I've been to Cambodia!

We're now in Southern Thailand on a warm beach, not missing the fact that it's super cold up in Canada! Although we will be there in less than 2 weeks. Our trip is almost over... :(

In our normal way of keeping up with our blog, we've been out of Cambodia for 6 days now but here are my impressions of our last country. Note that we've only been to the two major cities in Cambodia, so these things might not be true of the rest of the country.

1- The smell hit us like a dirty shovel the second we got on our tuk tuk to our hotel in Phnom Penh. It smells of crap in this city. Not everywhere, but every now and again, it will catch you off guard. It's better to practice shallow breathing to avoid the sour smells.

2- It's seems that everyone here speaks English very well. It's very easy to communicate with the locals and shop staff.

3- It reminds me much more of India than the rest of SE Asia. There's a lot of dirt on the road and there's lots of garbage on the streets. This was mostly the case in Phnom Penh and also because they just had finished their water festival.

4- The people are very smiley. It's hard to walk around this place without smiling because the people are so nice.

5- The tuk tuks here are trailers attached to standard 110cc motorbikes. Very different!

6- You can't walk down the streets without being asked if you want a moto or tuk tuk ride every 2 minutes.

That's it! We only spent a bit over 5 days in Cambodia so we didn't take it in as much as the other countries.
