Mekong Delta, Phnom Penh, Angkor, Bangkok, Ko Samet, New York

Are the places, in that order, where many a photos have been taken by yours truly since the last post.

Highlights (again, shall be brought to you in full colour on picasaweb when I find a computer to upload them and a few hours to caption them):
Mekong delta-- homestay 30 mins from Can Tho (capital of region), which is only accessible by motorbike, and a leisurely walk through a foot of water in wellies. Floating market at Cai Rang (and on-land market too). My Tho canal ride. General feeling of being as in the bush as possible.

Phnom Penh-- lots of crazy Khmer Rouge genocide-related thing (e.g. Choeng Ek Killing Fields, Tuol Sleng genocide museum), Royal Palace. Meeting cool Swedes and Aussie.

Siem Reap/Angkor-- Remarkable temples from 1000 years ago. Angkor Wat, Preah Khan, Banteay Srei, Bayon, and so much more! 3 days and 4 nights well spent.

Bangkok-- The principal tourist attractions of Grand Palace and Wat Pho, as well as the christmas tunes on the subway in the leisurely 28 degree (85 F) weather.

Ko Samet-- The perfect way to end the trip. Relaxing and magnificient. The seclusion of our wooden bungalow and the tiny beach.

New York-- the constant feeling as if I've never left despite having been here not more than 15 days over the past 15 months.
