Well, here I am in Cambodia.

A very uneventful two-hour flight took us to Phnom Penh International Airport, which was spartan but clean and adequate. We were processed efficiently enough and were soon on our way to the city proper in a tuk-tuk.

What we shortly noted was that Phnom Penh had a rather rustic, small-town air. I mean this as no insult, and the signs were readily apparent that this was a city very much still under construction. Most of the largest buildings appeared new, and piles of construction materials lay by the roadsides (the roads themselves being mercifully adequate), ready to be turned into more concrete/fibreglass symbols of modernity.

We then found accommodation and had dinner. Yes. The first day of any trip is almost never exciting (except previously in Thailand). Things promise to be more thrilling tommorrow.
