Battambang, Abandoned City
Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 21 April 2011
Battambang is a dingy balcony over a deserted street. Battambang is a tangle of electrical wires sagging in the heat, is a patch of sand between busted-up sidewalk, is discarded amusement-park bumper cars fading in the sun.

The Angkor Temples and Battambang
Blog: Kieron Clark - 21 July 2009
