memoir of cambodia
i spent a week in two cities (Siem Reap and Phnom Penh) of Cambodia right after a one-month trip in Central Europe. it's quite a big contrast between two trips.
i've learnt a lot more from Cambodia indeed.
Cambodia is still one of the poorest countries in Asia, yet people there are very optimistic with strong pride and dignity. they are poor but they seem to be very happy. so they don't need your sympathy.
temples in Siem Reap are really beautiful and seductive. Angkor Wat is the most famous one but i love Ta Prohm and Bayon more.
anyway i am not sure how to tell by words, but i would highly recommend you to travel to Cambodia before the original taste fades out.
at least, i'm sure i will go again in the future.

I think I must know what you mean, I've been to parts of Asia like Sri Lanka or the poorer or less glamourous cities in China, and I'm not always sure what originally brought me there because the part I always remember most fondly is the strong spirit and optimism people can have.
They'll say that their country is changing and that the future will be bright despite the present, and you can't help but believe them.
cya, Tathei!
Reading your thoughts is always very interesting.
Until next time!
