VJ957

Bored on a recent flight from Hanoi (Vietnam) to Siem Reap (Cambodia). All filmed on my old but trusty iPhone 4S- hence the low quality. Music by one of my favorite ambient artists- The Dead Texan.

On Track

Riding the rails from the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh to the southern city of Sihanoukville last year. This rail link had just been rebooted to a twice weekly passenger service after a 15 year absence due to neglect and damage from the civil war. It was the same same but different to when I rode […]
