I found the people of Cambodia very beautiful and genuine also. I posted some of my experiences early in (read bottom of) my blog. I look forward to reading more of your travels from around the world Chris. I visited SE Asia in November of 2007 and I love every drip of memoir I find from others making a similar journey.

The most interesting movie-going experience I had was in Vienna. A group of us went to see Pearl Harbor at an English-language theatre. They treat the movies like another art form -- there's assigned seating in the theatre, tickets for the better seats cost more, the refreshments are almost worth the price you pay. And when the kid at the beginning of the movie calls his friend's dad "you dirty German", and the dad takes offense and says, "Hey! I fought the Germans in the war!", you flinch instead of feeling patriotic pride, because the ancestors of most of the audience were on the other side of that conflict.

This was a great entry. Travel is not even one of my prominent interests, but I dig your enthusiasm and the way you write about it. I've been following your blog for a few months now, and I think your writing just keeps getting better. Keep it up! Hi Chris. This was a great entry.

I spent 6 months cycling half way round the world the other year, and it never ceased to amaze me the generosity and friendliness I encountered. It rebuilt my faith in humanity after 10 years of living in London! A smile and offer of a cup of tea are all a weary traveller need! Hey Chris,

Great post as always. I spent 6 months cycling half way round the world the other year, and it never ceased to amaze me the generosity and friendliness I encountered. It rebuilt my faith in humanity after 10 years of living in London! A smile and offer of a cup of tea are all a weary traveller need!
