Jungle type fauna right up to the beach.

Rented a scooter and saw the town a bit.

Cambodia - Phenom Phen

7.29.08

The road down was six hours by bus.
At a stop along the way
people were selling bbq'd tarantulas.
No, I didn't try one.

On the ride, there was a tv playing Cambodian karaoke
and Chinese films with dubbed in Cambodian.
Hideously bad. I'm convinced
that one girl did the voices for all the different girls in the movies.

Phenom Phen is a city like many others,
but poorer. We only stayed a night.
We saw the killing fields
and on the way back saw a huge hog
cross the road with no fear of traffic whatsoever.
Ballsy.

More fantastic food.

Cambodia - Siem Reap

7.29.07

Siem Reap.
Clean air and the healthiest blue skies i've ever seen.
Temples.... amazing.
Sun... deadly during the heat of the day.
Landscape... think Vietnam war movies.

Our tuk-tuk driver was a good human,
and helped us get between the temples
and to some good buildings to eat at.

Cambodian food is fantastic.
Fantastic.

Only bummer was that the camera broke,
but given the surroundings,
and another camera i was able to buy locally that night,
it was taken pretty well in stride for me.
A shame, though was that 2 of the coolest temples are not on my film...
