we arrived by air in siem reap on saturday morning. Siem Reap kicks ass and is such a cute town with so many two story bars and restaurants. It has a really nice vibe. We went to the old market and then got traditional massages for $6/hr. After relaxing by the pool we went for drinks at the foreign correspondants club and dinner at soup dragon overlooking pub st. Afterwards we went to the Angkor Whaaaaaaaaat? bar which we had been excited about for awhile we really like saying "ANGKOR WHAAAAT?".
The next morning we went to the angkor complex and visited bayon and the tomb raider temple. I made a daredevil pose ontop of a mini tower and was promptly warned by a guide to move it or lose it. The afternoon was hangin out by the pool because it was so frickin hot. Our group frequently had international competetitions and sim and i were called "team yank" a lot but we consistently blew team sweden, team kiwi, and team pohm out of the water. For dinner we went to cambodian bbq where they cook the food at your table and I tried crocodile, yummy. The next morning we woke up at 4am to see the sunrise at angkor wat. We went to a mall for locals after where i bought some interesting t-shirts (their attempts at english translations are pretty funny)and we had a group dinner later at a traditional khmer restaurant and it was sooo good for sooo cheap.
Tuesday morning we took a long and bumpy ride to Battambang. We were only stopping here to break up the journey but simi and i took an impromptu tour by motorbike and the guy driving seemed happy to be our guide. We stopped at two wats and at one of which the monks started chatting with us. The next mornign we took our journey to bangkok.
