| | Cycling Cambodia | | 2007-09-13 03:12:00 | | Most true adventurers are well aware that cycling is really one of the best ways to explore and experience a new place. There are no barriers to separate you from the environment that surrounds you which makes for an experience that is pure, energizing and magically engaging. Combining this essential mode of travel with Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes and charming friendliness, travelers will be rewarded with a rollercoaster ride of a lifetime.Pedaling across sandy beaches and hidden trails, ‘saddle travel’ gives you exciting access to the remote wonders so often bypassed by trains and buses. Travel the dirt roads and dusty trails to experience the untold adventures of the nation’s northern forests and the magnificent splendor of Cambodia’s Khmer temples and all at your own pace.Acknowledged as the most exquisite example of ancient architecture in Southeast Asia, the Angkor ruins of Siem Reap are the spiritual and cultural heartbeat of the country and have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.What better way to discover these magical ruins than by cycling through the grounds, stopping to clamber through the fascinating ruins at your leisure. Cycling is also the ideal way to fully experience Cambodia’s stunning and diverse scenery. Whether pedaling through orchards or rainforests, gliding along the Mekong or spectacular coastal trails in the south, or rising to the challenge of a hilly stretch, cycling in Cambodia is a sensory overload of scenes, smells and even tastes that just can’t be replicated in the confines of a car.The freedom of biking also allows for a uniquely intimate interaction with the Cambodian communities you encounter as you ride. Weaving through temples, market crowds and villagers, you can pause at any time to chat and interact with locals, take a well-earned breather and experience the customary warmth (and tasty delicacies!) of this relatively unexplored land.Explore Cambodia, pedal through it! | | By: Travel to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Tha | | |

| | Cambodia and The Killing Fields | | 2007-05-07 08:00:11 | | I first became aware of Cambodia through a song by the early 80’s punk band The Dead Kennedys. I was about 13, living in an upper middle class suburb in New Jersey. My friend Jeff introduced me to DK, and in turn, the song Holiday in Cambodia. I liked it because it poked fun at rich, preppy kids (yes, the irony was lost on me at the time), by comparing their normal life to Cambodia during the genocide of the late 1970’s. Beyond the song, my knowledge was limited to an awareness that Cambodia was probably a dark, dangerous place. While our war with Vietnam was a topic for history class, I can’t recall a mention of Cambodia in school, which seems odd given around 2 million people died during a 5-year period within my lifetime.
Fast forward to my mid-20’s when I start to consider traveling to southeast Asia. I still didn’t know much about Cambodia, except that it was sandwiched between a few countries I’d heard were popular on the backpacker circu | | By: GoBackpacking | | |
