I must admit this is one of the reasons that I headed to Cambodia in 2010 after only a few days in Thailand. I had fully planned to live and work in Thailand, but when I got there this Indiana farm boy felt like I'd moved to the future. This is the moment I realized that Indiana is a third-world country, the chain stores, the fast cars, the multiple land highways, all of these things had been slowly destroying the economy of my little farm town since I was a boy, so I cancelled my three-month long Thailand plans and headed for the Cambodian border without a plan or any prior research other than that I knew it would be more laid back.
