Siem Reap

After  the long bus journey to Siem Reap in the morning, I arrived and my tuk tuk man brought me to the hotel, which was alot better than I'd seen in the past few days, so I was thrilled. After meeting up with James and Terri, we walked around the city a bit and it was easy to see that it was more chilled than Phnom Penh. After a little while or maybe 20min...:)we decided to stop at a trendy beach bar and ordered a drink. When someone says "Cambodia" to you, you don't think "rain" but after sitting there for a awhile...it was evident rain was coming...we've upstairs in the bar for a bit more shelter and we didn't move for the next few hours. It was a tropical downfall...the power went out and we stayed in teh restaurant over candlelight and chatted whie waiting for the rain to stop. It was the 2nd time the power had gone out in a few days...and it wasn't going to be the last,  It was fine, we passed the time drinking and chatting about our lives and seeing the temples the next day.

 After the rain subsided, we ventured out onto the flooded streets to find a place with power where we could get something to eat and we wound up at a Mexican restaurant...lol...in Cambodia. They had fish tacos...my favorite...:) Well...the local food and the local market would be part of tomorrow's experience at the temples. We bought a few supplies like crayons, shirts for the hot weather and were ready for tomorrow at Angkor Wat( I hope I spelled that right).

The fish nibble pond

 During dinner Terri was telling me about the fishes at their hotel that would nibble on your toes. After walking around all day, it's easy to get a bit dirty and dusty. I got to try it at their hotel and it was genuinely bizarre....they stuck your foot in the pool and these fish would come along at nibble a bit here and there. They were even selling it on the streets...even to the boys...who could have it with a beer and the same time...makes it seem more manly if you can have a beer while doing it..;)
