My Travel in Cambodia

What I have learned in Cambodia...

People of Cambodia are friendly but it was difficult for me to make any friends.  Perhaps what happened during the Khmer Rouge regime has scared the mentality of most people a little too much...

Siem Riep is full of Japanese for some reason.  Almost all the tour guides speak fluent Japanese!  I wish I could do that.

Don't exchange too much local currency as USD is the second, if not the preferred currency.

Landmine is still an issue within Cambodia so be careful where you go and step.

Children will often ask for money or candy before allowing you to take pictures.

When visiting Angkor Wat, you can go there after 4PM and the entrance is free.
