• Angkor Wat, Cambodia on Squidoo
  Last year, 2006, I went to Cambodia looking for the handwoven silk and cotton they are famous for, and I was not to be disappointed. Cambodian fabrics have their own special character, and are famous the world over. I spent most of my time in Phnom Penh, but I also made a trip up to Siem Reap, and the amazing Angkor Wat. After a few days sightseeing and shopping in Phnom Penh (there are some great places to buy handwoven fabrics) I caught the bus up to Siem Reap. It was about a 5 hour trip, all on bitumen road. I was surprised to see dirt roads in Siem Reap, I guess I was expecting something more modern, as there are hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area each year. The town had a nice laid back feel to it, quite noticeable after a few days in the...

• Kunming to Dali, Yunnan, China on Squidoo
  In July 2006 I made my first trip to China, on yet another shopping safari, looking for handwoven silk and cotton fabrics for our "Lanna Charm" website. My destination was Dali, in the mid western region of Yunnan province. I flew to Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan, from Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, with Thai Airways, a 90 minute flight. Kunming is a big, modern city, with a population of over 5 million people. It is famous for it's all year round temperate climate, probably because it sits at an altitude of almost 1900 meters, and is known as the "Spring City". I did not find much in the handwoven fabric department, but had a good look around for the 2 days I spent there. One day I was looking for something to eat, and I foun...
