It must be the long vowels that gave me away!

Oh that’s right!

Haha yes it does

Food is less complicated!

What are you referring to?

Pardon?

@@ayngelina Yeah I'm just asking why have you chosen a Veena( typical indian musical instrument) to be in the background. It's such a beautiful video except for stereotypical music. That veena distracts the whole vibe of that place

Oh I’m sorry you don’t like it. I think it’s beautiful.

@@ayngelina Fair enough. It seemed like a stereotypical decision. Beautiful video though!

Thank you. Maybe stereotypical because you are familiar with it. I just chose it because I liked it 😊

She's great, isn't she?

Thank you 😊

Thank you! Any suggestions for where I should go?

👋

Where else should we visit in Cambodia. I want to eat food in Battambang, any other places you would recommend?

Thank you too!

Hey stranger! Thank you for the birthday wishes 🥳

A lot of Thai people are working in Cambodia and they’re come to do so many business too but we never said anything about it because we understand we are the neighbours

@@rojanetouk เมื่อวานเพิ่งดูข่าว เเรงงานเขมรยกพวกตีกันกับ พม่า ในประเทศไทย เห้อ?เวรกรรมของคนไทยจริงๆ ต่างด้าวไม่เคยเกรงกลัวกฎหมายไทยกันเลย จะบอกอะไรให้ คนไทยเขาเริ่มจะหมดความอดทนกับต่างด้าวกันเเล้ว ระวังตัวกันไว้ให้ดี...😔

Thank you for letting me know!

Awesome, we just came back to explore Cebu this time

Thank you so much! So in SEA it depends on the country. Some airlines won’t even allow you on the plane without an onward ticket. Indonesia you almost always need to show an onward ticket . I’ve been asked when I’m entering immigration in Malaysia but they didn’t ask for proof. I don’t think I’ve been asked in Thailand, Cambodia or Laos but I think they know a lot of people are crossing by land. In cases where I need one but I don’t know my plans I buy an onward ticket reservation which I can show but it expires within 24 hours. I have a referral link in my video descriptions for the website I use which helps me out with a referral fee but doesn’t cost you any more money. There have been times where I just used it on the spot like getting a flight from Ecuador to Colombia they insisted I have one when I checked in so I told them I needed to find it and moved to the side and bought one that would expire to show them. I think it’s $14 and handy if you get asked for one. It’s all really up to the immigration agent too. I know others have been asked in the Philippines and Thailand so I’m always ready to buy if I need to.

@@ayngelinathank you for getting back so soon. 🎉 very appreciated look forward to more of your videos! My husband & I have a lot to catch up with your Asian videos! 😊

Thank you for the kind words. I learned so much in the previous Khmer traditional food video with CT where we ate more unusual traditional food like the grilled frog and baby bees but we also had a great conversation about Khmer food and why it shouldn’t be compared to others. I think it has really great qualities that people don’t realize because they are comparing it to Thai food.

This is a very good point. But it’s an exciting time to see so many young Cambodians supporting local food and also starting to bring back formal dining for Khmer food.

I share how I feel and that day was so heavy. The worst part is I shot it a couple months ago hoping it would be over and now it’s insane to think it’s more horrific and our countries allow it to happen.

Oddly enough most coffee producing countries served instant. It’s also common in Colombia and throughout South East Asia. In Colombia and Cuba the local coffee is cut with a legume to stretch it and reduce the cost. But don’t worry if you go to a coffee shop or formal restaurant in Ecuador you can get ground coffee. Instant is more common along the coast but in the Andes ground coffee is common and many people grow their own coffee.

Oh I’ve been nomadic for 14 years so travel is just part of my life although I think we’ll slow down a bit and stay places longer I do not have any plans to live in Canada. My editors name is Widya although everyone calls him Widy. I was very lucky to find him. During the pandemic he lost his job working as a producer in television and I found him online but we both had a good feeling about each other so we moved off the middle man platform and I have been paying him directly for years. He encouraged me to visit Indonesia after Ecuador and I’ve visited him twice, once with Alan. Also my friend in Jakarta,Aloy, is Widy’s best friend. When I first arrived in Jakarta Widy asked him to take me around because he knew the city would be so overwhelming. And now every time we travel through Jakarta we meet up with Aloy to shoot a video.

@@ayngelina Thanks so much. Great videos.Love u hired food guides. U were the 1st western woman 2 do food in Jakarta & Padang.WSo happy u went 2 Indonesia, i loved it, esp the gamelan & spent over 25 years traveling 2 different islands, including Iran Jaya! Will never forget my bus rides in Sumatra from Padang, seeing Indonesians in flip-flops on the side of the road on washed out roads & the amazing hospitality! Selemat Jalan!💙Ur so brave riding motorbikes!

Well Alan is a good driver but I'd never attempt to drive one! That said Alan and I were talking to someone in the Philippines yesterday about how Indonesia is the best country for motorbikes because they get priority on the streets and cars/trucks go second. I guess just the sheer volume of motorbikes on the road. But in the Philippines cars don't make way for bikes so it feels more dangerous, especially as it seems like most people driving a car has the skills of someone who started driving last week! But it's still better than Vietnam. We had a lot of close calls there because trucks drive like maniacs there.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tips! I didn’t know about either of these.

I haven’t heard about it but please tell me more!

Thanks so much for kind words!

I answered at the end of the video as Calvin hoped to see videos from Vancouver

@@ayngelina that is awesome, I used to live there , very crowded now , but beautiful, now I am in Calgary , it is nice city

I really like Calgary, I reached out to their tourism office hoping to work together as my audience really liked my Edmonton video but I’m still waiting to hear back 😬

It's ok I completely understand, there is a replay if you want to catch up!

Me too. I was watching Copa America and I was also under the impression it would be Sunday morning USA time😂 Guess I'll have to watch this version 😂

Awww! RUclips gives you local time! Anyway I did answer your questions 😊

@@ayngelina I saw that. Thanks for that. Cuba and Sri Lanka sound interesting. Most people who go to the Caribbean chill at the beach to begin with, but I wouldn't have imagined that Cuba is the sort of country where you can just wonder around on your own, so that would be an interesting vlog. Happy belated birthday

Thank you! And OH MY YES, Cuba is really interesting. But because Cubans don't travel their country independent travel can be tricky. But it's absolutely possible. I traveled all over the country and just wandered streets. So fingers crossed Alan gets a visa and you'll see lots of videos from there.

So nice of you. Where is that in Cambodia?

Nagyon örülök, hogy élvezted. jövő héten egy kambodzsai kisváros

Liz thank you for your generosity, you’re always so kind. You know with the fish I always ask but there are so many kinds that we don’t have in North America so unless I see it’s snapper or tuna it’s usually a variety I’ve never seen.

Thank you 🙏

It was!

We are absolutely coming back to Laos. We were both so sad to leave but I heard the weather should be better in autumn.

I really love traditional food in markets but even I’m aware that sometimes it makes people feel like a country is only markets and street food. So I appreciate this feedback as I think it’s important for me to also show that there are many sides to a city and country.

Glad you enjoyed it

Hope to see you at the livestream Q&A today if you’re around

Hope to see you at the livestream, I have your papaya answer!

Thank you so much for the compliment, it made my night 😊

You know I actually really love how they've transformed the place with artwork and photographs, which did not look great on video with reflections. But instead of historical photos and artwork from colonizers it was actually all of locals during that period at Angkor Wat. It was like the place was taken back and filled with the Khmer culture it deserved. And every day I did one of the free cultural experiences, which sadly I was the only person in the hotel to choose- but they were all really interesting as the hotel has its own historian. As for the price, I saw a number of group tours while I was there so I think it may be more affordable than you'd think.

Thank you!

We took a bus, it was eight hours. We arrived at 7pm so we stayed the night and took a small boat over the next day.

Thank you so much! I never turn anything down unless it’s endangered but this was one of the most adventurous videos.
