I only do this in the afternoon because part of the experience is fruiting in the hottest part of the day. Temperatures in the 100's are ideal for this activity. This section explains the different kinds of "fruiting", gives information for how to "fruit" and … [Read more...]

Over 100 people each month in Cambodia are maimed or killed by stepping on unexploded land mines. The Land Mine Museum is well worth visiting - it is sobering, sad and educational at the same time.
