Too Much Travel

So my third and last day in Cambodia was great. Our guide wanted to show us a little more about how the people live there, so she took us to her home where she lives with three generations of family. The house was nice, although small for the twenty people she said lived there. They run a motorbike repair show in the front, and had a large pit of crocodiles out back that they apparently raise and sell. We got to meet her husband (who is also a tour guide), her son, and her mother and father.

Later, she took us to a floating village where the people were all fishermen (and women). It was very sad because most of the people there are so incredibly poor. I saw people who had homes that were literally the size of a small rowboat. I couldn't say that this part of the trip was "fun," but one shouldn't see only the good sides of everywhere they go.

After leaving Cambodia we flew back to Bankok for a night, and then spent a full day travelling to Ko Chang, a beach island off the eastern coast of Thailand. We got in a little late, and had just enough time to eat dinner and take a quick walk on the beach before collapsing with exhaustion.
