Spent almost 4 days of our 10-day vacation in Cambodia. Looking back, the pictures turned out really nice. It's a country that makes you feel privileged that you live in Manila. At the same time, one can't helped but be amazed that despite the appalling road conditions and signs of poverty everywhere - the country has the angkor wat complex.
Tourism being one of the sources of economic wealth - one gets to really interact with the locals. I think more than the sites - I remember the grouchy guest house owner, the tuk-tuk driver and the taxi mafia touts at the poi pet border. Everywhere you go, you just feel privileged that more than the sights, you get to see the dichotomy of things and these make you appreciate the people living there more.
