Cambodia

We arrived in Cambodia this afternoon after a day of driving, the van and bus were pretty comfortable though so I napped and it didn’t really seem like a long drive.  We hit a long line at Thai immigration and then walked through no man’s land where there are a few casinos (gambling is illegal in Cambodia and Thailand). 

We stopped at a Silk Farm on the way to Siem Reap, it was fascinating how they make the silk, especially how they dye the thread in patterns before weaving.  I still don’t understand how they get it to all line up!


Siem Reap is nice.  We took a tuk tuk to town for dinner and a Cambodian dance show and walked around the night market, which is upscale touristy with a bunch of nice artwork as well as the usual bags, clothes, etc..
