Cambodia

We arrived in Cambodia at around 4pm today. It was a one hour flight from Bangkok. I had a great time in Bangkok. Yesterday we went to a floating market an hour outside of downtown Bangkok. It was very interesting. We hired two small boats which drove us through many small canals loaded with vendors selling everything from fruit to wooden carvings. There was even a man offering pictures with a huge boa constricter. The canals were loaded with other people shopping and sight seeing. Tomorrow we are off to the killing fields of Cambodia where millions of people were executed between the late 1960's and 1977. We are also going to see a place which was very similar to the Nazi concentration camps, also operated during the 70's. It is very hot and humid here, but we are in a nice hotel with air conditioning. We will be spending roughly eight days here, in Cambodia, before moving on to Vietnam.

Talk to you soon,
Chris
