Best & Worst, Cambodia


We're having some trouble figuring out what this sign means... we would love to hear your thoughts! It was a large billboard outside of a high school.

Fancy round-about in Phnom Penh- there's a story about this... but we forgot what it is!

Must take your shoes off before entering the hotel, Wats, and temples
(and any other place they tell you to take them off!)

Royal Palace, Phnom Penh

a Wat in Battambang


Best
  • Our friends/traveling group were with us!
  • Friendly people; The Cambodian people were INCREDIBLY friendly, kind, and grateful for our business. 
  • Exchange rate; Not only was the exchange rate in our favor, but they accepted USD everywhere!
  • Phnom Penh; S-21 site, developed riverfront, and the Royal Palace
  • Siem Reap; Angkor Wat (Bayon was our favorite ruin), biking around the city, and our guides; Yin (our tuk-tuk driver) and Sim (our Angkor Wat guide).

Worst
  • Malaria exists in parts of Cambodia, requiring us to take Malaria tablets for 4 weeks. Unfortunately, the tablets are very strong and make Marisa ill.
  • Boat ride to Battambang; long, hot, and uncomfortable
  • The visa for Cambodia costs $25, $20 for the visa and $5 for the customs agent

  1. I have no idea what the sign says. Those are all depictions of people in terrible conditions and of course the first words on the sign are "US AID".
