        We only stayed in Bangkok a few nights. Our intention was to do some sight seeing, but it never really happened. We did some shopping, but that was really it. Our last night in the hotel, we had trouble sleeping anyway, but at 1am, the toilet started bubbling. When it wouldn't stop, Joe wen

      • Day Three of Temples
        08/18/11
        For our last day, we spent about three hours in Angkor Wat. The views from the top were amazing. Out the west gate were a number of monkeys which we watched for a bit. After walking around and having lunch, we walked around the third enclosure which is covered with bas-reliefs telling different s

      • Day Two of Temples
        08/16/11
        The second day we left at about the same time, which was around 9am and headed towards Banteay Srei, which is about 35km outside of town. Along the way we stopped at Pre Rup which was a neat temple. Most of them aren't too big, so we spend just under an hour exploring them.

      • Day One of Temple Exploration
        08/15/11
        We left Phnom Penh and took the bus for about 6 hours to Siem Reap. One we found a hotel we did some research to decide where to go and what to do. The next day began our first day of visiting temples.

        There are a few different ways to get around, but we chose tuk-tuk. Basically you fi

      • The Killing Fields
        08/13/11
        In April of 1975 the Khmer Rouge defeated the Lon Nol Government and took over the capital city of Phnom Penh. People were immediately forced to abandon their homes and walk for days to other villages where they were to live and work. Many atrocities happened during the 4 years the Khmer Rouge con

      • Phnom Penh
        08/11/11
        We took a 9am bus heading to Phnom Penh so we would get there with enough time to find a place to stay. We made to within 30km of the city when the bus pulled over and stopped. After about half an hour of messing with it, the bus driver finally got it started again and off we went. We were in the

      • 4000 Islands and into Cambodia
        08/10/11
        Turns out there was a bowling alley in Pakse. Joe was all excited to check it out, so we did. They had bowling shoes and everything. Haha. The screens even did the little video shorts for strikes and spares and such. So funny. Anyway, we left Pakse the next morning and headed for the 4000 isla

      • Vientiane
        08/05/11
        We were scheduled to take the afternoon bus to Vientiane, so we spent the morning going for a walk after breakfast. Joe knew where a cave was within walking distance that he wanted to check out.

        We got to the trail to the cave only to find that we had to pay 10,000 kip per person and wal

      • Vang Vieng
        08/02/11
        We left Luang Prabang on Sunday. We took a 'VIP' bus. The trip was supposed to take 6 hours. The road was not exactly what we would normally consider a 'main drag'... It was small and very windy, going through the mountains. The scenery was definitely gorgeous though. Drivi
