one tall thin German girlfriend
Backpack is essential. It's tough going trying to get on and off small wooden boats with a bloody suitcase! Sandals are great but boots are often better for getting from one locale to the next if you are lugging a pack around. Wide angle is the best for taking the full grandeur of Angkor Wat in and a zoom is great for taking sneaky monk photos. One tall thin German girlfriend (hmm, would make a good wife) comes in handy to keep the monks at bay. Since she speaks three languages, they wanted to speak to her more. Ok, ok, maybe it wasn't just her linguistic abilities they were interested in. ;)
