Continuous Heart Burn




From Koh Kong, I've written anything. Because I took the pace Cambodian ... hehehe. Judgement of 10 days Sihan oukville too long. A city not very interesting cultural perspective. Nothing else to do than screw around, eating, grilling and enjoying the belly of the sea We are Canadian / Quebecois seem quite tanned lie when people ask what country we come from. Cambodians still a bit puzzled by that explains our origins! Kampot is
is nice and safe (except for packs of dogs that compete in their territory all night ... ayayay, what décapitage This little town''''muddy when it rains and dusty otherwise remains sympathetic, a good place to begin to grow accustomed to the country before heading to the capital (Phnom Penh). Roads ... a road you say?
20 km from Kampot is the Bokor National Park on a mountain 1080 m above sea level. Several Khmer were killed during construction of the road to the summit which began in the early year s twenty. Today, the road is accessible by car but it is in very bad condition . Go hop on the pickups, to the ruins recent ... Was originally designed in 1943 a royal palace, the Palais Black ... it was white and decorated with ebony, with poximité is the house of the concubines. At the climax, we discover the ruins of a small community of French colonial built for luxury and the game: you can visit what remains of the Bokor Palace Grand (grand colonial hotel) casino and the old church . On the mountain, you can enjoy the cool climate and spectacular views of the jungle and the sea coast and can even see the island of Phu Quoc , delighted to Cambodia by the Vietnamese. It is said that King has moved from the time the casino and the old casino is now a hotel, since suicidal losers headed for the gulf for a leap into the jungle! There's nothing left here except qqs Khmer soldiers supposedly looking for landmines. History has made sure that the revolution and the battles with the Vietnamese destroyed almost everything. The energy here is special. Then a mini trek in the jungle, a boat trip on the river (river) whose water is renewed by changing seasons, the sea and the source of the mountain.

Detour Kep, it's worth it! A stop at the orphanage with the children laugh and give qqs clothes too. Then, the market, you eat a cast of seasoned crab with garlic and lemongrass or if you prefer, pepper fresh flavor of the region. Succulent. Short visit to the bat caves and cave elephants with young guides, a lovely time with the children who deserve qqs thousands riels for their guidance. On the road, the farmers harvest the rice and dry it in the sun. A stop to gas and observe a van full of live pigs, well packed in individual cages with straw.

Tomorrow ns leave for Phnom Penh . The holidays are approaching! I miss you: familia, friends and colleagues! Write to me, I'd hear from you and know a little about what happening at the other end! It seems you do not miss beautiful snow this year.
