Cambodia has Angor Wat. That sometimes seems to be all it has. All it sells itself as. I thought Cambodia was an interesting place, but not one where I would like to spend a great deal of time. Siem Reap the town where Angkor Wat is located was all that forms around tourist sites in poor countries. A place where everything was desperately for sale. Phnom Penh was more to my liking. It isn't as ruined by tourism and was a nice place to spend a few days. I visted Cambodia in September 2006.
