I have loved my time in Cambodia and will miss it very much. Not only is the country attractive, tragic and fascinating, but the people above all are so incredibly friendly. Sure, the friendliness often goes hand in hand with hawking, which is understandable. But equally often the friendliness is just that, friendliness, with a healthy mix of desire to practise English and sheer curiosity in a stupidly tall white girl. Those are the special times. Sure, it can sometimes get annoying when all you want is a bit of peace and quiet, but those occasions are rare.
As such, I have made friends on buses, improved my Khmer (Cambodian language), given novice monks an English lesson, and got to know people from all walks of life in this lovely country. You just can't beat it.
