SouthEastAsia

Wandering through Vietnamese Mekong Delta highways on raggedy busses and climbing angkor wat temples steep cliff jagged history
Thai nights dancing hip hop gorging myself on my wet dream of thai food come true and
even Bangkok is full of good people if you know where to look
Cambodia lies still in a special little place in my heart
and after all the history, all the genocide, coups, kidnapping, violence
comes a country -Finally-
a country with a heart, whose Cambodians realize what is important in life
and is not trying to be Koh Disney-Hilton the way Khao San Road has dwindled
into a lonely planet on europe's shoestring.
Even I got sick of myself haggling over 20 cents while buying a shirt.
And all I have to show for it, (18 days in this part of the world) are mosquito bites, a shaved head, and a slight (unnoticable except in the correct lighting) tan.
