Lost Together

We spent just under a week in Cambodia. After an overnight, 22 hour journey from Northern Thailand we made it to Siem Reap, home to Angkor Wat. The temples were stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed bicycling though the vast complex.

From there, we made our way to the capitol city of Phnom Phen. We met up with a Canadian we had met in Bangkok and he introduced us to a little community of expats (mostly teaching english). At the killing fields and S-21 museum, we were shocked to learn what the country had been through in the late 1970's. The picture of the tower-like structure is a monument to all the Cambodians who were killed during the genocide and it is actually full of 8000 skulls. We ate omelette's on baguettes with Cambodian coffee (we loved the french influence!) every morning at Veasna's litte restaurant near our hotel. He enlightened us more on life in Cambodia and we had a great time talking to him. He is definitely one of the nicest people we have met.
