Oh hey Taipei: Welcome to Cambodia

While blogging isn't normally my forte, I figured this would be a great way to stay in touch and remember my adventure! I hope you enjoy it! Please leave comments and ask questions! I would love to hear what you think!

My first two weeks in Cambodia have been a crazy, busy roller coaster. When I first arrived with my two 70 lb bags, I was a little nervous about fitting into a tuk tuk, but Dara (my driver) was able to make it work. My first day exploring included going shooting (way overpriced.. a little sketchy.. who knew you didn't need glasses or a waiver to go shooting) and then we went to the killing fields. Extremely sad, but a great look at Cambodian history.

I met the rest of the group that night, there were ten of us. Of course no one else is going to Taiwan, but I now have some places to stay if I go visit Thailand or Vietnam. After grabbing dinner as a group, a few of us sat out by the pool drinking wine. The night turned into a few people that worked at the hotel jumping in and attempting to talk to us... which really was just a lot of grunting and multiple "cheers".

On Sunday we had a city tour. We went to a temple, and then the King's Palace. The palace was full of monks, and of course we all wanted pictures of them. What we didn't expect was them to ask us for pictures. At one point I was trying to walk back to the group and I was stopped because they weren't done taking pictures yet. Cool experience.. Heres some pics from my first weekend!
