Lonely Planet's top destinations for 2019

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

Sri Lanka at number 1 seems reasonable, was there about 23 years ago. Skip Columbo and go directly to the railway station to catch the train to Kandy. Stay at the beach near Columbo before catching your flight out.

I suppose Germany is popular with Asian tourists.

Egypt is the best value for some reason. Not sure why...

Seattle and Miami in the top 10 cities seems a bit off, but I haven't been to either, so what do I know?
Germany got the spot because of the anniversaries if "Bauhaus" and the falling of the wall.

well, the fall of the wall was a very big deal, but Bauhaus is the main reason we have all these shitty looking buildings now compared to a hundred years ago. :D

I may be going to hell in a bucket,
but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

I quite like some of the designs, but then I am a Lederhosen myself:
