Cambodia is a beautiful country and a prime example of this is 5hours south in Sihanoukville, a town with the most beautiful beaches that could easily pull crowds away from Thailand's counterparts. Accomodation is so cheap here, its $7US for a double room in a hotel with bathroom and TV, and most rent motorbikes for about $5 so the next day we took off exploring the surrounding areas, spotting monkeys playing on the roads! For me the experience came trying to learn how to ride a manual motorbike, not to the amusement of Petra as everytime I changed gear she nearly fell off the back!! I swear it wasnt intentional! Sihanoukville attracts tourists for another reason aswell, women and the conveniently placed Vietnamese embassy (the only place in Cambodia to get your required visa for Vietnam in 5minutes), a trip there set us back $40 each for a 30day visa!! Not the best day out ever!! Another killer at the moment is the exchange rate for dollars...damn the UK and its economy, I remember when it use to be $2 to the pound, now its $1.45 and creeping down minute by minute, and incase you dont know in Cambodia the main currency is dollars! But saying all that, we reduced our normal budget massively to only $40 per day and still lived like Kings and Queens!! We spent 3nights in this amazing place, including one whole day on the beach, lying on sunbeds two feet from the sea we were in heaven, you dont even need to move for lunch, it comes to you! Well worth the journey to and from Phnom Penh
Pred odjezdem do Vietnamu nas jeste zlaka Sihanoukville - pristavni mesto lezici na samem jihu Kambodzi, a take jedna z popularnich turistickych destinaci. Pronajimame si motorku, a jako vzdy koumame a badame podle sveho..narazime na opicu rodinku sedici primo na silnici, pote se jedeme podivat na Vyletni lod, ktera nepochopitelnym zpusobem zakotvila v techto koncinach, a nasim hlavnim kazdodennim problemem je kam pujdeme na veceri. Nase zaludky uz nejsou nadseni z tamejsiho stravovani, a tak se to snazime napravit cimkoli co nam pripomina evropske jidlo..v techto mestech je to celkem bezne, jen je tezke najit misto kde vam to spravne a tepelne upravi.. (npr.kdyz si Rich objednal v Thajsku testoviny - tak se za zachodu nehnul hodne dlouho, tak se snazime vybirat spise bagety nebo hamburgery:-) Riskla jsem to a objednala cosi jmenem Kambodzsky Amok, a mnam mnam, nektera jidla tu maji nesrovnatelna s jinou asijskou kuchyni.. Jinak jsme si uzivali nadherne plaze, a klidneho more, jidla, piti a slunicka..Samozrejme jsem neodolala manikure & pedikure, usmlouvano na pouhe 3 dolary ( za zminku stoji, ze pani odvedla celkem dobrou praci, ale za par dni mi zacal hnisat jeden prst, ktery nejspise chytl infekci ze spinavych nuzek, ci cokoli co pouzila-takze uz zadne manikury!!) Jinak jsme si tu uzili super 3 dny, lenoseni na plazi, relaxu,a hlavne jsme si vyridili viza do Vietnamu, kam se zahy vydavame!!

Ahmet I love prominent foods, but I'm not sure that I'm an eprext in them. I enjoyed that the article also mentions the attempt to burn the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh to the ground. I'm expecting a similar sort of uproar from the Thai side when the news gets around that prahok khtis is the new tom yam.
