Cambodia my impression

A dusty country where the gap between rich and poor is huge and where corruption is ingrained into the society. But a place full of history. Defintely worth a week of visit for sure and longer if you want to explore the beach area.

- proverty is very apparent, many beggers, and cripples around the tourist area. I heard few stories about fake ones like people renting out their babies to beggers to look more desperate.

- poor roads, some are finally improved, but there are still many potholes.

- seems like everything run on monoploy here; probably as result corruption

- a culture of past glory (angkor) and recent tragedy (genocide)

I sure hope the country and people will get its act together and work toward better future for everyone.
