    Did you ever notice that all border towns have a knack for relieving you of your “unwanted” cash before you enter the new kingdom? Well, going from Vietnam to Cambodia is no exception. Though in no way comparable to going from Thailand to Cambodia, it is surprising how this relatively new route from the Mekong to Phnom Penh is now being affected. I guess you can’t blame the small villages that prey on unsuspecting travelers making the journey. You are horded into the only restaurant in the village, hungry and there's not much you can do but have something mediocre to eat at inflated prices. That is not the worst part, though. The kids, most likely the owners’ kids, try and pry the last piece of local currency from your pocket before you leave by selling snacks, beers etc. The worst scam was the kids showing you where the toilets were, for a price of course!

    I actually found that if you just paid some attention to them, they didn’t bear any grudges even if you didn’t buy anything. I guess a piggyback ride is the same the world over; kids love them.
