Hi to everyone.Hot on the heels of Zoe's blog uploaded 2 nights ago here I am bringing you up to date in Cambodia.Last you heard we were in no-man's land between Laos and Cambodia. Well, as we walked towards the barrier to enter Cambodia we were shepherded over to a medical check point and asked to produce our proof of yellow fever vaccination - Zoe and I had our booklets so we were waved through, but the others didn't. Not to worry, a corruption tax of $1 fixed ...

Our afternoon and evening in Mae Sot was very uneve...
