A rather late comment but for anyone trolling the archives like me, Germany is now part of the Schengen group/ alliance ?of countries and we do need a visa to get into either the first Schengen country you land in or the one you will be in the longest. Nice thing is one visa is good for all of the dozen or so countries… And fares within Europe can be cheap if you buy them from there.

“the one place where pinoys DONâ€™T need a visa and all those citizens of Western nations have to LINE UP for ages to buy a visa on site”

– Actually, there are several countries we don’t need visas for. The ASEAN countries, of course, plus parts of South America (Venezuela? I can’t remember right now), and last I checked, Germany — Filipinos are given this privilege because Rizal studied in Heidelberg. :-)

I was in Phonm Penh and Siem Reap just about two weeks ago for a good 4 days for a business trip. I must say that their airports are far far better than ours. What a shame. Was also able to do one-day guided tour of selected Angkor temples only. They said that it takes about 3 days to see all the sites.

Im looking forward to your food blogs. In my short stay, I was able to taste their fried black spider, cow’s penis cooked ala chiniese adobo style, spicy papaya salad with goat’s tongue and their version of balut ala pobre. I was also able to taste also fish amok and their version of bbq beef dip in lemon pepper sauce. Sarap!

I was wondering if there is a good Khmer resto, here in Manila?
