all Khmer club. It was pretty interesting. The beer was served with ice.

The beaches on the Southern Coast: Sihanoukville.

Vietnam

Right now Im in Saigon. Ive really been enjoying my time here. There are 4 million motor bikes in the city. To cross the street you have to just walk into the road and let them go around you. Its a bit of a leap of faith.

Ive been enjoying the Cafes, Bakeries and Pastries the French left behind.

Tomorrow morning Ill head North.

Me in the Mekhong Delta.

A riddle.

What is bigger then a coconut, smaller then a motor bike and costs less then $14 to shoot 10 rounds from in Vietnam? . . . . . . . . An AK-47.

I had the chance to shoot one in Cambodia and throw a Grenade as well but the time was never right. The one range in Phnom Penh was right next to the Killing Fields and the one in Siem Reap was right next to the Land Mine museum. Looking at photos of Genocide from the Khmer Rouge and watching films about UXO, a majority of which were American, hurting thousands of civilians never really put me in the mood. But after going to the War Remnants Museum and the Gu Chi Tunnels and listening to all the Vietnamese Propaganda about the war I had found the right moment.
