    Friends, Nerds and fun – Belgium!

    After two months in France, we made a quick stop in Belgium, more precisely in Ghent. This trip was definitely different from all the ones we had in the past couple of months.

    After the extravagance of Singapore, it was time for our trip to Cambodia. Similar to our trip in Laos, we decided to split the journey between two destinations: Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.
