Cambodia to me on a whole is off the beaten path! So anything else is a wow for me. I'm dying to get over to that part of the world. I know practically nothing about it and can't wait to make my way over there! You know what’s funny. Cambodia to me on a whole is off the beaten path! So anything else is a wow for me.

I’m dying to get over to that part of the world. I know practically nothing about it and can’t wait to make my way over there!

The government rarely looks past the short term monetary gains to be had by selling off their own country. While it's a beautiful country Cambodia is also a picture of Corporate, Government and even personal greed, it's sad and makes you wonder where things are going in the next 20-50 years.

I saw Cambodia as a great chance to go off the beaten track of Siem Reap/Phnom Penh and it paid off. My tour guide in Battambang invited me to dinner at his home with 8 kids, twice, and told me his personal story of surviving the Khmer Rouge years. Then I really pushed it and went all the way to Ratanakiri - my minivans on the dirt road section broke down both times - on the way there AND the way back. lol But once there, I got to see some nice waterfalls, do a day trip by 4x4/boat to some ethnic villages, and go for a swim in a beautiful volcano crater lake. Sadly, my moto guide said there were plans to put a 5-star hotel/resort on the edge of the lake, which is currently completely undeveloped. I posted a few photos on my blog of it - http://www.gobackpacking.com/Blog/2008/09/28/swimming-in-a-volcanos-crater-lake/ Great article!
