Khmer cuisine is very close to Thai cuisine, gasp, just don't tell that to a Cambodian. It goes great with Angkor beer.

Angor Wat was all I expected to be and more. I actually expected Ta Prohm and did not expect the grandeur of Angor Wat. Built by Suryvarman II in the 12th century, it's 669 feet tall structure is awe-inspiring. The structure that was built by arranging la

Vietnam is not on my itinerary but based on the bull s*&% I experienced at the "security" checkpoint and on the plane, I am never coming back. First, to get on each leg of the flight, you had to be bussed in like sardines with the entire flight to the most remote part of the airport. At Hanoi, the one security guard pulled out my cash that I had zippered inside my purse and started rifling through my money!!! Another one tried to distract me so I would take my attention off of Twiddle-thief. They finally came up with some lame explanation that I cannot carry a cuticle cutter, when I refused to take my eyes off of Twiddle-thief who was trying to steal a substantial amount of cash. I hate this country. It has already cost me a $30 Twizzerman cuticle cutter. In fairness, I was probably carrying more money than he makes in a year, but I hate thieves. The one on the second leg of the flight, which also consisted of trains, planes and automobiles through the airport, the plane was skipping through the air as if it was a stone on a calm lake. Also, when the plane hit ground, it literally creaked and groaned. Not coming back, ever.
