I went to Cambodia last year. I was not very interested in Cambodia but our company chose the place. When I went to Cambodia I thought that their history is really amazing. We went there about 5 days. The first day we were all interested in the different ruins, but the next day I thought the ruins looked like very similar. Too many people went there, so we couldn’t take a photo very well. And I thought the food in Cambodia is very cheap but nice. I liked the smoothies, which you could get on the streets. I liked the street food but some of my colleagues had a stomachache. Our group had sixty people and about twenty people felt not very well when they ate the food. So if you want to try the street food you should be very healthy and have a strong stomach.
The life in Cambodia is not very interesting, because the shops will be closed at about 7 o’clock and there are not many shops on the streets so you can only stay in the hotel and look photos. The last day we went to a famous spot. Some people live on the sea. These people come from another country and they went to Cambodia but the government didn’t admit them to go to the land so they had to stay in the sea. If you go to Cambodia you must go to this place because this is a famous spot in Cambodia.
