Cambodia

uhmmmmm what can we say about Cambodia. It was very intense/challenge to say the least. We took a long bus ride from koh chang to the border, got ripped off by the tour company which (everyone does unfortunately), we crossed the border only to get scammed at the very shady currency exchange (the teller had a huge diamond ring on his pinky which should be an indication of what's to come...) then we waited 2hrs for a luxury bus(which is a mini bus from the 70s).

The bus didn't leave until the tour guys finished watching kickboxing. We rode 6 hrs on a dinky, dusty filled, non A/C luxury bus on a road which is unpaved the whole way. Again road is dust filled, with pot holes you could fit a mini cooper in. At one point, the bus swerved to avoid a women sleeping(?) on the middle of the road at night.

We stopped at a restaurant. Bugs swarming so thick that bugs kept landing on our dishes. We've never seen anything like it. At the end of our hell ride, we were brought to the inn conveniently run by the bus guide....uha. They pressured all passengers to stay at their inn since it was close to mid-night(they purposely arrive late at night to discourage people from looking at other places).

We finally arrived at our hotel after 12 hours of traveling hell, we finished off the night with a glass of cold beer at a nice guesthouse with no more hassling from shady tour guys. It was very eye-opening experience for both of us.
