Siem Reap


On first impression Siem Reap feels much like an Indian city.  The rickshaws and the beeping and the smells all felt like I could be in an Cambodian/Indian city. We found a big clean room with a TV for $5 a night which I was happy with.   There was still building work going on but it was fine because it seems every guesthouse we stay in has some form of building work going on...





Angkor Wat (City of Temples)

This was built sometime during the 12th century and is I believe the largest Hindu temple complex in the world. It is a massive site and we paid for a rickshaw to take us around just a section of the site which took about 6 hrs.  To do the whole  site you would have to buy a ticket for a couple of days.  It was incredible and the detail in the stone artwork is amazing.










Sweating like a biatch as always.  Just look at the pic below...  Sigh.
