Hi Everyone, I arrived in Cambodia from Bangkok and immediately had one of those 'travelling' experiences, a girl who had sat in the same row as me on the plane had arrived without enough money for the Entrance Visa, we got chatting, I loaned her the $US and she gave me Euro's in return, nothing remarkable in that I hear you say, well no there wasn't but we then shared a taxi which Chris had already arranged and travelled into Phnom Penh together.
