Cambodia, finding it a little bit…meh
‘Are we missing something?’ The two of us mused as we sipped coffee earlier today. Nearly all of our friends that we have met who have included Cambodia in their itineraries have ranted and raved about it’s ‘chilled out vibe’ and it’s ‘friendly people.’ Hmm…We haven’t veered far from the tourist trap, admitedly, but then neither had the majority of people who told us about this forgotten pearl of SE Asia. (You know, with the landmines and stuff.) Seriously, if anyone is reading this who can offer some insight, maybe something is eluding us both like if you walk on the left side of the street you only bump into drug dealing morons- for example, then we will gladly thank you for it as we’re sure the country has plenty to offer. Things staying as they are, I wouldn’t recommend the ‘Bodia one bit, although we have yet to visit the worlds largest religious temple of Ankor Wat, which I’m prety sure will change our opinion, at least on that part of the country.
Sorry to grumble, but that’s what I do.
Also, I was a full flung vegetarian for an entire month. Not anymore though.

maybe it’s so chill if you go there first? maybe if it’s at the end of your mega chill out trip it’s not such a big deal? been there done that?
possibly, possibly, although we were in Vietnam before Cambodia and that wasn’t set to the most relaxing pace, thankfully this isn’t the end of our trip, still got just under 9 months left in the ol’girl yet!
maybe it’s more of a ‘feeling’ place than a ‘doing’ place? Oh I don”t know do I? Thanks for the response though.
