We are also going to the Raffles in Siem Reap and I think it’s going to be very special as it was such an important place. But I do really like that while Raffles acknowledges colonialism and you can see it in the architecture, they focus more on celebrating Khmer culture and food.
@remhk66724 ай бұрын
Every place in the world has its unique charm. If PP is the pearl of Asia, what's sihanoukville? Right now, cambodia has to focus on self growth and making some fundamental changes in their social belief systems and doing so on a collective level. To ensure the country doesn't stagnate and spiral deeper into a morally corrupt state.

I had originally planned to go to Sihanoukville but the overwhelming response from locals and expats here was not to bother, that it was overrun with Chinese casinos and Russian businesses, so much so that even the sexpats had moved to Kampot.

Thank you, Ayngelina, for a very fun and informative video. Your video may have changed some people's perspectives about Cambodia. Cambodia is on the rise. With 60% of its population being youth, Cambodia has a huge amount of active people. Maybe in the past 10 years, people saw Cambodia as a slow-developing country, but remember that it was because we had just suffered from the Khmer Rouge, and many older people, like my mother, did not have access to education. Nowadays, it's different as young people have a lot of opportunities. I believe in my people, and I believe they are going to run this country well.

left the country back in 1979 after I had to live through the genocide under Pol Pot killing madness. Most of my family members did not survive as we were forced to move out of the Phnom Penh City in 1975 to work in the rice fields and to dig cannals. My first return trip was in 1995 when the country first opene up to the world to search for my surviving family members. I've returned to visit my sole surviving sister every year for the last ten years since my retirement from US to heal the past. It's very safe to visit Cambodia now as the country has come a long way since the prolonged civil war was officially ended in 1998. Be mindful of your surroundings . Be kind whenever possible. It's always possible as life is short to do the things we don't love doing. Happy and safe travels from a genocide survivor ✌️

My husband & I stumbled upon your channel. Very nice 😊 Lots of hard work put into your videos. Did you both have an onward ticket when you arrived to Cambodia 🇰🇭 ? Do you always have an onward ticket when traveling in SE Asia in particular? Just wondering if some countries have given you a hard time if you didn't have a ticket set as soon as you landed for when to go. 😊
@ayngelina4 ай бұрын
Thank you so much! So in SEA it depends on the country. Some airlines won’t even allow you on the plane without an onward ticket. Indonesia you almost always need to show an onward ticket . I’ve been asked when I’m entering immigration in Malaysia but they didn’t ask for proof. I don’t think I’ve been asked in Thailand, Cambodia or Laos but I think they know a lot of people are crossing by land. In cases where I need one but I don’t know my plans I buy an onward ticket reservation which I can show but it expires within 24 hours. I have a referral link in my video descriptions for the website I use which helps me out with a referral fee but doesn’t cost you any more money. There have been times where I just used it on the spot like getting a flight from Ecuador to Colombia they insisted I have one when I checked in so I told them I needed to find it and moved to the side and bought one that would expire to show them. I think it’s $14 and handy if you get asked for one. It’s all really up to the immigration agent too. I know others have been asked in the Philippines and Thailand so I’m always ready to buy if I need to.

You can haggle until it go down but most people there know that you're a tourists. If you're a tourists, it's hard to bring the price down. Ive ask my husband cousin before. They will pay for a shirt $1 or 2 dollars and at most 4 to 5 dollars. Tourists most likely pay $16 or $18 dollars. I payed 6 dollars for the shirt. Always bargain on a tuk tuk, food stalls, and mall. I went there in 2016 and it look totally different. I would love to visit there again and I hope you enjoy Cambodia. One more thing, My family member say, don't ride the taxi there.
@ayngelina4 ай бұрын
We were quoted $5 for a shirt there and in the Russian market, but I don’t mind locals paying 1-2 as I don’t expect local prices when I travel. I have more disposable income and I’m a visitor so I should pay more. And thank you for the taxi tip. We used grab tuktuks the whole time, it was great 😊
@sovyc9774 ай бұрын
@ayngelina They tried to charge me 18 dollars for a shirt. It's okay to pay 18 for a shirt in America. I wouldn't pay 18 dollars in Cambodia. Why? If foods are extremely cheap , clothes should be cheap too. It is okay to buy quality clothes with high prices. So you're telling me to pay double or triple for an L .V purse, foods and etc. If you're rich, you can travel. If I had to pay 15 dollars for 10 nuggets, that is expensive. If you want to pay more, go for it, but don't force people to pay. I guess America should charge visitors 2 or 3 times.I wonder who can pay and who would visit America, I wonder? If you go to Korea, would you be fine paying a corndog for 10 or 15 dollars. I think they wouldn't have tourist anymore over time. I don't want anyone to pay more than you have to. Be safe, and I hope you enjoy Cambodia.

Although we all have human bodies I think we’re built differently, maybe because of introducing foods later in life?

But as you know that’s what a lot of places are, steeped with history and people living many different ways.

It’s a good way to introduce people who may not be as inclined to eat coagulated blood at the market.

yes definitely, actually we're in the Philippines right now, which has so many Spanish influences, but also many of the words here are very similar or the same to Indonesian.

But one of my favorite things about food and language is seeing how it travels from country to country.
@remhk66724 ай бұрын
@ayngelina It could be many reasons.. another one is the shared linguistic heritage of both the Philippines and Indonesia. Tagalog and Javanese, the two main languages spoken in those respective countries, both belonging to the austronesian family of languages. In addition to the historic royal connection, I'd imagine them sharing many basic archaic root words as well. But yes, food and languages will find their way in other parts of the world as long as human interaction, participation and desire for sharing aren't disrupted.

I share how I feel and that day was so heavy. The worst part is I shot it a couple months ago hoping it would be over and now it’s insane to think it’s more horrific and our countries allow it to happen.
