Decisions, Decisions
I'm going to go back to Thailand. However, I'm reserving judgment on Vietnam until later. I would like to go, but I'll be so close to Laos, I might just go there instead. (Unlike Vietnam, I've unequivocally heard good things about travelling in Laos.) If nothing else, it will save me a good amount of dough, as it's around US$400 return to go to HCMC or Hanoi from BKK (and that's assuming I can get my flight back to the States changed from Hong Kong to Bangkok - it's even more one-way to Vietnam and one-way to HK.)
Someone in Cleveland needs to find out if Phnom Penh Restaurant on Lorain Ave. serves amok - a tasty dish of steamed fish in a coconut milk sauce. Khmer food, quite frankly, isn't as good as Thailand's, but that little dish, if done right, is awfully tasty.
I'm off to see the local sights here in the capital this morning, and I'll probably hire a motorike to take me to the Killing Fields this afternoon. Places like Dachau, Auschwitz, and Choeng El here in Cambodia are a little strange - turning the horror of man's inhumanity to man into tourist sights - but it still seems to make sense for me to go.
