Notes: 5 countries in 3 weeks, Part 4

Cambodia

History at every step you take
Where the entrance fee in the contry (20 USD + 1USD the visa picture if you haven’t got a passport type one with you) is lower than the fee you need to pay at departure (25USD)…you might want to stay :)

Where there is no need to exchange money as you can pay everything with US dollars and you can even get US dollars at the cash machines.
Where the blend of history and foreign tourists can drive you crazy sometimes :)

Unde la aeroport sunt 7-9 ofiteri care dau din mana in mana pasaportul fiecarui turist; bag de seama ca te fac sa te simti important :)

Where the rivers go back (Mekong) to fill in the land and change many lives.If you go to Siem Reap, take at least one journey to Tonle Sap lake to see the floating village and the bamboo skyscrapers village (15$/person each boat ride) and see as less temples as possible…and forget your photo camera at home, otherwise you will be more focused on taking pictures than enjoying the experience. A 3 days tour to Angkor Wat, the biggest religious complex in the world it’s 40 $. If you add the transport…it’s not going to be that cheap anymore.

Where a trip to the silk factory might remind you of childhood when you were a witness at the whole process…the smell took me back in time 20-25 years ago…

Where you can get lost in several sunrises at Angkor Wat Temple while your body and mind are celebrating the beauty of life, because, no matter what, you are among the lucky…

Where at karaoke, on the song list you can find the famous “Always Coca Cola” and the negotiation is the game of the day.

Where when your soul is burdened…go to the green temple and tell your secret to a stone. Your secret will be safe and your soul will be lighter…

Mind the…tuk tuk
