Bangkok to Cambodia

Hi guys, looks like I might keep this blog up after tall. So, here is a little run down. We spent two nights in Bangkok, then overland to Cambodia, one night in Battambang, and 1 night (soon to be 2) in Seim Reip where Angkor Wat is located. We are having a fantastic time so far, it's really interesting so far. I'll let the videos I posted speak for themselves. Things I forgot to mention was that Cambodia is a really poor country but the people are pretty amazing and friendly. Although they do become bothersome when they keep trying to sell you stuff. The kids are the cutest. I wish I had more pics of them, but I feel wierd taking pictures of people like they are some sort of spectacle. I'll post these two videos and some pics. I haven't tested the videos, let me know if the audio isn't working. Any specific questions, just email me. Have seen some cool birds, but haven't identified that many. I need to find some time to go out on my own when I'm not on a long bus ride or in a dusty city. On to Phnom Phen tomorrow(capital city), stay for a day or two and check out the killing fields and museum, and then maybe some beach action on the south coast. I'll load some more stuff when enough time has passed.

Videos above, some pictures below. A few of hundreds.

Crazy Bangkok above, huge gold Buddha below.
Below is Poipet, bordertown in Cambodia.

Curt and I being dangerous on Tonle Sap, the huge lake in the middle of the country. The main river draining it reverses flow in the dry season so that it is filling the lake instead of draining it.
There were all kinds of communities that live in stilted houses on the lake.

Battambang. This picture makes it seem more clean and beautiful than it is.

Angkor Wat, followed by other temples (Wats) below.

This pick is for mother. Its me clearing landmines with a stick. Actually not that funny since we have seen a lot of people that have been hurt by landmines. Really sad. Many sell things or play music to try and make some money which is a lot better than begging.
