My last day in Phnom Penh was spent wandering around some Angkor Era temples located about 30kms outside of Phnom Penh. It was a wonderful experience, as there were a total of 4 tourists there.

I ate a lot of spring rolls in Asia (A LOT). I ate these in the Mekong Delta. It was the only time they’ve ever looked like this. And they were beyond fantastic. I don’t know the name of the restaurant, nor even the town I was in but if you are ever in a [...]
I took a 3 day tour of the Mekong Delta. It was very interesting to see such an alternative, yet still very Vietnamese lifestyle. Tweet This Post
