I had limited knowledge about Cambodia and after reading this latest entry I have a better indication of the country, from your perspective and even their own! They have such a tragic history, so I was a little sad to read the facts and see the images. The volunteer work is a great initiative and I know when we were in Ecuador and Peru they had similar programs that you could do. The fact that you mentioned that people are always trying to sell you something in Cambodia reminded me strongly of Peru, as it's much the same due to the poverty level (I believe). Going to Ecuador, I expected to get much of the same thing but unlike Peru we never had anyone approach us to sell anything and we noticed the economic differences almost immediately. Thanks for the valuable read once again! I can't wait to read up more from your adventures! Take care! Love, all your family back home Woah what an informative and compelling read!
