Writing from Phnom Phenh capital of Cambodia, just arrived from Siem Reap.

Crosssing the border was pretty straight forward from thailand. Quite different here, bit poorer and very flat, only seen half a dozen hills, but the people are much the same, very friendly and everyone puts their religion and family life before anything else. Food is real good and already tasted two of the classic dishes, AMOK and Khmer curry both so tasty.

Spent a day around the 260 odd temples at Angkor, too many photos to upload. Only got into the place and we were feeding monkeys some nut things and one jamp on me head, stole my hat and ran up the tree with it. I thought it was gone forever but one of the locals climbed the tree after it started shaking the branches and shouting at it, a few minutes later and I had the hat back. It was a little chewed and alot smellier tho.

Was so many kids running about the temples trying to sell postcards, homemade things and water continually shouting 'please mister, two flutes one dollar...one dollar...one dollar....two flutes one dollar...one dollar'and so onfor the whole day!

Angkor Wat was the most impressive of all, took tens of years to build and hundreds of thousands of people. Also seen the one which Tomb Raider and Indiana were filmed in. Photos should go up sometime in the next week if we get a chance.

Rained for first time when we were at temples, was quite nice but was tropical rain for an hour or so. Climbed a hill to another temple to watch the sun set but clouds closed in and wasnt such a scenic sunset!

Tuk tuks are quite different to Bangkok, basicaly a cart attached to a motorkie/scooter, and as we found out if you overload them they can buckle quite easily. Jumping on the back of a motorbike is also a popular way of getting about, especially when you can fit 4 folk onto one!

Plenty more stories of pole dancing, tom cruise style barmen, fish that eat your feet and giant centipedes, spiders and lizrds but will have to wait for another time, going to Cambodias killing field now.
