So I may have been a little harsh on my comments about Cambodia. It's a little rough around the edges and right now I need some place easy. I was also quite lonely at the time of the last entry, missing the company of the people I met in Laos. I'm a moody bastard when I get lonely.
Besides Angkor Wat and the other surrounding temples and the horrible history of the Khymer Rouge, I haven't found much to keep my interests here. This is why I'm yet again shelling out more money than I should to return to Thailand to meet up with Gareth, Steve, Hans and Sara for the upcoming full moon party on Koh Pha Ngan. These four people along with Nicole, Nir and Pete were the group I was with for most of the time in Laos.
I think if I had seen Cambodia earlier on in the trip (before India) I might appreciate it a bit more. People do seem to like it here. It is a bit unrefined and I guess would seem like an adventure, but it lacks the excitement of being in a crazy place (like India). I know I shouldn't compare countries. When I come back to south east asia, I'll check out the southern part of Cambodia. It might be nicer down there.
Here's a little info on my mates.
Gareth and Steve are English, Hans and Sara (father and daughter) are Dutch, Nicole is Swiss, Nir is the coolest Israeli you'll ever meet, and Pete is the friendly Kiwi.
