THE TRIP
08:00-08:30 Day 2 of our temple tour and last day in Cambodia. Since yesterday’s tour was abruptly shortened due to my camera’s untimely but temporary death, I made sure that my battery is full and my camera’s memory is empty so we can capture every moment of another fun-filled day in store for us… and a free breakfast is a great way to start our day.

If you are a DIY person like me, preparing is usually an easy, if not enjoyable, task. You most likely know how to use the search engine efficiently so as to filter the sites that are useful for your trip. You may also have read several books that offer relevant information and details that are more extensive than online blogs and forums. For me, the internet is my most helpful tool as I am not the kind that will digest a place’s culture or history or way of life in a couple of days’ stay. But it doesn’t mean that I am not interested in their part of the world. So long as I can taste a little bit of their culture or know a little bit of their history or experience a little bit their way of life, I am more than satisfied with that.
