Seeing the monuments and the monks gave me something to contrast with our own US monuments and faith representatives. Buddhism seems like a much better spiritual practice on paper, but the implementation in Southeast Asia is far from what our imaginations conjure. We don't always hear about monks stealing or other negative issues associated with the practice of Buddhism. Any human endeavor is susceptible to human motivations.

Cambodia was the most third world country we have been in to date. We traveled on dirt roads. It was dry and dusty. Overall the food was just not good. There were a few places that food was okay, but by and large is was bad to mediocre. In Siem Reap there was a tourist district called Pub Street. It was overpriced and the food unreliable. Our AirBnB recommended a few places which were good. We experimented around and found a great Mexican place. |

The photos below are of our favorite hotel in the world. It is a boutique hotel with 8 rooms. We found them on AirBnB I believe. It's called the Mango Tree. It's within walking distance of Pub Street and the tourist area. The pool was a real swimming pool with adequate length and depth. It was well maintained and secure with a wall around it. Included in the $25 a night price is a choice of breakfasts that included an American option. Our room was on the first floor right next to the pool. It is always warm in Cambodia so we could swim there any time day or night. |
