Why Can’t They Ask First?
Most days, I love shopping even if I’m not looking to buy and I’m just window shopping. It helps me relax and takes my mind off more pressing matters.

After three days of scrambling over the ruins of Angkor’s ancient temples we set off on the next leg of our journey through Cambodia.
We decided to continue our journey through Cambodia by land, despite having a rather rough entry into the country at the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border crossing. Land borders always make the best travel stories. [...]
