Today was really more of a travel day than anything. I started out the morning in cambodia and walked around the market area. While walking, I found the local office of the Red Cross. It was quite different from what we have in Louisville. In other words, don't complain about out lack of windows guys...They dont hvae A/C and it was hot there! Here are some photos.
After walking back from the Red Cross I passed a parade (or so I thought). This was Monday morning here. The school childern were marching down the street on a field trip. There were about 500 childern. The parade lasted for about 45 minutes. The kids were adorable and were in their uniform. Their teachers were in uniform as well.Shortly thereafter I arrived back at Siem Reap Airport for my return trip to Kuala Lumpur. We had one stop in Phon Phen...Here is the interesting part...Whenever you travel in these countries and have a stop...You have to get off the plane and go through security again. It is just really wierd. They call it a transit passenger. Even better - some areas are much tighter in screening than others. For example, in Kuala Lumpur you go through two different metal detectors/baggage screeners. One is when you go into the terminal...Then the second on at the gate.
In Taipei there are just little old women that frisk you down...No technology...In Cambodia the airport security are high school childern. So it is quite different...
On Tuesday, October 2nd, I will explore Kuala Lumpur. Have a good one!
