Arriving on an airport with only about 9000 passengers a day
is quit a nice change from the big airports, everything goes so fast no lines
nothing in and out in about 5 minutes.
If you do just a little research you will find out they want
to take advantage of the “rich” tourists. So my first contact with a TukTuk
driver was, when I told him I take the bus, he lied to me and said there was no
bus, after I told him the line, he just smiled smirky. The other passenger
starred at me, I think they are not used to have a tourist in a local bus, they
even took pictures. My 5 minutes of fame.
Cambodia is still a developing country, everything is
simple, cheap and has his own charm. If you know a little bit about the story
of the country you know why, it is the way it is. Only about 30 years ago 25%
of the people died, most of them the educated ones, because of the dictatorship
of the Khmer Rouge. You should visit the Genocide Museum and the Killing
fields, it won’t be easy what you will see but it’s definitely an eye opener
about cruelty of mankind. One other stop that is almost mandatory is Angkor
Wat, one of the UNESCO world heritage sides. You may better know it as it is
one of the temple in Tomb Raider. 
Like always a lot of my time doing what I love, BJJ. I went
to the first and only real BJJ academy in Cambodia H/ART. What do I have to say
about them, Vy the main instructor, is an excellent teacher, he breaks down the
technique perfect and teaches in a way that every beginner can understand it
and practice it easily. The BJJ scene isn’t that big mostly white belt with a
lot of heart, but there are some very good blue and purple that want to
challenge you, so you will have some fun rolls! And the best about all of it,
everyone has such a big heart and you will feel comfortable from the get go,
they even take you in as a part of the family!
