Cambodia

Cambodia: a land of beautiful temples and home to one of the world's wonders. Tons of people flock here every year to see these ancient treasures. In order to get to them you have to go on a voyage through small towns riddled with trash and kids with bare feet. You travel through fields with row after row of houses on stilts and little faces peer out, probably dreaming of where the people on the bus come from or where they are going. Places that in all honesty, they will probably never see. They will never have the chance to take off around the world. They will be too concerned with where the next meal is coming from or if their parents will make enough to send them to school. And yet they smile. They run around and play in the ponds and they befriend the cows. They make so much out of their limited opportunity and they smile more than most people back home.
