Arriving in Cambodia

The Bangkok airport was a breeze. We even got priority in the passport control queues because we are traveling with children. Thanks Yasmin and Roya!

Arriving in Cambodia, was strange. We also got priority, but this time they take you straight to the baggage claim, ask for all your papers and passport and of course the visa fee, then they run off with all of this and you're left wondering if it is some sort of scam, but sure enough they return with your passports and visas after a 15 minute wait and off you go.

We were supposed to be met by someone from out guest house, but no sign with our names greeted us. So we gave them a call and they rushed to get us. The owner had been setting up wireless Internet so he lost track of time and forgot about us. I'm just glad for the Internet, although it is a bit slower than back home.

The guest house is fine, and we are settling in with a game of table pool and some dinner. They seem like a friendly bunch here.
