Countryside of Cambodia

October 8, 2006 ⋅ post a comment

Julayne compared the countryside of Cambodia to Amazon, at least in a sense, when the blogger making a visit to Bakong, a temple in Siem Reap.

After riding along for about a half an hour, we turned left onto a red dirt road, which inevitably reminded me of two things: (1) backwoods of Southern Georgia, and (2) the bus ride into Ecuador’s Amazonian town of Mesahualli. In fact, the countryside of Cambodia resembles the Amazon quite a bit. It’s very lush, green jungle spotted with the smiling faces of children and the curious looks that come from the older locals as they look in at the white girl, or “barang”, as the Khmer people like to say.
