Look at me, I'm in Cambodia
First thing, I'd like to say that Cambodia is like no other country I've visited. It's not even that similar to Thailand. It's the poorest country I've ever visited, but it has been amazing so far. We arrived in the capital of Phnom Penh on Sunday, did all that depressing stuff like visit the Killing Fields and the Genocide museum and then took a very, very long ferry ride to Siem Reap, where one of the world's wonders and world heritage sites exists--Angkor Wat. Apparently Tomb Raidor was filmed there. We've been in Siemp Reap for 2 days and are heading down to the south to the town of Sihanoukville to catch some much needed skin toasted sun rays and relax.
I've have so much to write about, but I'll have to write in more detail at a later point.
We went to Angkor Wat today and it was amazing. Ever been to see the pyramids in Mexico? Well, it's like that but cooler because you can actually go inside, versus just climbing to the top. It was really hot but I was wearing my new Peace Corps Addidas hiking shoes that I got in Thailand for $25. And no, they're not knock-offs.
On another note, yesterday was Valentines day and we spent the evening in town having dinner drinks (many potent and cheap $2.50 cocktails). Also, my sandal broke in Phnom Pehn on the way to dinner. We had to purchase superglue to fix it. It broke again last night. I think they are dead. Goodbye sandals.
Stay tuned.
