Here’s some nice camera work shot with a Canon 5D Mark II by Ivan Vania, who travelled through Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. It reminds us of our recent travels through those countries, albeit in a calmer light.

East-Asia is changing with the modernisation influence of the west…

Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital, now has its own KFC and other capitalist trappings. Skyscrapers are rising, and foreign money is pouring in.

This may be your last chance to see Phnom Penh before this former village at the mouth of three mighty rivers, once called the Pearl of Asia, turns into a booming metropolis.

The New York Times provides their list of things to do in 36 hours if you get a chance to visit Phnom Penh soon..
