This was my first visit to this small Southeast Asian kingdom.

I discovered a country with a distinctive culture and yet somehow it seemed to be the most typically “Southeast Asian” destination.

My introduction to Cambodia was a minor culture shock. Cambodia’s biggest city is not as developed as other capitals in the region.

Kampot – Old School Cool

This small Cambodian city on the river has a very European vibe. I was only passing through but I got stuck doing nothing here.

This video gives a taste of the old part of the town and its surrounding area.
