I was just reading it through it and realized that I don't even care if anybody was reading this, but it was good I blogged because there were some things I had forgotten about. Well, after Bali, I was definitely too busy to ... http://www.amberbutch.com/days-75-120-the-rest-of-the-trip/ Our flight to Bali was this morning. When it's an international flight, it's good to play it safe and be about at the airport about 2 hours before the flight. Well, we were having some technical difficulties with our alarm system and we ended up sleeping in. We woke up ... http://www.amberbutch.com/day-74-close-call/ This is our last full day in Singapore... tomorrow we are heading to Bali, Indonesia.

That would have been funny to just see him walking ... http://www.amberbutch.com/day-70-kl-bird-park/ Today we leave Cambodia for good and are off to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

So we tried to ... http://www.amberbutch.com/day-69-malaysia/ This is what brings most people to Cambodia - what brought us here mainly - one of the world wonders, Angkor Wat.

We were picked up ... http://www.amberbutch.com/day-68-angkor-wat/ Today involved just lots of sightseeing - seeing temples and more. This included the place where Tomb Raider was filmed. I forgot what the place was called technically, but whatever. It was really cool. http://www.amberbutch.com/day-67-tomb-raider-more/ We left Phnom Penh today to go to Siem Reap. Most people take a bus or a car to get to Siem Reap. But I say, fuck that. It's like a 4 hour drive and the roads and driving in this country is just horrible. We would have a great ... http://www.amberbutch.com/day-66-off-to-siem-reap-cambodia/
