Random Thoughts:
We found Cambodia to be kind of dirty. There was literally lots of trash on the side of the roads and throughout the country, not to mention that because of the time of year we were there, it was quite dusty and hot.
The people were friendly and nice. Surprisingly, and luckily since we had been warned, we were not overwhelmed by too many child beggars.
The videos shown on buses were HORRIBLE! It was Khmer music videos which included the same music played over and over with "dancers" making a few steps and doing some sort of hand waving thing.
