Thank you. However upon re-reading there are a couple of unfortunate vocabulary repetitions and grammatical errors I would fix, but I know the edit feature turns off quickly on the forum, either that or I can't find the button haha.

Re: 4 Months in Cambodia - Thoughts so far...
when you become an expert traveller or even a resident of a foreign country it may be time to leave and open a new blank page in your diary. Those "new and exciting feelings" will come back. There is so much new stuff to discover a life is not enough to cover only a small fraction of it.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 11:28 am nice report;

It’s hard to express the feelings that go with first impressions of any place, as they are uniquely your own, but can be coloured a lot by what you’ve already learned. Even just turning a corner in a long road, that you’ve maybe travelled along before.
I arrived for the first time in Cambodia before all this worldwide mayhem. My first experience of Phnom Penh was full of the riverside bustle as it was. I envy you Max, coming in to a more raw version of Cambodia. (Setting aside much of the misfortune that has turned things back for many). In my head rightly or wrongly, I imagine that it’s the more fundamental character of the people; dealing with it, readjusting and keeping moving. I’m a bit of a people watcher. A voyeur; Happy to relax over a beer or a cup of tea, and just observe people going about what they do.
For many commentators here, they’ve known places as they were, and seen it all pulled apart. Not as cataclysmically as a war or some natural disaster, but unsettling and disruptive anyway. You hint at this in your words about the roads in Siem Reap. You are probably going to experience a rebuild instead of a tear down. It’s likely not going to be slow development, more a time lapse fast forward in some ways.
Keep it coming.

to travel hopefully
is better than to arrive
