I love how diverse the population is in Sao Paulo.

It's a gritty city, felt poorer than I was expecting.

And you can definitely feel when you've wandered 

into an area that maybe you shouldn't have.

Very easy to use metro system, surprising well lit tunnels

compared to many stations in Paris.

And of course the food was great.  Got my acai fix.

Phnom Penh was never my favorite city and will never be, 

but I wanted to see what has happened since I was there 5 years ago.

Deeply saddened to say that many aspects have gone downhill.

Felt so helpless and down in the face of so much struggle

despite suddenly being surrounded by many familiar 

brand names, the contrast making it much worse.
