First Impressions of Cambodia

In Ko Pha Ngan I thought about where to go next. I didn't know if I should go to Cambodia, Laos or northern Thailand. As I arrived in Bangkok at 5 o'clock in the moring and sat in a cafe reading my Lonley planet I saw Bert (a guy I met in Ko Tao) riding by on a bicycle. I just jumped up, shouted his name and he turned around. He just told me that he is on his way to the train station to go to Cambobia.
Because it was such a coincidence to see a mate cycling by at 5.30 in the morning in Bangkok I took it as a sign and decided to go to Cambodia.
