I’ve heard there’s this ancient temple in Cambodia. What was the name of it?

I believe you mean Angkor Wat

I thought the show was good. I have lived in Cambodia for the past 8 years, in Battambang, it is across the Tonle Sap from Siem Reap, if you want a taste of typical Cambodian life this is the city to visit, not so touristy. My only comment is that prices have risen about 15% in the last year and a half, we have seen tremendous inflation, and the Cambodian Riel is pegged to the US dollar, so it is not worth as much as before. It is still an inexpensive travel location, but a little more than David said.
