wedding crashers

my third weekend in cambodia i had a crazy journey to battambang.

battambang is cambodia's 2nd largest city with some of the best preserved french architecture. it sits on the stung sangker river. located just over 200 km west of siem reap on what the japanese call dancing road or in other words 4 hours on a dirt road with ditches and potholes! it is untouched by tourism and is a center of learning with universities for pt and nursing.



dissappointed that i was missing my friend's wedding in siem reap, we crashed a wedding on the way to battambang. all you have to know about cambodian weddings is how to smile, cheer with jonny walker and dance.





we eventually made it to battambang...


here i met a vietnamese monk who wants to be a scottish doctor

sam nang or luck



we had a wonderful weekend exploring the city and temples.

it all ended with a flat on the way home!
