More on Cambodia visit




A few more pictures from the Cambodia road trip.
Three of the Vietnames police and I standing on the unfinished bridge from Viet Nam to Cambodia. The view of Viet Nam from Cambodia (note the huge sign in Cambodian. Not a clue what it says). The gang of Vietnamese police, Cambodian border police, and the lone Canadian - and this was pretty cool - no guns, no rules, just lots of smiles and handshakes and posing for everyone who had a camera, which meant everyone from our group.
The thatch sided house on stilts is a fair representation of what you see in the poorer rural areas we went through on the way to the border. The government is gradually building newer homes to move residents out of these conditions. We went by rows and rows of these new homes that were no larger than than the old ones, but better constructed and with access to water and power.
In Hanoi now for the final stretch of this trip. Four weeks, fifteen hotels, Canada - USA - Korea - Singapore - United Arab Emiraes - Viet Nam - Cambodia, and home again via Singapore and Korea.
