I am going to Cambodia tomorrow......are there any rff members there?

[Leica All Day]

I have been to Cambodia a couple of times before and know the country quite well, so I am not really asking for any advice, but I was wondering if any rff members are there?

I will be traveling around on a motorcycle for a week along the Mekong.....I will be in Phnom Penh for a day....anybody around?

cheers,michael

Hello Hans.....Is it safe?....well, I had a couple of close calls out in the country side, but mostly because of animals wandering in the roads.........

also if you go to some parts of the country, you have to stay on a narrow path because there are land mines on both sides of you........the area is clearly marked and it warns people not to go off the path....the only sketchy thing is, when it rains....sometimes the land mines move and you are not really sure where they are.......

but I plan on traveling along the Mekong River, and staying in small towns, visiting temples and taking lots of photos and meeting the locals who live off of the river.....
I did a trip like this about 3 or 4 years ago and it was amazing, this time, i will travel along a different section of the river, so it should be exciting.....

you actually have to park your bike inside your hotel room once you get out in the country side.....you can check out my wonderful shower in this photo.....classic Cambodia
