cam-boh-dee-uh

after a gritty 6 hour bus ride from siem reap, cath and i arrived in phnom penh, the capital of Cambodia, this afternoon. our tuk-tuk driver drove us to about 6 different hotels/hostels before we settled on one that's right on the river, quite convenient to the bars and restaurants.

cambodia - the country and the people- has been lovely. the temples, of which angkor wat is the most famous, are worthy of the hype. we spent 2 days exploring the different temples with peah, our guide and de-facto photographer.

interesting factoid: siem reap, the city of angkor what, literally means "defeat of the thais" .. many of the temples were built to honor the gods after winning this battle.

i included some pics so you don't forget what we look like.
