Mines Museum

We went to a mines museum. Expectations were around 0. Especially with my father. First, the facts: Every week, 3 people die from land mines in Cambodia. A mine, does NOT go click when you stand on it. There are still between 3-6 million mines in the ground in Cambodia. Most mines are not made to kill. Only to injure. Mines from more than six different countries are present in Cambodia. 12 de-miners got injured last year. All because they did not follow the safety regulations. In the place we went, the de-mining team had only 2 bad moments. One person got bitten by a cobra 3 times and survived. The other died of malaria because he refused the medicine and the shaman killed him with a bad treatment. (Big breath) there. WOW. I will give you a minute to take that in. That guy that toured us was great. He was realistic, told his opinion, was down to earth, told the facts, but not in a heavy way.

Angkor Wat – Put it on the ‘bucket list’ if not done so yet!

Angkor Wat. Amazing in every respect. The size, the buildings, the details, the age,…. Seldom seen anything this good. Even after 3 days still no temple fatigue detected!

From the top of the world to Temples in the Jungle

Wow what a place Angkor Wat is. If you haven’t visited, put it on your bucket list – superlatives can not do it justice!  The hotel is not a place to suffer either!
