I was quite stressful because of bad financial situation so just took a bus to Cambodia.
The first stop was Phnom Penh. Shared tuk tuk wiht two others girls, we went to the "Killing field" - a MUST place to visit in my view. Just visit it, then you'll know why there is a deep sadness in any Cambodia. The first time I visited Cambodia, I thought crazy bright sunlight and black skin make their eyes look that upset. But now I discovered the fact.
However, they are quite friendly and always smile to me. I saw a cool old man driving tuk tuk, I rose hand to say "hello" and he gave me a big big smile. :smiley:
After that, we went around the city, visited few temples as it's late afternoon. The tuk tuk driver dropped us at a night market, we got some thing sweet - kind of desert I guess for dinner, then went shopping. Clothes are cheap there, with good quality. I heard that Cambodia is famous for silver jewelry, there are many shop about it. Very nice and reasonable price. But remember to bargain.
We took a night bus to Siem Riep, predicted to watch sunrise at Angkok Wat.
The bus arrived at 5h30 the following day. A bit late for sunrise. Lucky, I met a small group and joined them to share tuk tuk again. He took us around Angkok Wat. It's incredible. There's no word can describe it.

I spent a night in Siem Riep at a small dorm very near the night market and tourist hub. Nice atmosphere for travelers but I prefer Angkor Wat and jungle, not the city. If you have more time, visit Angkor Wat for 3 days, go to river or just cycling around the enjoy the nature.
A bus came to pick me up in the following morning to go back to Vietnam. A very short trip I know, very enjoyable and relaxable as friendly people, nice green town, and far from computer, numbers, analysts...
