Cambodia in Retrospect





Wanna know about Cambodia, Phnom Penh and Angkor Wat? Ask me! haha In case you are not aware, i lived in Cambodia for FIVE years *gasp! i still find it hard to believe* Frankly i didn't really feel very excited living there then, *sigh, I should... but strangely i am now excited in retrospect* but mind you, except me, everybody else that i know finds it heaven and i am telling you the truth! Cambodia is liken to Malaysia in 60s if not better then. Many elders feel like they have gone back to old times and reborn. I would, from now on, sometimes write about Khmer people, food and places whichever and whenever the glimpse of Cambodia flashes through my mind. For few reasons, i start looking back my past five-year-life there. I start missing you lovely Cambodians, *i do...*

我在柬埔寨生活了整五年。这年里当然有不少值得回味的时刻,所以乘这些回忆还没消失前,让我把捉到点滴不时化成文字抄下来。柬埔寨就像60年代的马来西亚,所以对一些稍年长的人会有仿佛回到过去的感觉,生命仿佛有从来一次错觉,他们很兴奋地向我形容着他们的天堂。
突然会去回忆金边的时光背后是有好几个理由的。既然理由都已经象沙爹串了起来,那我就来个一箭两三雕好了,像吃沙爹一样慢慢回味我以前在那黄金五年里给留下的痕迹。。。

Thanks.
You could always go backpack alone. It's fun backpacking and make travel friends from different part of the world. This is especially easy and fun in Cambodia. You don't need a crowd, 2 is advisable and should safe to cruise in the kingdom.

Yeah you guys should go, least to Angkor Wat. But mind you guys, Cambodia is a place more about experiencing poor and simple. Got to set the interest and expectation right.
