I haven’t been able to do much work since I got to Cambodia. Cambodia is still a developing or third world country, so the fact that they even have internet is something. It is ranked 162 in terms of GDP. Power outages are fairly frequent and the fact that it is the hottest time of the year isn’t helping.
Getting a room with air-conditioning might seem helpful, but I think if I am travelling in the region for a while, it is better to try and climatize.
Cambodia is also a little shock to the senses, but the people are warm and welcoming.
I will be going to Vietnam next, which should be a little more developed and in some areas a little cooler.
Update: After that little rant, I found a great WIFI bar/restaurant – the Blue Pumpkin.

cambodia sounds pretty sweet. i’m jealous to say the least. Have fun in vietnam!
I think the country is going to grow pretty quickly. It is also strange that there is not one foreign chain like McDonalds or 7-11.
From the pictures you are showing the service seems to be pretty good
How many foreigners did you see in Cambodia? I imagine it could still be one of those very little commercialised destinations.
Yes, it’s a nice place and place became full by the afternoon. The breakfast was a whopping $3.50 – fruit also came latter.
There are a lot of foreigners here in Siem Reap to see Angkor, but there aren’t many in other parts of the country.
