I find it really amazing at how fast Asia changes. I remember only being able to buy gas in individual home-filled liter bottles stacked up on tables in front of small roadside shops. We'd pick through the bottles to find the ones with the least amount of sediment in the bottom. That was the norm in all the Kampangs. You could only find real gas stations in the bigger towns. And five years ago it took three days of rough travel to get from northern Thailand to Angkor and still another two days to get to Ho Chi Minh City. Today you can drive from Thailand to Ho Chi Minh City in less than two days, and do it on modern super highway the entire way!
How times do change...
