Cambodia

Merry Christmas.
About a week ago we crossed the border from Thailand into Cambodia and immediately we could notice a difference. Cambodia is much less developed and there are many landmine victims. The public transportation is very interesting also as the roads are an extremly bumpy mixture of dirt, rocks and big holes. Also one of our buses broke down on the side of the road last week. However we have been having a great time with many new expereinces. Last week we seen Angkor Wat which was incredible, its one of the wonders of the world I was told and probably the best architectural structure I have ever seen. Also last week we went out for supper one night and ended up eating some Kangaroo and Crocidile meat.

For christmas Brent and I decided to go all out and get a super nice hotel room where we are treated like kings, have hot water, no bed bugs, ac and even a tv. We spent christmas day relaxing by the ocean and playing frisbee with some cambodian kids and a middle age speedo clad french man who loved diving for the frisbee. I purposely through it away from him so he would chase it and dive for it, it was extremely funny. Tomorrow we are doing a little boat cruise to some island where we can do some cliff jumping or something. Happy Holidays.
