* Siem Reap, Cambodia

What's the deal with Siem Reap all of a sudden? You suggest it as a
potential site for a .con -- and it's a destination on this season's
"Amazing Race" on CBS. Two weeks ago I'd never heard of it; now it
seems like everyone's talking about it.

And no, I'm not totally on a par with Sarah Palin ... I was aware of
Angkor Wat before "The Amazing Race" contestants landed in Siem Reap.
I *was* surprised they were able to find direct flights and didn't
have to change planes in Phnom Penh. (And jet planes, too. How
unromantic to set out for Angkor Wat without first stepping out of a
DC-3, pith helmet providing shade from the relentless jungle sun.)
