• when riding a tuk-tuk, sunglasses are a must (thanks Chiyo!)
• street stalls have great, dirt-cheap food
• people tend to mind their own business more than in Indonesia
• Cambodian money is easy to understand
• my first day in Cambodia was much better than my first day in Malaysia and my first day in Indonesia
• amidst the other smells in Cambodia, durian actual smells pretty good
• not very many Cambodians smoke
• AC buses are very cold
• there are many chicken fights you can see from the bus
• sometimes, cows block the road
• there are a lot of temples
• cambodian movies in the bus are very weird
• ponds come in all sorts of colors; matcha, curry, kabocha soup, black bean
• it's hard to say no to a child begging for money or water, but not impossible ... but you give in eventually
• it's hard to resist buying bamboo instruments that make the twanging sound
• sometimes, a strange looking indigenous animal is just a dog
• on a very hot and humid day, a tuk-tuk ride through the tree-lined roads of Angkor Wat is perfect
• having mainly dollar bills feels like having foreign currency
• most people assume I'm Japanese
