Cambodia - History / Temples / Pagodas

Our long-awaited trip to a distant kingdom is about to start. Once an attractive prize for its Asian neighbours and European colonizers, the kingdom has suffered savage and bloody genocides in which it lost more than 3 million people. This country in South East Asia, in the southern part of the Indo China peninsula is one of the heavily mined areas in the world. According to some estimates there may be up to ten million mines. In addition to the deadly anti-personnel mines planted throughout the country by the various governments and factions, there are also many unexploded artillery shells and other types of bombs dropped by the USA at the end of the 1960s and early 1970s.
"No Luggage" we're travelling to a country with an impressive historical and cultural heritage. We'll be seeing the kind-hearted, hospitable people and the hot sun giving life to the dense verdant landscape.
