BOAT RIDE UP THE MEKONG

We paid a local fisherman to cruise us up the Mekong River in the small boat to the right of us. His wife and three children also lived on the boat. Our taxi driver tried to talk us out of the small boat ride and steer us towards the larger tourist boats...I am definately not one for doing the usual tourist thing. The small fishing boat was a blast! We cruised through small floating villages and just floated around on the several occasions that the engine quit.

Angkor's Buddhist Monks

Throughout the temples there are Buddhist statues and alters with Monks in prayer, mediation and burning incense. A very surreal place.

Temple of Angkor Wat - Cambodia

Angkor Wat and the many surrounding temples are incredible to experience. Photos don't do them justice.

And Longer and Stranger...Cambodia - Nov '06'

On a recent trip to Cambodia I had the opportunity to test drive some military hardware. Shot a variety of automatic weapons including the AK-47, Anti-Aircraft guns and thew hand grenades.
Most weapons are available...tanks, RPG's and a variety of automatic rifles and hand guns.
