Nice one, Amy. I visited Cambodia in 2009.
I had a great time on my travels through SEA.
I must say one of the highlights was the city of Ankgor.
But something which I also find inescapable about Cambodia, is this apparent inability for the locals to escape the poverty some of them still live in.
You did say you would follow up with the other, perhaps less glamorous, romantic side of the story. I'll look forward to hearing/reading your thoughts because .... there are a growing number of people who are cottoning on to exactly why 3rd world countries are not transitioning in terms of economic growth and stability as much as one might hope.
Thanks for taking the time to comment @jimmo! It sure is a beautiful and great country with the most loving and creative people I have met! Unfortunately, sometimes it pushes you to go in survival mode (like having no tap water for 2 months) and makes you see things you rather didn't wanna see... but hey the positive far outweigh the negatives. More about that in a future post. But first I'm tackling the posts about location independence!
Nice.
